OOA Beta Prepreg is Airtech's NEW benzoxazine Composite Tooling System that can be cured out-of-autoclave (and in the
autoclave). OOA Beta Prepreg offers long term storage at room temperature, low resin shrinkage during cure and has a high glass
transition temperature. OOA Beta Prepreg TMBG-3: Light weight prepreg for surface plies. OOA Beta Prepreg TMBG-6: Medium
weight prepreg for cauls and machined laminates. OOA Beta Prepreg TMBG-12: Heavy weight prepreg for bulk ply build ups.
Benefits:
*Reduced cost of manufacture and increased flexibility with OOA processing.
*Longer prepreg out life allows for easy shipping and less time spent shuttling material in and out freezers
and more time spent on actually fabricating the mold.
*Outstanding toughness for long life in the composite shop environment.
*Low resin shrinkage improves surface finish and reduces need for finishing.
*Low moisture absorption eliminates tool drying after storage and reduces risk of porosity in parts.
