Prepregged Carbon Fiber
Prepregs, short for "pre-impregnated" fibers or fabrics, are composite materials where reinforcement fibers are pre-impregnated with a precisely measured amount of resin or matrix material. This meticulous preparation ensures an evenly distributed resin content, optimizing the material's properties and handling characteristics. Commonly used in aerospace, automotive, and sports industries, prepregs offer controlled curing schedules, allowing manufacturers to tailor the material's performance by adjusting factors like temperature and pressure during the curing process.
