RP570 Snap Cure Epoxy Prepreg System
RP570 eXpress cure, epoxy prepreg system with complete processing time of 4 minutes at 140°C
RP570 Snap Cure Epoxy prepreg is an innovative system which has a complete process time of just 4 minutes and produces an aesthetic quality finish in pressed components. Developed for high volume production of parts produced by heated press process, RP570 Snap Cure enables the constructor to create parts in a processing time of just 4 minutes, with no need to cycle the mould tool or to cool the hot mould tool before demoulding at 140°C.
Working continuously on a pre-heated mould tool at 140°C, the preform is placed on the mould tool, the mould tool is closed and pressure applied. After 4 minutes the part is fully cured and can be removed from the mould tool without any cooling, enabling parts to be made back-to-back without heating and cooling the mould tool each time. This is achieved by a rapid rise in the Tg of the system, enabling it to rise above the temperature of the mould tool in the 4 minute cycle time.
The system is available on the majority of our large range of reinforcement fabrics.
