Solvay BPS 240 format 1
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoset; Epoxy
Material Notes:	Description: BP240 is a two-ply, partially impregnated epoxy prepreg system designed for the manufacture of Body-in-White (BIW) panels with excellent surface quality from vacuum-only processing at cure temperatures between 85°C and 150°C (185°F and 302°F). The first ply utilizes Cytec’s ZPREG partial impregnation technology, consisting of a structural fabric coupled to a surface scrim and a high performance resin system. The second ply combines low-density syntactic core material and structural fabric to create significant panel rigidity in a rapid laminating format. The system is designed to be ready for painting without abrading or reworking. In many instances, paint can be applied directly to a degreased panel. Excellent environmental performance can be expected from panels painted in Hi-Bake & Lo-Back paint systems. Features & Benefits: 7 to 30 days out life at 21°C(70°F) 12 months storage at -18°C (0°F) Robust material format for consistent tack, excellent drape and form conformation Material architecture developed for reliable pin-hole-free finish, excellent panel flatness and rigidity High performance resin systems designed for service temperatures up to 106°C(320°F) Excellent physical and environmental performance in painted automotive applications Available, as standard, in carbon fiber and glass fiber variants, either in rolls or in pre-cut kits Recommended for use with high-quality composite or metallic tooling Flame retardant; self-extinguishing when tested to ISO 3795/FMVS302 Information provided by Cytec, subsequently acquired by Solvay.
