Availability All sites

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.

Technical Guidance Information

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.

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
