    1. PREPREG FABRIC

      PREPREG FABRIC

      Storable at room temperature, TCR Prepreg fabrics are available in many styles, weights, and widths. Commonly used fabrics are often stocked onsite at TCR Composites while any other fabrics, including specialty items, are obtained from suppliers worldwide. With the long out-life of TCR resins, the prepreg fabrics can be stored, used and processed without a shortage of time. Fabrics, also referred to as “broadgoods”, are used in a wide variety of markets including marine, industrial, infrastructure, aerospace, medical and recreation. The broadgood forms available as prepreg from TCR Composites include Stitched, Uni-Woven, Non-Woven, Multi-Axial and Hybrids.

    2. PREPREG TOW

      PREPREG TOW

      TCR Towpregs feature a patented thermoset resin system, storable at room temperature, that can be used with virtually any continuous fiber reinforcement. TCR Towpregs are designed for high throughput (up to 900 ft or 275 m per minute) for filament winding applications. Tow can be impregnated utilizing 6K to 60K standard modulus to high modulus carbon fibers as well as glass, basalt and aramid with equivalent cross sections. TCR resins are matched with industry fibers to provide optimal performance. Each fiber has unique properties and may require a specific resin to achieve maximum performance. From high-performance rocket-motor cases to the highest quality commercial pressure cylinders, TCR Towpregs are the material of choice for pressure vessels and are used in a variety of markets including aerospace, defense, industrial, infrastructure, recreation and marine.

    3. PREPREG UNI-DIRECTIONAL TAPE

      PREPREG UNI-DIRECTIONAL TAPE

      TCR’s line of carbon unidirectional tapes features a patented thermoset epoxy resin system with extended out-times at room temperature. Customer may specify resin types, resin content and fiber areal weights (FAW) from 150 to 600 gsm. Uni-tapes are available with poly backing. Reinforcements may be selected from various carbon fiber suppliers. Unidirectional tapes are fibers impregnated with a resin matrix; all fibers run in the same direction. They can be made in a variety of weights and thicknesses to meet customer requirements. TCR commercial grade prepreg uni-tapes are ideal for fabricating composite products that require long lay-up times and thick laminate construction. Uni-tapes are well-suited for recreation, infrastructure, industrial and medical applications.

    4. Press Automation | Cutting & Stacking

      Press Automation | Cutting & Stacking

      Take your FRP component production to the next level. The majority of FRP processing applications still rely on manual processes. The DIEFFENBACHER press automations and cutting and stacking systems enables a considerable increase in productivity and system efficiency fully automated. They replaces the error-prone and time-consuming manual steps of the cutting process. Press Line: Turnkey system; hydraulic press and line automation Press Automation: Automation of an existing hydraulic press Cutting & Stacking Unit: For cutting and stacking operations, e.g., automating a preforming system, cutting dry fiber fabrics, etc.

    5. Pressure Sensing Elements

      Pressure Sensing Elements

      Pressure sensing elements are sometimes referred to as oil filled capsules, piezoresistive pressure capsules or pressure transducer capsules. The sensing element consists of a convolute diaphragm and a small amount of oil to transfer the pressure applied on the diaphragm to the piezo resistive sensing element. The oil can be silicone, or food grade depending on liquid or gas to be measured. Due to their compact size, the pressure sensing elements can be embedded into meters or measuring instruments. There are several output options including mV, amplified or digital I2C or SPI. The digital output pressure sensing elements can have a dual output of temperature and pressure and low power options are available for battery powered applications. Custom solutions can be provided.

    6. PRO-SET Epoxy Products

      PRO-SET Epoxy Products

      PRO-SET® composite products include a specialist range of epoxy systems from infusion epoxies and wet lay-up systems to adhesives, accessories and fairing compounds. PRO-SET products are used for building high-performance, lightweight composite structures that can withstand the harshest environments. From automotive parts to wind turbine blades to hi-tech hulls, PRO-SET epoxy can enhance the strength and durability of practically any composite component. Designed for use in wet lay-up procedures involving woven and multi-axial glass, aramid, carbon-fibre and hybrid fabrics, our PRO-SET resin-hardener combinations have been formulated specifically for laminating, infusion, tooling and assembly. As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, the range has recently been reformulated and expanded to better meet the demands of modern composite manufacturing. All the new formulations offer improved handling characteristics with excellent cure profiles and are designed to enable companies to rapidly fulfill orders very competitively. If these standard formulations do not match your precise requirements we are able, as part of the Wessex Resins & Adhesives Group, to work with you to create custom epoxy systems which exactly meet your requirements. Turnaround times are fast and more significantly, we are able to provide customised PRO-SET formulations in relatively small volumes.
