Solvay LTM® 12 Epoxy Resin
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoset; Epoxy
Material Notes:	LTM10 series tooling prepregs, including LTM® 12, are low temperature curing epoxy resins systems that can be post cured to produce tools with a service temperature of 200°C (392°F). These prepregs are suitable for the manufacture of small to large tools. Features & Benefits: 2 to 6 days out life at 21°C (70°F) Minimum of 6 months storage at -18°C (0°F) Autoclave cure Mold tools directly from low temperature master Prepregs have excellent tack and drape Initial cure temperatures down to 20°C (68°F) Able to produce tools with low residual stress Unsupported (free standing) post-cure Low tool shrinkage matched to Cytec’s tooling block expansion during cure Low tooling coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) matched with Cytec-supplied backing structures Good retention of mechanical properties up to 180°C (356°F) when fully post cured Long term service up to 200°C (392°F) in air Product Variants: LTM10: Suitable for rapid, very low temperature initial cure of smaller tools LTM12: Suitable for low temperature initial cure of small-medium tools LTM16: Suitable for low to medium temperature initial cure of large tools due to longer out life.
