PrePreg Process
The final prepreg product is a thin tape
consisting of continuous and aligned fibers
embedded in a partially cured resin
Prepared for packaging by winding onto a
cardboard core.
Typical tape thicknesses range between 0.08
and 0.25
mm
Tape widths range between 25 and 1525 mm.
Resin content lies between about 35 and 45 vol
%
Prepreg forming
Advantages:
orientation of fibers can be changed
consistent
high productivity
Disadvantages:
continuous process needs more
customers
limited shelf life
delamination

Process
Vacuum bagging
Advantages:
simple design
any fiber/matrix combination
ok with cheap mold material
better quality for the cost
Disadvantages:

Filament winding
Filament winding
Filament winding
Advantages:
using existing textile processes.
quick, easy to handle package.
parts can have huge size.
Disadvantages:
spinning speed is limited due to resin
penetration and splashing, traveler speed
and yarn breakage.
curing by heat is not easy to apply.
shape of the products limited (only
cylindrical possible).
