Web site to buy carbon fibre tube, sheet and materials announces line of pre-preg materials aimed at small scale manufacturers.

Carbonology.com, a web site to buy carbon fibre tube, sheet and materials, has announced a line of pre-preg materials They are aimed at small scale manufacturers making batches of specialised parts who need to buy small amounts of pre-preg when needed quickly

A roll takes up a large amount of freezer space and needs to be kept dry frozen when not in use.

Many main suppliers have a minimum order of around 50m2 and long lead times, which can lead to having a lot of valuable material in stock.

On top of this, the most commonly used and desirable materials are in short supply.

Carbonology.com has commissioned its own pre-preg from a main supplier so its customers can buy short lengths of carbon fibre pre-preg, including the (3k) 200gsm twill fabrics, available next day if ordered before noon.

The standard roll sizes are 5 and 10m2.

The resin system C115 is a toughened system for vacuum bag processing, which has a minimum cure temp of 115C and is fire retardant.

Resin weight is 40%.

Tests show it is co-curable with the other main brands of pre-preg.

Steve Greaves, Sales and Marketing Director at Carbonology.com, said: "The ethos behind Carbonology.com has always been to give our customers the sizes that they want, and within a reasonable time scale".

"We are very happy that we can now extend this service to include pre-preg reinforcements and especially 200g carbon fibre fabric".
