Unit of measure (MOQ): 1 Yard – .0082” thick x 12” wide x 1 Yard Long
Description: 250 degree cure unidirectional Graphite tape is an epoxy pre-impregnated fiber that is manufactured with all fibers laid in one direction. This unidirectional material is designed for its stiffness and provides excellent strength to weight ratio. The unidirectional direction of the fibers allows the user to control the stiffness along the direction of the fiber to maximize strength. When using a balanced layup this material with provide the user the option of controlling part warpage with the design of the ply orientation.
Application: To start the application process, you must first allow the material to reach room temperature. Be sure the parts to be bonded have been thoroughly cleaned and dried. Cut graphite pre-preg to the dimensions needed. Remove the backing paper and apply to the material to be bonded. Start form the center and work out making sure to remove any air bubbles in the material. Complete assembly being careful not to trap any air in between additional plies. The panel can be cured in a press, vacuum bag in an oven, or an autoclave. Uncured material can easily be removed with a solvent.
Cure Time: Minimum 120 minutes at 250 +/- 15degrees, heat up rate 5 deg per minute.
Storage: Recommended 2 year when stored at or below zero.
Handling Precautions: Always completely read the MSDS prior to use.
