aramid fiberepoxy resin

117-1 can be supplied with most commercially available fibers (carbon, quartz, aramid, S-glass, E-glass, etc.) in both woven form (designated as NB) as well as unidirectional tape (designated as NCT). Woven fabrics are available in standard commercial widths up to 60 inches (1.5 m). Unitape widths up to 39 inches (1 m) are available in standard fiber weights ranging from 70-300 gsm (0.014-0.060 psf). 117-1 can be cured at temperatures from 250-300°F (121-149°C), depending on part size and complexity. Low, medium, and high pressure molding techniques may be used for curing. Recommended cure cycle is 45 psi (310 kPa), 3°F (1.7°C)/min ramp to 260°F (127°C), hold for 90 minutes, cool to <140°F (60°C). OOA Cure Cycle 117-1 can be cured out-of-autoclave with a vacuum bag and the following cure cycle. Ramp at 3°F (1.7°C)/min from RT to 265°F (130°C), hold for 90min at 265°F (130°C), cool below 140°F (70°C)
