HMT504 is specifically designed for pressure vessel applications and is well suited for fiber placement. Easy handling, versatile processing, and excellent mechanical properties make HMT504 suitable for a variety of applications in sporting goods, marine, medical, industrial manufacturing, Long out time also makes Newport-FTP® HMT504 ideal for large scale parts where a layup process can take days or weeks. HMT504 can be supplied with most commercially available fibers, including carbon, quartz, aramid, S-glass, E-glass and other specialty fibers. Recommended processing conditions HMT504 can be cured at temperatures from 230°-300°F (110°-149°C) depending on part size and complexity. Low, medium, and high pressure molding techniques may be used to cure HMT504 product. Recommended cure cycle is 50–100psi (345–690kPa), 3°F/min (1.7°C/min) ramp to 180°F (82°C), dwell for 30-60 min, ramp to 275°F (135°C), hold for 90- 120 min, cool to <140°F (<60°C).
