LTM® 16B
LTM16B tooling prepregs are low/medium temperature curing epoxy resins systems that can be post cured to produce tools with a service temperature of 200°C (392°F).
LTM16B prepregs are suitable for the manufacture of both small and large tools.
Features and Benefits
- 6 days out life at 21°C (70°F)
- 12 months storage at -18°C (0°F)
- Autoclave cure
- Mould tools directly from low temperature master
- Prepregs have excellent tack and drape
- Initial cure temperatures down to 40°C (104°F)
- Able to produce tools with low residual stress
- Unsupported (free standing) post-cure
- Low tool shrinkage matched to Solvay’s tooling block expansion during cure
- Low tool coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) matched with Solvay-supplied backing structures
- Good retention of mechanical properties up to 180°C (356°F) when fully post cured
- Long term service up to 200°C (392°F) in air
