PS200 is a highly flame-retardant bio-derived prepreg resin system designed for use in heat and flame shielding applications. Typically used in non-structural or semi-structural components, the properties of PS200 can be tailored to provide unique service performance characteristics across a wide range of temperatures. It can be supplied on a variety of reinforcement types and the resin system colour is dark brown / black.

Why choose this material

Derived from a bio-based waste feedstock with expectional FST characteristics, PS200 is ideal for applications exposed to extreme abuse temperatures such as battery boxes in thermal runaway events. A phenolic replacement system with none of the traditional risk phrases associated with phenolics.

Supplied with SHD's renowned service, including:

  • Short two-week lead times and low MOQs

  • Exceptional product quality

  • First class technical support

  • Excellent customer service

Technical Guidance Information

01

Storage and Out Life

This material should be kept frozen at -18°C (0°F) for a maximum storage life. If kept refrigerated at 6°C storage life will be reduced to 2 months. 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.

02

Health and Safety

Please refer to the product Safety Data Sheet before using this material.

The following precautions must be taken when using PFA resin prepregs:

  • Impervious gloves are recommended

  • 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 1.0°C (2°F)/min during post cure

Frequently Asked Questions

01

What prepreg is suitable for battery fire protection?

PS200 is designed for heat and flame shielding, including battery boxes exposed to thermal runaway. Its strong fire, smoke and toxicity performance makes it suitable for protecting surrounding structures from extreme heat. 

02

Is there a bio-based alternative to phenolic prepreg?

Yes. PS200 is made from 99% bio-based waste feedstock and is designed as a phenolic replacement. It provides strong flame resistance without the traditional hazard warnings often linked with phenolic resin systems. 

03

What prepreg is suitable for heat shields and flame barriers?

PS200 is designed specifically for heat and flame shielding. It can be used in non-structural or semi-structural parts where protection from extreme temperatures and fire is more important than carrying heavy loads. 

04

Can PS200 be used in automotive and aerospace applications?

Yes. PS200 is suitable for demanding sectors including automotive, aerospace, defence and motorsport, particularly where parts need protection from high heat, flames or extreme temperature events. 

05

Can flame-resistant prepreg be supplied with different fibre types?

Yes. PS200 can be supplied on a variety of reinforcement types, allowing the material to be tailored to different applications, performance needs and manufacturing methods.
