Technical Details & Test Data
- Cure Cyle
Initial cure 65°C at a ramp rate of up to 2°C and maintain for 16 hours, process under vacuum, pressing or autoclave. Post cure (where required for high Tg) 1 hour dwell at 120°C - maximum ramp rate of 20°C per hour. Resulting Tg: 125°C (DSC).
Alternative cure cycles and resulting Tg:
