Hi there

Hi Garry,

Our Easy-Preg and Vari-Preg systems are not low temperature cure prepregs (I would say a low temp cure prepreg is widely considered to be around 60'C); really they're reasonably typical of a medium cure temperature prepreg and are specifically designed to have long out-lives. We send the prepregs all around the world and Germany, being a near neighbour, is certainly very realistic and cost-effective for us to dispatch to. I don't know of any suppliers or manufacturers of OOA prepregs with a similar performance in Germany.

For a quicker cure cycle that will certainly yeild perfect results using our Easy-Preg Prepreg OOA Surface Layer I would suggest the following:

1hr @ 50'C
1hr @ 60'C
1hr @ 70'C
1hr @ 120'C -- > Cool to ambient.

This is a 4hr cure cycle which will give you flawless, pin-hole free results and achieve a cured laminate Tg of 120'C too. You will of course need tools that can take (and have been prepared for) 120'C.

I hope this helps, all the best,

Matt
