Hi,

Af far is I've understood, the EC Woven finish CF tubes are made from Autoclave Prepreg?

What are the upper temperature limits of the Woven Finish CF tubes from EC?

I'm thinking the temperature levels where they still keep 80 - 90 % of their hoop strength?

We don't have any data from the manufacturer as yet so we are looking to get the tubes evaluated for mechanical properties in the near future.   What we do feel is that the Tg of the lacquer is likely to be much lower thus the limit if you want to keep a high quality cosmetic finish is going to be that of the lacquer.
