Carbon fiber prepreg 4030 series

aramid fiberepoxy resin

4030 is suitable for a wide range of flame retardant applications, and is specifically formulated for aircraft interior applications where flame retardance, smoke density, and heat release requirements must be met. Flexible and fast processing makes this resin system a perfect choice for high volume manufacturing utilizing compression, bladder, or autoclave molding. 4030 can be supplied with most commercially available fibers (carbon, quartz, aramid, S-glass, E-glass, etc.) in both woven form (designated as NB) as well as unidirectional tape (designated as NCT). Woven fabrics are available in standard commercial widths up to 60 inches (1.5 m). Unitape widths up to 39 inches (1 m) are available in standard fiber weights ranging from 70 – 300 gsm (0.014 – 0.060 psf). Recommended processing conditions 4030 can be cured at temperatures from 250°F (121°C) to 300°F (149°C), depending on part size and complexity. Low, medium, and high pressure molding techniques may be used for curing. Recommended cure cycle is 50 psi (345 kPa), 3°F (1.7°C)/min. ramp to 275°F (135°C), hold for 60 minutes, cool to <140°F (60°C).
