TECHNICAL DATA UD062/00

PRIMCO

Introduction

This is one of a series of prepregs developed for applications requiring both good mechanical
properties and low heat and smoke emission. These prepregs have qualified for aircraft interior
components such as galley panels and seat pallets.

Composition

This prepreg is based on a unidirectional glass and is impregnated with resin mix 207 to a nominal
30% resin content. The construction of the fabric is as follows:

Style Unidirectional Glass Fabric

Weight 220 gsm Nominal
Width 43 cm (Up to 50 cm maximum)

The prepreg is designed as the structural layers in honeycomb fabrications and is used in
conjunction with SL199 prepreg as the bonding layer.

The resin used is a proprietary, modified phenol formaldehyde resin having good mechanical and
flammability properties when cured as recommended. The prepreg is pliable to lightly tacky.

Cure Schedule

The recommended cure schedules are as Option 1 Option 2

follows:

Lay up the laminate and apply a vacuum of at

least 630 mm Hg. De-bulk as necessary depending
upon the complexity of the moulding.

Place in autoclave and apply a pressure of 3 ± 0.3

Bar.

Heat up at a rate of 2 - 5°C per minute to 125°C ± 5°C 135 ± 5°C

Cure Maintain at 125 ± 5°C Maintain at 135 ±

for 90 minutes. 5°C for 75 minutes.
Cool at a rate not exceeding 10°C per minute.

Release pressure.

Alternatively the laminate may be press cured using the above temperature cycles.
