Product Spotlights
Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory (established in 1998) is a professional manufacturer with over two decades of experience in advanced materials. Our Carbon Fiber Prepreg for Automotive Body Panels combines high-strength carbon fiber with premium epoxy resin, offering a 1.2m width and 200g/m² areal weight. This prepreg is engineered to deliver exceptional lightweight performance, superior stiffness, and impact resistance for automotive body panels, helping manufacturers reduce vehicle weight, improve fuel efficiency, and meet modern design demands. Backed by an annual export value of US$5–10 million, our products are trusted by clients across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond.
Product Features & Advantages
- High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Our carbon fiber prepreg delivers tensile strength up to 3,500 MPa, making it ideal for structural automotive panels that require both rigidity and weight savings.
- Consistent 200g/m² Areal Weight: Uniform fiber distribution ensures predictable mechanical properties and easy layup during manufacturing.
- Wide 1.2m Width: Reduces the number of splices needed for large body panels, saving labor and material waste.
- Excellent Surface Finish: The epoxy resin system provides a smooth, void-free surface that can be painted or left exposed for a premium carbon look.
- Customizable Resin Formulation: Available with different curing temperatures (120°C–180°C) and tack levels to match your molding process (press, autoclave, or vacuum bag).
- Long Shelf Life: Properly stored at -18°C, the prepreg maintains its properties for up to 6 months, with a room-temperature life of 2–4 weeks.
- Environmentally Friendly: Low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions during curing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the recommended storage condition for this prepreg?
A: Store at -18°C in a sealed bag to prevent moisture absorption. At this temperature, the prepreg has a shelf life of 6 months. For short-term use, it can be kept at room temperature (25°C) for up to 2 weeks.
Q2: Can you customize the areal weight or width?
A: Yes, we offer areal weights from 100 g/m² to 400 g/m² and widths from 0.6m to 1.5m. Contact our sales team for custom specifications.
Q3: What curing methods are compatible with this prepreg?
A: Our prepreg works with press molding, autoclave, vacuum bagging, and oven curing. The resin system is optimized for low-pressure processes as well.
Q4: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: The MOQ is 100 square meters for standard specifications. Smaller trial orders are available upon request.
Q5: Is the prepreg tacky at room temperature?
A: Yes, it has a moderate tack level suitable for hand layup and automated fiber placement. Tack can be adjusted per your process requirements.
Q6: How is the prepreg packaged for shipping?
A: The prepreg is interleaved with release film, rolled on a cardboard core, and sealed in a moisture-proof aluminum bag. Rolls are packed in reinforced cartons or wooden crates for export.
Q7: Do you provide technical support for first-time users?
A: Absolutely. Our engineers can offer guidance on layup, debulking, and curing parameters. We also provide material data sheets and processing instructions.
Q8: What are the typical lead times?
A: For standard products, lead time is 15–20 working days. Custom orders require 25–30 working days. Rush orders are possible with prior arrangement.
