Description: M74 is a high flow, 350°F (177°C) curing epoxy resin with extensive space structural heritage*. M74 is formulated for autoclave processing, but it has been successfully processed by press molding. Unidirectional tape and woven fabric impregnated with M74 resin will retain good tack and drape for at least 10 days at 70°F (21°C). Standard cure is for two hours at 350°F (177°C). Hexcel recommended lay-up procedure is HSP-L1 or HSP-L2. Recommended cure procedure is HSP-C1 or HSP-C2. Typical applications for M74 include structural aircraft components and critical space structures. M74 meets all NASA outgassing requirements. Features: - 350°F (177°C) cure
