Shipping Information

Non Hazardous

This product is not classed as dangerous goods for transport and can be shipped to all US addresses without restriction.

Prepregs are Perishable!

Prepreg materials are stored in our freezers at -20°C (-4°F) and are shipped from our warehouse still frozen. This prepreg has an 'out-life' of at least 30 days at room temperature and so typical delivery times will still leave plenty of 'out-life' remaining.

During summer months or periods of hot weather, it is recommended to order prepregs at the start of the week (Monday or Tuesday) to avoid adding extra shipping days over the weekend.

Unless you plan to use the product immediately, it should be placed into frozen storage as soon as possible 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.

Customs Clearance

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.

Package Size

When packaged, this product is over 1m in length. A small 'additional handling' charge will be included in the shipping cost.

XT135/B 415g (12.3oz) 12k Tooling Prepreg Carbon 1250mm (49")

Backing 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 minimum of two layers of this heavy 415gsm (12.3oz/yd²) 2x2 twill 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 surface ply and the 415gsm (12.2oz/yd²) XT135/B carbon fiber tooling prepreg backing ply listed on this page.

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/B is an out of autoclave tooling prepreg backing 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 XT180 or XT210 autoclave-cure tooling systems which don’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

XPREG® XT135 should be stored frozen at -18°C (0°F) in sealed plastic packaging.

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.
