Technical Information

Prepregs are reinforcement fibres (organic, inorganic, thermoplastic or even natural) that are generally preimpregnated with thermosetting resins and in most cases epoxy; although we can find special applications in which other resins such as phenolic, cyanoester, bismaleimide, etc. are used.

Carbon fibre is a material composed by extremely thin filaments, mainly made up of carbon atoms bonded together. The manufacturing processes, the alignment, thickness and shape in which these filaments are arranged, will define the behaviour and final characteristics of these fabrics. The following are some of the...

The Carbon fibre is one of the lightest and strongest materials currently available, and is made up of filaments with diameters much smaller than even human hair (between 5 and 10 microns). The main precursor of carbon fibre is a PAN (polyacrylonitrile), ...
