Prepreg applications are on the rise in the composites industry as manufacturers in a variety of industries increasingly adopt this versatile material. Today, prepregs find use in commercial aerospace, military/defense, general aviation, space/satellite, marine, sporting goods, automotive, civil engineering, wind energy and transportation markets, and more. Prepreg materials offer a number of advantages, compared to the metals that they are typically targeted to replace: higher specific stiffness and specific strength, greater corrosion resistance and faster manufacturing. Composite products made with prepreg materials can provide a higher fiber volume fraction than products made by other processes, such as filament winding or pultrusion. In addition, prepregs offer an extensive range of resin and fiber combinations, enabling the user to maximize performance.
