This particular prepreg product is is highly perishable and for best results has a very short 'out-life' of just 2-3 days at room temperature. For this reason, we do not recommend ordering from the USA unless you are confident that there won't be any delivery delays and are aware of, and willing to accept the risks of international shipping of a highly temperature sensitive material.
Do NOT order this material during periods of high ambient temperatures (i.e. hot summer months).
Unless you plan to use the product immediately, it should be placed into frozen storage immeditely on receipt.
Because of their perishable nature, we only ship prepregs internationally on priority (air) services. As a result of this, it may not always be possible to order prepregs at the same time as some large or bulky items. If this is the case, the shipping calculator will warn you and suggest that you remove large items or place separate orders.
Although orders to the USA are delivered 'duty paid', orders over $800 are still subject to a 'formal' customs entry procedure where US customs may contact you to confirm some details. We remind customers that customs clearance is your responsibility and that when ordering perishable 'prepregs' it is important to respond quickly to any such request in order to avoid delay and potential damage to the material. Easy Composites cannot be held responsible for damage caused to prepregs during transport as a result of customs delays. By placing an order for prepreg materials, you accept these conditions of sale.
When packaged, this product is over 1m in length. A small 'additional handling' charge will be included in the shipping cost.
To find the cost for delivery of this item to your address, add it to your cart then use the instant shipping calculator on the cart page.
Surface ply for our XT135 out-of-autoclave prepreg carbon fiber tooling system. This is an uncured prepreg material and requires an oven or autoclave to cure it.
The XT135 tooling system can be cured in an oven under vacuum pressure only and used to produce high quality carbon fiber molds/tools suitable for high temperature use. A single layer of this special 250gsm (7.2oz/yd²) surface ply should be combined with two or more layers of the heavier backing ply should be combined with a single layer of surface ply.
This prepreg reinforcement is 1.25m/1250mm (49") wide and sold in a choice of prepacked roll lengths.

XPREG® XT135 is a specialist out of autoclave carbon fiber tooling prepreg. It is designed to produce dimensionally accurate carbon fibre composite molds using vacuum bag and oven cure only.
The tooling system is made up of XT135/S 250gsm (7.4oz/yd²) surface ply listed on this page and the XT135/B backing ply.
A lightweight composite mold suitable for modest production volumes can be produced using just one surface and two backing plies (subject to mold geometry) whilst the recommended laminate for a production mold is one surface and four backing plies. See technical datasheet for full details on suggested layups and layup considerations.
Typical Uses
XT135/S is an out of autoclave tooling prepreg surface layer, part of the XT135 tooling system developed specifically for out-of-autoclave cure and as such uses a special gelcoat-like filled resin surface. XT135 should be used for the production of composite tools for cure and use out-of-autoclave.
If tools are required for autoclave use then we would suggest our XT200 autoclave-cure tooling system which doesn't require filled resins and therefore offer slightly superior shrinkage and higher service temperatures.
The Sample Pack contains two 400x300mm (15.7x11.8") pieces of prepreg.
Further Information
Full details on the correct storage, handling and processing of XPREG XT135 can be found in safety and technical datasheets, and complete processing guide.
Storage & Handling
WARNING!! HIGHLY PERISHABLE
XPREG® XT135 surface ply uses a special almost dry scrim to maintain air paths to the surface and achieve a pinhole-free surface finish from an out-of-autoclave cure. This scrim is extremely sensitive to out-life and will start to ‘wet-out’ within 2-3 days at room temperature (20°C), closing the air paths to the surface and increasing the risk of pinholes on the mould’s surface. For this reason, we do not recommend ordering from the USA unless you are confident that there won't be any delivery delays and are aware of, and willing to accept the risks of international shipping of a highly temperature sensitive material.
Do NOT order this material during periods of high ambient temperatures (i.e. hot summer months).

Unfortunately we do not stock any pre-pregs with a flexible resin. The only flexible resin we supply is our EF80 Flexible Epoxy Resin which is suitable for wet lay and vacuum bagged processes.
With the XPREG Tooling Pre-preg system, no additional gelcoat is needed. The Surface layer has sufficient resin in it to allow a good quality mould surface to be produced using just the Tooling system alone.
So far very impressed with this. Can't wait to pull a few parts from it...
