EP137 - Preimpregnated materials for aircraft parts (v2) - 2

Description Such composite structures can be exposed easily to temperatures in the range of -55ºC up to +90ºC. EP137-G228-40 consists of a S2-glass fabric Style 6522, impregnated with the epoxy resin EP137. The highly-toughened This prepreg meets the following AIRBUS material performance specification: resin matrix is a 125ºC curing system with a high flame-retardancy and low smoke behaviour at fire and provides excellent properties such as high interlaminar shear strength, adjustable tackiness and ABS 5672-02 retarded flow during processing. AIMS 05-10-027 (certification) The prepreg is...
