This section outlines materials and processes for manufacturing high-quality structural carbon components using RTM processes, focusing on PRIME™ 180, ST 110, and SY 110 materials.
PRIME™ 180 is a resin with low mixed viscosity at room temperature, suitable for low-temperature injection followed by a pre-cure between 80-120°C. It is ideal for complex or thick section laminates, offering high-temperature performance and quick de-moulding.
ST 110, used with a suitable surfacing film and SY110 Syntactic Core, is perfect for complex or vertical mouldings, providing a balance of mechanical performance and toughness. It is compatible with autoclave and vacuum bag processing.
SY 110 is a lightweight, drapable core material designed to be co-curable with Gurit Epoxy Prepreg and SPRINT™ materials, producing ultra-light and stiff panels with fast lay-up times.
