INTRODUCTION
SF 80 surfacing material is a light green or black toughened, epoxy film designed to enhance the surface finish of moulded composite components. It allows a good surface finish to be obtained by vacuum-bag moulding processes. It can be used directly against a suitably release treated mould surface, with prepreg or SPRINT™ plies laid up behind it. When fully cured with SPRINT™ or prepreg, SF 80 forms a stable tough surface which can be sanded in preparation for painting. The epoxy system is supplied ready impregnated into a supporting medium and ready catalysed, requiring only a moderate temperature cure.
