ZOLTEK produces uni-directional (UD) prepreg tapes based on ZOLTEK carbon fiber. ZOLTEK prepreg is ideal for large-volume composite applications where high production throughput, excellent composite properties, and low material cost are important. A wide selection of epoxy resin formulations (28 tp 45 % (wt/wt)) meets most processing and composite property requirements for tack, toughness, surface finish, cure time, cure temperature, and delivered composite strength and modulus. Custom formulations are also available. Packaging options include core size, customer specified knitting requirements, and custom labeling. ZOLTEK prepreg production is geared to large volumes and low cost. APPLICATIONS: Wind energy, automotive, petroleum production, aviation, marine, industrial, other transportation, medical (including X-ray), sports and recreation, etc. Excellent for hand layup or automated fabrication processes. Mechanical properties reported are typical but vary with resin system, loading, cure cycle, etc. Information provided by Zoltek Corporation. |
