Product catalog summary
Introduction
Gurit’s SPRINT™ product range features a high flow, low tack epoxy prepreg, allowing for out of autoclave part manufacture. The ST 160 SPRINT™ technology offers flexible curing options, including compression moulding, vacuum bag, or autoclave processing, with a cure time of just 15 minutes at 165°C (329°F). This product is suitable for use alone or with other Gurit products.
Product Information
The ST 160 carbon SPRINT™ is available in various formats. It is recommended to store prepreg materials in a freezer to maximize their usable life. The minimum viscosity is 9.6 Pa.s at 98°C (204°F). Storage life is 12 months at -18°C (0°F) and 4 weeks at +21°C (70°F).
Health and Safety
Refer to the product MSDS for specific health and safety information.
Curing Options
ST 160 offers flexible curing options with different methods and conditions:
  • Heated Plate/Vacuum Bag: Cure at 120°C (248°F) for 30 minutes.
  • Oven/Vacuum Bag: Cure at 120°C (248°F) for 30 minutes.
  • Press Moulding: Cure at 165°C (329°F) for 15 minutes.
Post-cure temperatures and times vary depending on the method used.
Laminate Properties
Standard processing techniques yield cured resin properties such as tensile strength of 85 MPa and flexural strength of 120 MPa. Woven laminate properties vary based on fabric type and include tensile strengths up to 712 MPa and compressive strengths up to 872 MPa.
Notice
All advice is given in good faith, but the company only warrants written advice given with reasonable skill and care. Customers are advised to conduct their own testing to ensure suitability for their applications. Specifications and prices are subject to change without notice.
