Renegade Materials Corporation RM-3004

Renegade Materials Corporation RM-3004 prepreg products offer an Out of Autoclave (OOA) option for processing BMI’s. This very unique chemistry can be processed into low-void, high quality, thick laminates with only a vacuum bag in the oven. Yet it still delivers excellent hot/wet performance and durability in airframe, missile and propulsion applications at service temperatures up to 400°F (204°C). RM-3004 (OOA) BMI delivers comparable damage tolerance at high temperatures to industry-standard Autoclave Processed BMI’s. Although developed for structural applications, RM-3004 also offers some unique advantages for tooling. Renegade precision-quality prepregs exhibit excellent handling characteristics and are available in woven and unidirectional form on various fibers including carbon, quartz and S2 glass. A wide variety of nano-materials can be incorporated into this resin system for tailored laminate properties and multi-functional performance. Renegade has formulated compatible BMI Paste Adhesive products (RM-3006, RM-3007) for use with RM-3004 prepregs. Renegade also offers BMI resin systems for RTM (RM-3000) or VARTM (RM-3010) infusion processing.

Recommended Post Cure Cycle

In an Air Circulating Oven
Step 1: Heat to 475°F±10°F (246°C±5.56°C) at 3°F(1.67°C)/min
Note: Lower temperature post cures may be more appropriate for
your application depending on your Tg requirements.
Step 2: Hold 6 hours

Bagging Scheme

Renegade Materials Corporation RM-3004 - Bagging Scheme*Equivalent Materials can be used in place of any of the bagging materials shown above.

  • Any steel material capable of withstanding the cure conditions may be used; 1/8” minimum thickness.
  • The number of bleeder plies to be used depends upon the target resin content. Bleeder plies can be placed on both sides of the laminate or just on top. If placing bleeders on the bottom, add a piece of porous PTFE coated fiberglass release ply against the laminate.
  • Fold up layers of boat cloth to the thickness of the panel to create a dam around the part. This will create a path for gasses to escape and provide sufficient edge breather.
  • Use any glass breather that will withstand the cure conditions and use enough material to allow a breather path from the vacuum ports, monitors and parts.
  • Use any vacuum bagging film that will withstand the cure conditions.
