THINPREG™ TP 513 is a prepreg resin matrix used for the manufacture of light weight prepreg molding materials. ThinPreg™ 513 is a versatile system that is used most often with carbon fiber, but can also be impregnated into a wide range of reinforcing fibers including quartz, glass, aramid etc.

THINPREG™ TP 135 is a breakthrough product combining high strength and high toughness in a thin ply format. The PES-toughened epoxy system shows compression after impact properties typical of 3rd generation aerospace matrices. Thin ply materials achieve higher usable properties from the fiber through spreading load more consistently though the laminate and delaying first ply failure. Negligible ply drop-off effects and greater degrees of freedom in design are now combined with a PES-toughened system for high resolution, highly optimized, super-strong composite structures.

THINPREG™ GF736 is a toughened epoxy adhesive film, with excellent tack and drape characteristics, supplied on a paper backer either in an unsupported format or with an embedded ultra-lightweight glass carrier to aid handling. GF736 offers many advantages for bonding composite laminates, either to other laminates, or to structural cores, including; consistent bond-line thickness and weight, high strain to failure, high toughness, handling convenience, controlled flow and a 6 week out-life at ambient temperature (18-22ºC/64-72ºF).

THINPREG™ TP 150SC is designed for the automotive market due to the snap-cure capability for low TAKT times while achieving good mechanical properties, and the additional benefit of not requiring frozen or refrigerated storage.

THINPREG™ TP 402 is a resin system suitable for manufacture of unidirectional prepreg material. ThinPreg™ 402 is a versatile system that is used most often with carbon fiber, but can also be impregnated into a wide range of reinforcing fibers including quartz, glass, aramid fiber etc. ThinPreg™ 402 features a high Tg (180°C) capability with additional toughening, and has been designed to be a good all-round product in terms of mechanical strength and processability.

THINPREG™ TP 415 is a rubber toughened version of TP402, design for sporting goods application, combining high elongation and great toughness. It is available in ultra-Thin Ply format, as low as 15gsm. This hot-melt epoxy prepreg is recommended to be cured at 135°C for optimal performance and a Tg until 145°C Onset (by E’ DMA). This matrix has a very good flow control. TP415 offers excellent mechanical properties on a wide variety of fibers, and fiber weights.
