Panex® 35 Prepreg Tapes
Medium-to-High Areal Weight Carbon Fiber Prepregs for High-Volume Applications
Description
Zoltek produces uni-directional (UD) prepreg
tapes based on Panex carbon fiber. Zoltek
prepreg is ideal for large-volume composite
applications where high production throughput,
excellent composite properties, and low material
cost are important. A wide selection of epoxy
resin formulations meets most processing and
composite property requirements for tack,
toughness, flow in cure, surface finish, curetime,
cure temperature, and delivered composite
strength and modulus. Custom formulations are
also available. Zoltek prepreg properties, such as
fiber areal weight (FAW), resin content, and
width, are readily adjusted to exactly meet
customer requirements.
Packaging options
include core size, interleaf type (paper and/or
poly film) and number (one side or two), and
custom labeling. Zoltek prepreg production is
geared to large volumes and low cost. Special
projects are welcomed.
