Product catalog summary
Typical Applications: The 307 epoxy resin system is used in UAV spars, marine masts, and wind blade spar-caps, particularly for applications requiring very thick parts.
Out Life and Shelf Life: The out life is 30 days at 70°F (21°C). Shelf life is 6 months at 40°F (4°C) and 12 months at 0°F (-18°C).
Benefits/Features: The resin system offers low exotherm, scorch resistance, high toughness, and excellent mechanical properties.
Application: Suitable for low pressure, vacuum bag molding techniques, and can be combined with various fibers like carbon, quartz, aramid, S-glass, and E-glass. Available in woven form (NB) and unidirectional tape (NCT).
Recommended Processing Conditions: Typically cured at 250-300°F (121-149°C) with a recommended cure cycle of 50 psi (345 kPa); 3°F (1.7°C)/min ramp to 275°F (135°C); hold for 90-120 minutes, then cool to below 140°F (60°C).
Description: The 307 is a highly toughened, controlled flow epoxy resin system designed for thick parts, offering versatile processing and excellent mechanical properties.
Mechanical Properties: Gel time at 275°F (135°C) is 11-18 minutes. Specific gravity is 1.22. Tensile strength is 11.2 ksi (77.2 MPa) and tensile modulus is 0.429 Msi (2.95 GPa). Compressive strength is 16.9 ksi (116 MPa) and compressive modulus is 0.449 Msi (3.09 GPa).
Outgassing Properties: Tested in accordance with ASTM E595, showing a total mass loss (TML) of 0.28%, water vapor recovered (WVR) of 0.09%, and collected volatile condensable materials (CVCM) of less than 0.01%.
Performance Data: For HS40 Uni carbon and MR60H Uni carbon, various tensile, compressive, and flexural strengths and moduli are provided, tested under different conditions and methods such as ASTM D3039 and ASTM D695mod.
Viscosity Profile: The viscosity profile is measured using a TA - AR2000 parallel plate rheometer, showing changes in viscosity over time at different temperatures.

250-300°F (121-149°C) Cure Epoxy Resin System Typical applications UAV spars Marine masts Wind blade spar-caps 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 307 is a 250-300°F (121-149°C) cure, highly toughened, controlled flow epoxy resin system specifically designed for thick parts. Versatile processing, excellent mechanical properties, and long out time make 307 suitable for a variety of applications. Benefits/features • Low exotherm • Scorch-resistant • High toughness • Excellent mechanical properties Application The low exotherm properties of 307 make it an ideal product for UAV spars, marine masts, wind blade spar-caps, and other applications where very thick parts are required. It is well suited for low pressure, vacuum bag molding techniques. 307 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 307 is typically cured at 250-300°F (121-149°C) depending on part size and complexity. Low, medium and high pressure molding techniques may be used for curing. Recommended cure cycle is 50 psi (345 kPa); 3°F (1.7°C)/min ramp to 275°F (135°C); hold for 90-120 minutes, cool to <140°F (60°C). ©2016 Mitsubishi Chemical Carbon Fiber and Composites, Inc.
