Kordsa (Istanbul,Turkey) has introduced CM14, a new fast-cure prepreg system for use in press-molding and designed for manufacturing large-volume, low-cost, high-quality composite parts. Kordsa says CM14 eliminates waterspot and whitespot problems, reportedly providing high visual clarity. The new resin, says the company, was designed to provide high-grade part surface quality with a visible carbon fiber look. It is said to enable prepreg use in automotive mass production.
