🧪 Section 1: What Is Carbon Fiber Prepreg?
Carbon fiber prepreg is a high-performance intermediate material formed by combining continuous carbon fibers with thermosetting resins (typically epoxy).
It offers:
-
Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio
-
Excellent thermal stability
-
Superior corrosion resistance
Used across:
-
Aerospace
-
Automotive
-
Sports & industrial sectors
🛠️ With precise equipment such as hot press machines, molding presses, and automated forming systems, we ensure uniform resin content, directional control, and optimized curing for every batch.
🧩 Section 2: Core Components
1. Carbon Fiber Grades
-
HS (High Strength): For lightweight structural components
-
UHS (Ultra High Strength): Ideal for military and elite sports equipment
-
IM/HM (Intermediate/High Modulus): For rigidity-critical applications
2. Resin Matrix Systems
-
Epoxy: High bond strength & thermal resistance
-
Phenolic, BMI, PI: For high-temp or chemical resistance applications
3. Additives & Fillers
-
Improve flow, thermal properties, and flame resistance (e.g., nano-silica, CNTs)
-
Enhance stability & extend product lifespan
🏭 Section 3: Production Process
Each carbon fiber prepreg sheet undergoes strict quality control throughout the production lifecycle:
Step 1: Material Preparation
✓ Fiber selection ✓ Resin prep ✓ Alignment & tension control
Step 2: Lay-up & Preforming
✓ Multi-layer stacking
✓ Preforming with high-precision forming machines
Step 3: Curing
✓ Controlled temperature (110–140°C)
✓ Curing time from 10 minutes to several hours
✓ Performed via hot press or autoclave
Step 4: Finishing
✓ Cooling & demolding
✓ Trimming, polishing, and testing
