Composites Evolution launches new Evopreg EPT tooling prepreg systems
Composites Evolution has announced the launch of two new epoxy tooling prepregs.
The first of these, Evopreg EPT120, has been designed to help composite tooling manufacturers improve the flexibility and efficiency of their tooling manufacturing processes, by providing a combination of extended outlife and variable curing cycles.
“The 21-day outlife of Evopreg EPT120 prepregs makes them ideally suited to the production of larger, more complex tools, or to the batch production of multiple smaller tools, ahead of a single (e.g. weekly) scheduled cure,” stated company sales & marketing director, Ben Hargreaves. “But that’s not all. For applications where rapid turnaround is critical, EPT120 prepregs can be fully cured in under six hours, in a single-shot ramped cure.
“Evopreg EPT110 is our new low temperature cure, high temperature performance epoxy tooling prepreg, allowing moulders to create tools with exceptional surface finish and high dimensional stability.”

Editor's comment: Weather with you
My work office feels unusually cold. As I type this, the BBC weather says it’s 10˚C outside. Hmm, is that typical for the end of April? Anyway, our landlord has deemed that with Spring now in the air, it’s time to turn off the heating and save money. This presents a challenge typing when I can’t feel my fingers.
