Prepreg Technical datasheets
GMS Composites Standard Prepreg Range & Technical datasheets
All standard high performance prepreg resin systems can be combined with a wide range of woven and multi-axial technical fabrics and fibres based on glass fibre, carbon fibre and aramid fibre, as well as other specialty fibres and hybrid fabrics to suit application and performance needs.
Custom design prepregs are also developed on request.
A range of resin films for vacuum moulding with technical fabrics and cores to product sandwich construction laminate parts are also available.
