Technical Details & Test Data
- Molding Suggestions
AMC® 8595 can be molded at temperatures in the range of 260-310°F, with 280°F suggested as a starting point. Cure times will be dependent on molding temperature and part thickness and will typically be 5-10 minutes. Detailed molding suggestions are available on request. Cool molded parts at ambient temperature. A cooling fixture may be needed depending on part thickness and geometry.
Packaging & Availability

Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 2 Months (75°F)
- Precautions
AMC® 8595 contains carbon fibers and should be handled carefully in order to minimize skin contact. Molding areas should be well ventilated to minimize exposure to fumes. Presses must be provided with local exhaust to remove vapors from work areas. If adequate ventilation is not available, a respirator approved for removing organic vapor must be used. Care must be taken to prevent contact of carbon fibers with electrical equipment.
