Technical Details & Test Data
- Curing Conditions
The recommended cycle is:
1. Apply a 0.8 bar vacuum to component
2. Heat up to 120°C at 2°C/min
3. Apply a 3 bar pressure and vent vacuum when pressure reaches 1.5 bar
4. Dwell at 120°C for 20 min
5. Apply 7 bar pressure after dwell
6. Heat up to 180°C at 2°C/min
7. Cure at 180°C for 3 hours
8. Cool to 60°C before releasing pressure and removing component
