FAQ Questions
What type of resin is used in HiWood PA Prepreg?
This product uses polyamide (PA) resin, a type of thermoplastic resin. Polyamides offer good mechanical strength, wear resistance, and flexibility, particularly under dynamic loads.
Is the epoxy used in HiWood Epoxy Prepreg bio-based?
We are continuing to test bio-based epoxies to ensure a sustainable product lifecycle without sacrificing composite performance. If you'd like to learn more about our bio-based epoxies, please reach out here.
What are the processing conditions for HiWood Thermoplastic (PA) Prepreg,
Epoxy Prepreg, and Fast Cure Epoxy Prepreg - at 83 g/m²?
HiWood Thermoplastic (PA) Prepreg: 130° C
Epoxy Prepreg: 150° C, 30 min or 120° C, 60 min
Fast Cure Epoxy Prepreg: 150° C, 10 min or 130° C, 20 min
Have HiWood products been tested against other conventional
and natural composite reinforcement materials?
