Introduction

WT93 is part of the WE and WT range of prepreg, SPRINT ® , and AIRSTREAM™ products. This uniqueproduct range provides technically and commercially competitive engineering materials, ideal for use eithersolely, or in conjunction with other products from within the product range along with other Gurit products. WT93 is a hot melt, Diuron free epoxy SPRINT ® ideally suited to the manufacture of thick sections. It can be cured attemperatures as low as 85°C, but can also be used for the rapid manufacture of components through its 45-minute cure at 120°C. All of this can be achieved together with an out-life of 75 days at 21°C.WT93 is designed for vacuum bag processing and offers excellent mechanical performance on glass fibrereinforcements. Currently WT93 is manufactured into a SPRINT ® structure with E-glass fibres, which are manufacturedinto biax or triax materials, these are produced in large volumes in order to make it a cost-effective composite buildingblock for a range of applications.The biaxial SPRINT ® is a ±45º stitched E-glass fabric using a fibre weight of 300, 600, 100 or 1800g.The triaxial SPRINT ® is a ±45º biaxial E-glass stitched to unidirectional fabric giving a total fibre weight of 900 or 1200g.This material can be used as a thick drapable fabric. The triaxial SPRINT ® is available with a glass tissue on the biaxside, which helps to prevent print-through. PDSWE-WT93-3-0907 1
