| PREGCYL™ NC R2HM-01 is a pre-impregnated material based on our EPOCYL NC R2HM01 formulated epoxy resin system modified with our own Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) and specifically developed to enhance the mechanical properties of the final composite parts. Applications: High performance composite parts - Automotive (bumpers and other structural parts)
- Marine, especially sailing boats (structural outer shell in carbon fiber composite, masts and other generic structural parts)
- Industrial parts (rollers, doctor-blades and wind-mill blades)
- Sporting equipments (bike frames, hockey sticks, tennis rackets, skis and golf shafts)
- Aerospace (structural parts and interiors)
Advantages High toughness (over 1200j/m2 in some configurations), Low CTE, 120 degrees C Tg, Easy and ready to use, Higher uniformity of temperature during curing (avoids hot-spots) Examples of fibers and fabrics available - 200 g/m² plain and twill 2/2 weave, 3K; 45% resin content
- 370 g/m² Harness 5 weave, 6K; 45% resin content
- 400 g/m² twill 2/2 weave, 12K; 45% resin content
- 600 g/m² twill 2/2 weave, 12K; 45% resin content
