What resin is used in prepreg?
epoxy resin
It is mainly used resins based on epoxy resin. Vinyl ester-based prepregs are also available.
What is prepreg fabric?
“Prepreg” is the common term for a reinforcing fabric which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. This resin system (typically epoxy) already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, the prepreg is ready to lay into the mold without the addition of any more resin.

Is FR4 a prepreg?
The prepreg and core are two different parts of the PCB. For starters, the core is an FR4 material with copper traces. Whereas, the prepreg is fiberglass impregnated with resin.
What temperature does carbon fiber cure at?
Curing Prepreg Typical cure temperatures for prepregs range from 60°C up to around 180°C with the most common cure temperature for out-of-autoclave pre-pregs being around 100°C.
Which type of resin is best?
If you’re a beginner, I cannot stress here enough that you need to start with an epoxy resin. Why? Relatively speaking, epoxy is the ‘easiest’ to work with. It generally doesn’t require wearing a respirator mask and tends to be the most forgiving of environmental factors, such as humidity.
Who are the leading manufacturers of prepreg composites?
Axiom Materials, Inc., is a progressive prepreg, adhesive, and ancillary composite materials manufacturer founded with the intention of combining a state-of-the-art product platform with customer-focused service. The leading global supplier of composite materials, engineering services, tooling equipment, and select parts and systems.
What kind of material is a prepreg made of?
Prepregs are reinforcement materials that have been pre-impregnated with either a thermoplastic or thermoset resin, hence the name prepreg.
Can a resin system be used as a prepreg?
The resin system is typically an epoxy and already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, it’s ready to lay into a mold without the addition of resin or the steps required of a typical hand lay-up. The Carbon and Fiberglass Prepregs at FibreGlast.com offer a number of specific advantages:
What kind of applications can prepreg be used for?
Prepregs are used in: Aerospace, Defense / Ballistics, Marine, Transportation, Wind Energy / Power. Prepregs are used in high-performance applications where weight and mechanical properties take precedence over cost. High-end epoxy resins and carbon fiber, aramid or other advanced fibers are commonly used in prepreg structures.
