Materials Features
Key Features & Benefits
  • Designed to replace first generation 350°F (176°C) cure systems
  • Wide cure temperature process window of 260°F to 350°F (lower cures are possible depending on the application)
  • Exhibits low void content, e.g., <2% after oven/vacuum cure.
  • Excellent fiber property translation.
  • 180°F Wet service temperature after ~270°F cure
  • Good tack and drape characteristics after 30 days at room temperature.
Product Forms
  • Available on a wide variety of reinforcements including fiberglass and carbon
  • Various Fabrics per customer requirements (e.g., plain, harness and twill weaves)
  • Unitape and glass broad goods up to 60 inches wide
  • Compatible with autoclave, vacuum bag/oven or press cure processes

Applications & Uses

Autoclave/ Cure Cycle
  • Apply 24”Hg vacuum (minimum) for a minimum of 1 hour before cure
  • Apply 40 -100 psi autoclave pressure, vent vacuum when pressure reaches 15 – 20 psi
  • Ramp product temp to 270-280°F at 1 – 5° F (0.05 – 3°C)/min
  • For Laminates > 0.125” thick, hold at 180°F for 60 minutes
  • Hold product at 270-280°F for 110-130 minutes
  • Cool to 150°F at 3 – 10°F/min prior to releasing autoclave pressure
Applications / Qualifications
  • Primary Aircraft Structures
  • Fuselage
  • Wing
  • Control Surfaces
  • Secondary Aircraft Structures
  • Fairings
  • Doors
  • Radomes
  • Bulkheads
Vacuum/Oven Cure Cycle
  • Apply 25”Hg vacuum (minimum) for a minimum of 1 hour before cure
  • Ramp product temp to 270-280°F at 1 – 5° F (0.05 – 3°C)/min
  • For laminates > 0.125” thick, hold at 180°F for 60 minutes
  • Hold product at 270-280°F for 110-130 minutes
  • Cool to 150°F at 3 – 10°F/min
Thick Laminate Cure Cycle
  • Slower ramp rate and multiple dwell times below 190°F are critical to remove excess energy from the system and avoid dangerous exotherms.
  • Contact your Park representative to discuss specific part process requirements to optimize processing of E-765.
  • Failure to properly control the exotherm can lead to a potential safety hazard and/or degradation of final material performance.
