Application Areas

01

PFA

PS200

DOWNLOAD DATA SHEET
A multi-purpose component PFA prepreg system able to withstand limited time excursions and abuse temperatures up to 1200°C. Formulated and optimised for multiple fire containment applications, PS200 is an industry leading green technology in battery box structures where thermal runaways can occur. PS200 is suitable for use in the most challenging thermal environments and meets aero industry fire protection and insulation standards ISO 2685 and AC 20-135, Revised 1990.

FR308

DOWNLOAD DATA SHEET
Sustainable solution, FR308 is highly flame retardant with exceptional Flame, Smoke and Toxicity (FST) and heat release rate (HRR) performance and has been designed and optimised for use in the rail, aerospace, and construction sectors. The PFA system is compliant with CS 25.853 and EN45545-1 to HL3. Depending on application, FR308 offers a cost effective, more environmentally friendly alternative to phenolic and FR epoxy systems.
02

Bio-Content Epoxy

LTB310-1

DOWNLOAD DATA SHEET
This 30% bio derived tooling system allows for a cure temperature from 45°C to 70°C with a potential maximum service temperature of 200°C. As expected of a tooling system, low CTE and shrinkage values are combined with exceptional handling characteristics entirely in line with fully oil-based systems.

MTB350

DOWNLOAD DATA SHEET
Designed for users making a conscious decision to opt for a greener alternative for performance component applications. Service temperatures of up to 140°C with handling characteristics and viscosity profile optimized for natural fibres reinforcements. A 6-month out life at room temperature further elevates this system’s green credentials whilst also reducing associated frozen storage and shipment costs.
