Solvay CYCOM® 977-2 Epoxy - Carbon Fiber Laminate
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoset; Carbon Fiber/Thermoset Composite; Epoxy; Epoxy/Carbon Fiber Composite
Material Notes:	CYCOM® 977-2 is a 350°F (177°C) curing toughened epoxy resin with a 260 – 280°F (126 – 138°C) dry and 220°F (104°C) wet service capability. CYCOM 977-2 is formulated for autoclave or press molding. Unidirectional tape and woven fabric impregnated with CYCOM 977-2 resin will retain tack for at least 10 days at 72°F (22°C) and has a long mechanical out life suitable for fabrication of large structures. The recommended lay-up procedure for this material is L-15. The recommended cure is C-50. Features & Benefits: Toughened epoxy using Cytec Engineered Materials’ proprietary “co-continuous” morphology 350°F (177°C) cure Available in a broad range of fibers and forms including tape, fabric and roving Excellent impact resistance Controlled flow 260 – 280°F (126 – 138°C) dry and 220°F (104°C) wet service temperature Autoclave or press mold processing Shelf life of 12 months at 0°F (-18°C), 42 days at 72°F (22°C) Applications: Aircraft primary and secondary structure Space structure Ballistics Cryogenic tanks Any application where impact resistance and light weight are required Mechanical property data per BMS 8-276 for epoxy laminate with 57-63% fiber volume Intermediate Modulus [40 msi (276 GPa) Class] Carbon Fiber Reinforced Unidirectional Tape. 'Wet' property data after 7 day water immersion at 165°F (74°C). Information provided by Cytec, subsequently acquired by Solvay.
