Prepregs are becoming increasingly popular in the composite industry due to their impeccable surface finish, consistency, and ease of use. Manufacturers can rely on prepregs to improve part uniformity, reduce excess resin weight, and eliminate resin voids in finished products. A critical factor in using prepregs for manufacturing is providing adequate cold storage as well […]

Choosing the right prepreg manufacturer can be a daunting task. Not only do you need a manufacturer with the capabilities to create quality prepreg materials, but you also need someone who will meet your requirements for production volume and customizations. Below, we have provided a short summary of the three primary considerations to take into […]

Vacuum bagging employs atmospheric pressure as a clamping method to hold epoxy-coated parts of a laminate in their intended position throughout the curing process, facilitating the best possible shape and longevity for the epoxy coating. The composite parts are set into an open-face mold and then sealed into a vacuum bag, after which air is […]

Epoxies are thermoset polymers that are commonly used as coatings or adhesives. Epoxy adhesives are strong and can easily accommodate the rigorous demands of commercial and industrial applications. Epoxy coatings are similarly tough and can protect underlying materials from impact damage or environmental wear. They form exceptionally hard, strong outer surfaces, and some epoxies can […]
