A low-temperature prepreg for fast tooling
LTM 350 (photo) is a next-generation carbon-fiber-epoxy, prepreg-tooling material designed to deliver significant time and cost savings for the industrial, aerospace, automotive and race car markets. The carbon-fiber epoxy tooling material offers an industry leading, fast, low-temperature cure cycle (3 h at 60°C) and can also be cured at temperatures as low as 45°C with an extended post-cure. Tools built from LTM 350 can be continuously cycled at temperatures up to 150°C, delivering highly accurate composite parts. As a low-temperature prepreg with user-friendly tack, drape and handling, LTM 350 was designed to enable the shortest possible lay-up times while providing the highest-quality surface finish. — Solvay S.A., Brussels, Belgium
