Zoltek Carbon Fiber Prepregs

Product catalog summary
Overview: Zoltek produces uni-directional (UD) prepreg tapes using Panex carbon fiber, ideal for high-volume composite applications requiring high production throughput, excellent properties, and low cost. The prepregs are customizable in terms of fiber areal weight, resin content, and width to meet specific customer needs.
Specifications: The fiber areal weight ranges from 4.4 to 26.5 oz/yd² (150 to 900 g/m²), with resin content between 28 to 45% by weight. The tapes can be up to 50 inches wide and 4,900 feet long. Various epoxy resin formulations are available to provide processing flexibility and meet diverse application requirements.
Applications: These prepreg tapes are suitable for industries such as wind energy, automotive, petroleum production, aviation, marine, industrial, transportation, medical, and sports.
Packaging Options: Tapes are supplied on heavy-walled cardboard tubes with diameters of 10, 12, or 18 inches. Customers can choose paper or poly film interleaf options, and special packaging requests such as custom labeling and roll sizes are accommodated.
Certification and Safety: Each shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis, either standard or customized to customer specifications. Users are advised to read the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before using the product.
Typical Properties: The tensile strength is 276 ksi (1,903 MPa), and the tensile modulus is 19.4 msi (134 GPa). Compressive strength is 192 ksi (1,324 MPa), and compressive modulus is 18.7 msi (129 GPa). Interlaminar shear strength is 11 ksi (76 MPa), and in-plane shear strength is 8.6 ksi (59 MPa). The glass transition temperature is 252°F (122°C).
Standards and Testing: The properties are tested according to DIN EN ISO and ASTM standards, with data normalized to specific fiber volume percentages.
