Material Notes:
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 partsAutomotive (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 confiations), 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 available200 g/m² plain and twill 2/2 weave, 3K; 45% resin content370 g/m² Harness 5 weave, 6K; 45% resin content400 g/m² twill 2/2 weave, 12K; 45% resin content600 g/m² twill 2/2 weave, 12K; 45% resin content150 g/m² UD; 37% resin content100 g/m² UD; 37% resin contentProperties of the cured and fiber reinforced composite The values given are for pressed laminates comprising 8 layers of unidirectional (UD) carbon fibers high tenacity (Tenax 12K HTS 5631) fo 230 g/m².
