Over the past few decades, composite materials have become increasingly prevalent in the manufacture of aerostructures. This recent trend is primarily driven by factors such as toughness performance, ...

Autoclave curing of composite structures has been such a staple of high-performance composites industry practice that it’s difficult to imagine aerospace-grade composites manufacturing without it. But ...

Autoclave cure produces composite parts of the highest quality and lowest void content. All other things being equal, it’s still the best insurance against part rejection. But today, all things aren’t ...

SHD Group is proud to introduce VTB301, an exceptionally versatile epoxy prepreg system with up to 25% bio-content. Curing can be achieved as low as 65°C while still having a room temperature shelf ...

While aerospace-derived prepreg materials for autoclave cure were regularly used within the racing and high value sectors of the industry, for composites to be cost-effective for the mass production ...
