Cryogenic Prepreg

Cryogenic prepregs are known for their excellent mechanical properties at extremely low temperatures. They are highly suitable for a range of specialized applications where maintaining structural integrity under cryogenic conditions is crucial.

We supply cryogenic prepregs only in fiberglass. These offer both mechanical strength and thermal resistance, making them essential for industries that demand high performance at cryogenic temperatures.

Methods of Curing

Our Prepregs are extremely convenient to work with and can be processed in a variety of methods:

  • Autoclave
  • Out of Autoclave
  • Heat-press moulding
  • Heat-shrink wrapped

Ideal curing process for our prepregs 

  • Out of Autoclave: Vacuum shouldn’t not be less than -0.085Mpa and rate of heating should be 1-3°C/minute. For ideal curing, hold for 60 minutes at 130°C. Avoid rapid cooling. The mould should be removed only after cooling to 50-60 °C
  • Autoclave:Vacuum shouldn’t not be less than -0.085Mpa, pressure should be 1-3 bar and rate of heating should be 1-3°C/minute. For ideal curing, hold for 60 minutes at 130°C. Avoid rapid cooling. The mould should be removed only after Cooling to 50-60 °C.

Shelf life and instructions

  • Pot life: <26℃ , RH<65%, 30 days Shelf life: -18℃, <12 months
  • Instructions for use:After being taken out of the cold storage, the prepreg film should be allowed to warm up for 6-12 hours at room temperature. The remaining materials after use should be sealed and put into the cold storage immediately.

Key Applications of Cryogenic Prepregs

  • Medical Devices: Utilized in medical equipment that operates in low-temperature environments, such as certain diagnostic tools or storage systems.
  • Sports Equipment: Commonly used in the production of skis, sleds, and other sports gear requiring strength and flexibility in cold climates.
  • Cryogenic Containers: Ideal for creating containers that store and transport liquid hydrogen, ammonia, nitrogen, and oxygen due to their durability and resistance to low temperatures.
  • Superconducting Structural Components: Used in the construction of superconducting parts that need to remain functional and stable in cryogenic conditions.
  • Electrical Insulation: Provides reliable insulation in electrical systems, especially in environments involving extreme cold.
