XC130 150g Unidirectional Prepreg Carbon Fibre (300mm)

150gsm unidirectional prepreg carbon fibre made using the XPREG® XC130 resin system. This 100% unidirectional reinforcement is entirely unsupported and so has no weft fibres to disrupt the the unidirectional fibres.

This UD prepreg can be used to add very specifically targeted (and oriented) strength to any composites component. Most typically, unidirectional reinforcement is used in conjunction with woven reinforcement to produce high performance components with strength exactly where it is needed.

This prepreg material can be used on its own or in conjunction with other XC130 prepregs (for autoclave or press curing). When cured in a press or autoclave this XC130 unidirectional prepreg can be used as any ply in the laminate, including the surface ply.

Use with XPREG® XC110 Out-of-Autoclave Prepreg

The XC130 resin system used in this prepreg is 100% compatible with the XPREG XC110 out-of-autoclave resin system and so this material can be used to add unidirectional reinforcement to laminates intended for out-of-autoclave cure.

When using XC130 prepregs (including this XC130 unidirectional carbon fibre prepreg) alongside XC110 prepregs for out-of-autoclave cure it is important to ensure that the first two plies down into the mould use the XC110 out-of-autoclave resin system. After the first two XC110 plies are down, XC130 prepregs (such as this unidirectional material) can be used without detriment to the surface finish.
