INTRODUCTION
SC 110(T2) is a visual grade prepreg that utilises a high clarity, versatile, hot-melt epoxy resin formulation.
The unique formulation ensures that no white-wash or spots are evident in the cured resin. It is ideal for manufacturing high
visual quality components using autoclave and press moulding. It can be cured at temperatures as low as 80 C (175 F), or it can
be used for faster moulding of components at 120 C (250 F). An even
faster cure of 20 minutes at 150 C (300 F) can also be achieved using
the appropriate moulding technology. This is achieved whilst
maintaining a good out-life of up to 3 weeks at 21 C (70 F). SC 110(T2)
is a toughened system and offers excellent mechanical properties on a
wide variety of reinforcing fabrics and fibres.
During the development of SC 110(T2), extensive beta testing has been
conducted to manufacture the most challenging visual components in
order to demonstrate the robustness of the unique resin formulation.
Tight curvature, resin rich seams and numerous components have been
produced through autoclave moulding processes without any sign of
white wash or spots.
SC 110(T2) is suitable for interior and exterior automotive, marine and
other markets where a high clarity finish is required.

All prepreg materials should be stored in a freezer when not in
use to maximise their useable life, since the low temperature
reduces the reaction of resin and catalyst to virtually zero.
However, even at -18 C (0 F), the temperature of most freezers,
some reaction will still occur. In most cases after some years,
the material will become unworkable.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
