Solvay DURATOOL® 450 BMI Tooling Prepreg
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoset; Bismaleimide (BMI)
Material Notes:	Description: DURATOOL 450 is a proven, high-performance bismaleimide (BMI) resin/carbon fiber tooling system that is capable of continuous service at 375°F (190°C) and short cycle service at 400°F (204°C). DURATOOL 450 allows high-quality tooling laminates to be produced directly from a high-temperature master models or a variety of intermediate materials. After autoclave processing for the initial cure, the tool laminate can be de-molded and post-cured “free-standing”. DURATOOL 450 is supplied in roll form with a standard roll length of 50 yards (50 meters). Standard material width is 50 inches (1000 – 1250mm). Materials are shipped frozen and in insulated boxes. Features & Benefits: Proven capable of more than 1000 autoclave cycles at 375°F (190°C) without deterioration Manufactured to ensure uniform resin distribution in fabrics with <1% volatile content Formulated for long term thermal oxidative stability during normal 375°F (190°C) service Exhibits low and predictable shrinkage allowing manufacturing process design to net size tool Closely matches the thermal expansion coefficient of composite parts reducing dimensional inaccuracies and residual stress levels Determined safe to use via extensive toxicological screening (contains no MDA or VCHDs) Suggested Applications: Ideal for multiple-tool/high-production-rate manufacture of composite components Information provided by Cytec, subsequently acquired by Solvay.
