Do you or can you supply UD prepreg and if so what variety of cloth is available? If not do you know if it may be available from other suppliers?

I already use your UD for carbon road frame fabrication but wanted to begin curing at higher temperature to increase performance (reduce weight/ increase stiffness). 

If my options are limited to infusing the cloth myself, which resin do you suggest for curing at 80 - 100 oC?

Many thanks.

Unfortunately we do not currently stock a UD carbon pre-preg material.

Hi,

It's too bad you don't offer UD prepreg, it limits the possibilities when making complex parts.
Do you have any plans to stock UD prepreg in the future? If not, why?
Would it be a problem to mix Vari-preg with a UD prepreg from a different resin system ?

Thanks!

We are currently working on expanding our range of pre-pregs later this year so it may be something we consider then.

We haven't had a UD pre-preg up until now as there hasn't been significant enough demand to make it financially viable to stock the large quantities we would need to get a good retail price and sell it within it's expiry date.



In terms of mixing different pre-preg types, without testing it would be impossible to say for sure if the materials would cure properly with a high quality inter-laminar bond strength.
