Group: Forum Members Posts: 2, Visits: 15	Hi there, What type of carbon fiber and resin system are used in XC110? Would it be possible to also provide properties of the resin system? like the cure time required at different curing temperature. Thanks!

Group: Forum Members Posts: 2, Visits: 15	Okay thanks, might have missed it previously Also, it was listed in the Data Sheet that the cure temperature range is from 85 to 120. Would it be possible to have a single stage instead of a two stage cure cycle? In that case, what would be the required duration at the lower temperature, e.g at 90 or 100?
