Solvay CYCOM® 985 Epoxy + Carbon Uni-Tape Laminate
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoset; Carbon Fiber/Thermoset Composite; Epoxy; Epoxy/Carbon Fiber Composite
Material Notes:	CYCOM® 985 is a 350°F (177°C) curing epoxy resin system. CYCOM 985 is designed for use where a balance of performance and processing characteristics is required. It has excellent structural performance and good impact resistance. CYCOM 985 is co-curable with structural adhesives and will produce outstanding thin-skinned sandwich structures. CYCOM 985 allows thick section construction without exotherm problems. Optimum properties are achieved by curing under autoclave pressure from 45 to 100 psi (as appropriate to panel configuration) at 350°F (177°C) for two hours. CYCOM 985 prepregs have good tack and drape and an out-time of two weeks at room temperature. Features & Benefits: Modified epoxy system Excellent hot/wet strength retention 350°F (177°C) cure Good impact resistance 300°F (149°C) service temperature Controlled flow Ease of processing Good tack and drape 14 day shop life Shelf life of 6 months at 0°F (-18°C) Applications: Primary and secondary aircraft structures Mechanical property data for 985 epoxy with 8 ply laminate with 56% fiber volume Carbon Uni-Tape 145 gsm Information provided by Cytec, subsequently acquired by Solvay.
