Product catalog summary
Introduction
Gurit’s SE 160 is a 160°C Tg structural epoxy prepreg known for its excellent handling, drape, and mold conformance. It offers high-quality laminates with low void content, fast lay-up times, and excellent mechanical performance. The product can be cured using various methods such as compression molding, vacuum bag, or autoclave processing, with a flexible cure time of just 15 minutes at 165°C (329°F). It has a shelf-life of at least 8 weeks at 21°C (70°F).
Product Information
SE 160 carbon prepreg is available in multiple formats. For detailed information, customers are advised to contact their local sales representative. The product should be stored in a freezer to maximize its usable life, as low temperatures reduce the reaction of resin and catalyst.
Prepreg Properties
The SE 160 resin has a minimum viscosity of 9.6 Pa.s at 98°C (204°F). It should be stored at -18°C (0°F) for up to 12 months or at +21°C (70°F) for up to 4 weeks.
Health and Safety
Users should refer to the product's Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for specific health and safety information.
Curing Information
SE 160 offers flexible curing options with different methods and conditions. For example, a typical laminate with 10 plies of SE 160 RC200T prepreg can be cured at 120°C (248°F) for 30 minutes using a heated plate or vacuum bag, or at 180°C (329°F) for 15 minutes using press molding.
Laminate Properties
The cured resin properties include a tensile strength of 85 MPa and a flexural strength of 120 MPa. The woven laminate properties, cured using standard techniques, include a tensile strength of 692 MPa and a compressive strength of 793 MPa.
Notice
All advice and recommendations are given in good faith, but the company only warrants written advice given with reasonable skill and care. Customers are encouraged to conduct their own testing to ensure suitability for their applications. Specifications and prices are subject to change without notice.
