Product catalog summary
Introduction
PH 840 is a halogen-free modified phenolic prepreg designed for industrial and rail applications. It offers excellent fire, smoke, and toxicity (FST) behavior, mechanical properties, and surface finish. It can be cured between 120°C and 160°C and is suitable for composite structures with in-service temperatures from -55ºC to +80ºC.

Product Information
PH 840 is available in various formats with different weights and resin contents. It features E-Glass fiber material and is suitable for rail, industrial, marine, and automotive applications. The prepreg should be stored in a freezer to maximize its usable life.

Prepreg Properties
PH 840 exhibits a resin flow of over 10% and tackiness levels of T0, T1, and T2. It has a service temperature range of -55ºC to +80ºC and a typical roll length of 40-50 meters.

Qualifications / Fire Performance
PH 840 meets several fire performance standards, including BS 476-6 and 7 Class 1, BS 6853 R. 025, and DIN EN 45545 HL3.

Curing Conditions
The recommended curing process involves press, autoclave, or vacuum bag methods with a specific pressure of 0.7 bar. Curing times vary from 15 to 90 minutes depending on the temperature.

Laminate Properties
Mechanical properties at room temperature include flexural strength and modulus, interlaminar tensile shear strength, and glass transition temperature. At 80ºC, the flexural strength and modulus are specified for PHG840-300-42.

Burn Behaviour
PH 840 exhibits excellent burn behavior with low flammability, smoke density, and heat release rates.

Notice
All advice is given in good faith, but the company only warrants written advice with reasonable skill and care. Customers are advised to conduct their own testing to ensure suitability for their applications. Specifications and prices may change without notice.

PH 840 ESTABLISHED RAIL INTERIOR PHENOLIC PREPREG ¬ Excellent Fire, Smoke & Toxicity (FST) behaviour Excellent mechanical behaviour Good surface finish Autoclave-free processes possible Short curing time 15 min at 160ºC / 320ºF Long shelf and shop life INTRODUCTION PH 840 is a halogen-free modified phenolic system, designed for laminate with bright colour and good surface quality. This prepreg material has been developed for industrial and rail applications with high specific mechanical properties and excellent FST (low heat-release and smoke-density) behaviour. PH 840 can be cured between 120°C and 160°C (248°F and 320°F). Monolithic and sandwich structures can be easily manufactured with this prepreg. The curing can be performed by press, vacuum and autoclave moulding with a pressure of at least 0.7 bar / 10 psi. Suitable for composite structures experiencing in-service temperatures of -55ºC up to +80ºC. PH 840 prepreg is suitable for: Rail industries Industrial industries Marine and automotive applications
