Hi Forum..!
I need to process by hand layup Aramid Fabrics (Kevlar) with epoxy resin. How much resin the Kevlar will need to be wetted?
Kevlar Propiertes
360 g/m2
1500 Denier
0/90°
Epoxy
Laminating epoxy, low viscosity
Thanks!

If you See trying to achieve prepreg resin content with hand laminating techniques you will almost certainly get a very ugly part. For carbon mixing up resin equal to the weight of cloth seems to be at the right spot. But even my glass fibre reinforced tools contain less resin than fibres (Speaking of the weight, and excluding the tooling gelcoat). So I would say for woven glass fibre cloth, the ratio should be smaller than 1:1 (reducing resin). For kevlar it should be the other way around.
