Availability Uk/eu

MTB350 is a unique epoxy resin system with 30% bio content derived from a renewable source. It has an outstanding shelf life at room temperature and is designed to cure between 120°C (248°F) and 140°C (284°F), allowing flexibility in component manufacture. MTB350 is a toughened epoxy resin system designed for component manufacturing and can be supplied in a variety of fabric and UD formats. It's inherent low viscosity allows for improved impregnation on natural fibre reinforcements. MTB350 can be stored and transported at ambient temperatures without detriment to the product potentially removing the requirement for cold storage.

Technical Guidance Information

This material should be kept frozen at -18°C (0°F). It must be kept sealed in a polythene bag which must not be opened until fully thawed to room temperature. If the material is not fully used, then the material must be resealed in the polythene bag to prevent moisture absorption.

This material contains epoxy resin which can cause allergic reactions with skin contact and must avoid repeated and prolonged skin contact.

Please refer to the product Safety Data Sheet before using this material. The following precautions must be taken when using epoxy resin prepregs:

Overalls must be worn
Impervious gloves must be worn
Curing schedule is meant to be as a guide only and is subject to local conditions
To avoid exotherm, particular care must be taken with thick laminates
Ramp rates must not exceed 3.0°C (5.4°F)/min during initial cure and 0.3°C (0.5°F)/min during post cure
