Product catalog summary
Typical Applications: The 304-1 epoxy resin system is suitable for various applications including sporting goods, marine, medical, and industrial manufacturing.
Out Life and Shelf Life: The out life is 30 days at 70°F (21°C). The shelf life is 6 months at 40°F (4°C) and 12 months at 0°F (-18°C).
Cure Epoxy Resin System: The system cures at temperatures between 250-300°F (121-149°C) and offers high toughness, high impact resistance, controlled flow, and moderate tack.
Application: The 304-1 can be used with various fibers such as carbon, quartz, aramid, S-glass, and E-glass in woven or unidirectional tape forms. Woven fabrics are available up to 60 inches wide, and unitape widths up to 39 inches.
Recommended Processing Conditions: Curing can be done using low, medium, or high-pressure molding techniques. The recommended cure cycle is 50 psi (345kPa), with a ramp of 3°F (1.7°C)/min to 275°F (135°C), held for 60 minutes, and cooled to below 140°F (60°C).
Description: The 304-1 is a highly toughened, controlled flow epoxy resin system with versatile processing and excellent mechanical properties, suitable for applications requiring strength and toughness.
Mechanical Properties: The document provides detailed mechanical data, including tensile strength, tensile modulus, compressive strength, compressive modulus, flexural strength, and flexural modulus at various temperatures and conditions.
Viscosity Profile: The viscosity profile is measured using a TA - AR2000 parallel plate rheometer, showing viscosity changes over time at different ramp rates.

Typical applications Sporting goods Marine Medical Industrial manufacturing Out life 30 days at 70°F (21°C) Shelf life 6 months at 40°F (4°C) 12 months at 0°F (-18°C) Description 304-1 is a 250°F (121°C) to 300°F (149°C) cure, highly toughened, controlled flow epoxy resin system. Versatile processing, excellent mechanical properties, and long out time make 304-1 suitable for a variety of applications where strength and toughness are required. Benefits/features • High toughness • High impact resistance • Controlled flow • Moderate tack Application 304-1 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 304-1 can be cured at temperatures from 250-300°F (121-149°C) depending on part size and complexity. Low, medium, and high pressure molding techniques may be used to cure 304-1. Recommended cure cycle is 50 psi (345kPa), 3°F (1.7°C)/min ramp to 275°F (135°C), hold for 60 minutes, cool to <140°F (60°C). ©2016 Mitsubishi Chemical Carbon Fiber and Composites, Inc.
