Solvay CYFORM® 22 Epoxy Tooling Prepreg
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoset; Epoxy
Material Notes:	Description: CYFORM 22 is a proven, high-performance and cost-effective, low-temperature-curing epoxy tooling system available with either carbon or glass reinforcement. CYFORM 22 allows high-quality tooling laminates to be produced directly from a low-temperature master model. After vacuum bag/oven or autoclave processing for the initial cure, the tool laminate can be de-molded and post-cured “free-standing”. CYFORM 22 is supplied in roll form with a standard roll length of 25 yards (25 meters). Standard material width is 50 inches (1000 – 1270mm). Materials are shipped frozen and in insulated boxes. Features & Benefits: Provides versatile low temperature curing options from 7 days at 68°F (20°C) to 5 hours at 130°F (55°C) Manufactured to ensure uniform resin distribution in fabrics with <1% volatile content Formulated for long-term thermal oxidative stability during normal 350°F (177°C) service Exhibits low and predictable shrinkage with both carbon and glass fiber reinforcement Closely matches the thermal expansion coefficient of composite parts reducing dimensional inaccuracies and residual stress levels When used with a surface gel coat, produces tools of extremely low void content via vacuum-bag-only processing if autoclave facilities are not available Determined safe to use via extensive toxicological screening (contains no MDA or VCHDs) Suggested Applications: Tools used for manufacture of composite components where the master model is made of high-CTE material Ideally suited for the rapid manufacture of complex mold tooling; e.g., Formula 1 race cars Information provided by Cytec, subsequently acquired by Solvay.
