Developed as part of our ongoing sustainability philosophy - to look at the impact of our prepreg materials from every angle - RP5365 is a structural component epoxy prepreg, formulated to achieve an extended ambient outlife time of 1 year, reducing or eliminating the necessity of freezing or refrigerated long-term storage and transportation.
The excellent surface level tack of this system is provided throughout its lifespan making it ideal for both large structural components as well as complex geometries.
Main features
• Long Ambient Outlife: 365 days at 20°C
• Controlled flow at High Temperature
• Excellent surface finish
• Standard Cure: 2 hours at 130°C
• Tg (DSC) Onset: 146.1°C, Mid: 148.6°C, End: 151.0°C
• Available on most of PRF’s reinforcement fabrics
The sustainability gains offered by this material are numerous:
🔹 Reduced need for cold storage facilities, translating into:
• Lower energy consumption
• Reduced fluorocarbon emissions
• Overall energy cost savings
🔹 Less (or even no) need for refrigerated transportation, depending on exposure temperatures
🔹 Improved performance in hotter climates, where standard prepregs often have very limited out life
🔹 Enables new adopters to begin working with prepreg materials without upfront investment in freezer storage
The result? Lower costs. Lower carbon footprint. Greater flexibility.
