Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Ultra-Lightweight Design: At only 100 g/m², this unidirectional tape significantly reduces overall component weight, enabling fuel efficiency and enhanced performance in aerospace, automotive, and marine applications.
- 200°C Curing Cycle: Optimized for a curing temperature of 200°C, the resin system provides excellent flow and wet-out, ensuring uniform fiber impregnation and void-free laminates.
- PC/Carbon Resin System: The specially formulated polycarbonate/carbon hybrid resin offers a balance of toughness, thermal stability, and chemical resistance, suitable for moderate-temperature service environments.
- Unidirectional Fiber Orientation: All carbon fibers are aligned in a single direction, maximizing tensile strength and stiffness along the tape axis, ideal for structural reinforcement and repair patches.
- Consistent Thickness: The tape is manufactured with tight thickness tolerances, typically ranging from 0.10mm to 0.15mm, ensuring predictable lay-up and mechanical performance.
- Excellent Tack & Drape: The prepreg exhibits good tackiness for easy hand lay-up or automated tape placement, and conforms to complex contours without wrinkling.
- Customizable Width: Available in standard widths from 6mm to 300mm, with custom slitting options to meet specific project requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What does “PC/Carbon” mean in the product name?
A: PC/Carbon refers to a hybrid resin system that combines polycarbonate (PC) with carbon-based components. This formulation provides enhanced toughness and thermal stability while maintaining compatibility with carbon fiber reinforcement. -
Q: Can this prepreg tape be used with out-of-autoclave curing?
A: Yes, the 200°C curing cycle can be performed in a standard oven with vacuum bagging, provided the temperature uniformity meets the recommended profile. However, for optimal mechanical properties, autoclave curing is recommended. Please consult our technical team for detailed cure cycles. -
Q: What is the shelf life of the tape, and how should it be stored?
A: The standard shelf life is 12 months when stored at -18°C (freezer). At ambient temperature (25°C), the out-life is approximately 30 days. Always keep the product sealed in its original packaging to prevent moisture absorption. -
Q: Is the tape available in different widths?
A: Yes, we offer custom slitting services. Standard widths include 6mm, 12mm, 25mm, 50mm, 100mm, and 300mm. Minimum order quantities may apply for non-standard widths. -
Q: Can this product be used for structural repairs in aerospace?
A: The tape is suitable for secondary structural repairs and non-critical components. For primary structural applications, we recommend conducting full qualification testing per your specific standards. Our technical data sheet provides typical mechanical properties for reference. -
Q: Do you provide samples for testing?
A: Yes, we offer sample rolls (typically 1 meter length) for evaluation. Please contact our sales team with your application details and we will arrange a sample shipment. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for bulk production?
A: The MOQ is 10 kg for standard widths. For custom widths or special resin formulations, the MOQ may be higher. Please inquire for exact pricing and availability. -
Q: How does this tape compare to standard 200 g/m² prepregs?
A: The 100 g/m² areal weight offers a 50% weight reduction per layer, allowing thinner laminates with fine ply control. This is particularly beneficial for building up complex shapes with minimal added weight, though you may need more layers to achieve the same thickness as heavier prepregs.
