I am researching the most economical way for us to source carbon fiber pre-preg for our prototyping shop. I was wondering if there are any cross-compatibility issues I need to be aware of when it comes to laminating prepregs from multiple suppliers. Specifically, I want to cure UF3325 TCR™ RESIN from Composite Envisions with Easy Composites' XPreg XC110 Resin. Is there an easy way to tell if these epoxies are compatible?

Thanks,

Nathan

As others have said sucking and see
Most will work together no problem
At the moment am doing some f1 pod fronts
6 different materials (1 glass 5 carbon)
Woven an ud 
4 different weaves
3 different resin systems
Works fine

Very interesting. Why are you having to use different resin systems (apart from because of glass and carbon)?

Most teams can't get all their materials from one supplier

That an young composite designers like to appear really clever an inventive an make it as complicated as possible
Lot to be said for KISS
but no we have a part with flat tow,u/d,glass,satin weave an 2x2 twill all for a bit of bodywork !

Its all about making it as complicated and expensive in f1 lol.
