PRF Composite Materials RP542-3 is a winter version of our popular RP542-1 component prepreg, providing a controlled flow, toughened epoxy prepreg system formulated for the manufacture of high performance structural composite parts requiring very good impact strength properties. The system has been formulated for a medium temperature cure of 90 - 120°C under vacuum or autoclave pressure and is also suitable for press molding. Fully cured, this system has a dry service temperature capability up to 120°C. The component surface finish with this system is excellent. The high tack level of this system is ideal for use in cold weather conditions, where temperatures in workshops drop below 15°C. The out life of the system is up to 40 days at 20°C, making this system suitable for the manufacture of large composite components. RP542-3 can be supplied on most of the vast range of PRF reinforcement materials in widths up to 1350 mm wide.
