Park Electrochemical Corp. announces E-752-LT toughened epoxy resin system for AFP processing for aerospace composite structures

Park Electrochemical Corp. announced the introduction of its new E-752-LT toughened, 350°F (177°C) cure epoxy resin system for Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) processing. E-752-LT is designed for aerospace primary and secondary structural applications and is available in standard modulus and intermediate modulus precision slit tapes and fabrics.

Park's E-752-LT has been formulated to optimize efficient processing in AFP applications for high volume manufacturing. The controlled rheology of E-752-LT has been specifically designed to facilitate a wide range of laminate processing for autoclave, out-of-autoclave and press cures with low laminate void content (capable of < 1%). The resin system offers a combination of toughness, low moisture absorption and very good mechanical properties. E-752-LT has a dry Tg of 428&deg;F (220&deg;C) and a wet Tg of 315&deg;F (157&deg;C).
