1 RM-3002 BISMALEIMIDE (BMI) PREPREG FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE AEROSPACE APPLICATIONS

2 RM-3002 Bismaleimide (BMI) Prepreg Product Information Developed using state-of-the-art formulating technologies, RM-3002 BMI prepreg products deliver superior hot/wet performance in airframe, missile and propulsion applications at service temperatures up to 400 F (204 C). RM-3002 next-generation BMI delivers improved damage tolerance at higher temperatures vs. industry-standard BMI s. Renegade precision-quality prepregs exhibit excellent handling characteristics and are available in woven and unidirectional form on various fibers including carbon, quartz and S2 glass. A wide variety of nano-materials can be incorporated into this resin system for tailored laminate properties and multi-functional performance. Renegade offers Paste (RM and RM-3007) and Film (RM-3011) Adhesives compatible with RM Renegade also offers similar resin systems for RTM (RM-3000) or VARTM (RM-3010) processing.

7 Renegade Recommended Bagging Scheme for RM-3002 Equivalent Materials can be used. 1 - Any steel material capable of withstanding cure conditions; 1/8 inch (0.32cm) minimum thickness. 2 - The amount of bleeders plies to use depends upon the target resin content. Bleeders can be placed on both sides of the laminate or just on the top. 3 - Any steel material capable of withstanding cure conditions; 1/8 inch (0.32cm) minimum thickness, cut to the same dimensions as prepreg stack-up (do not over-hang edges of lamina). 4 - Use any sealant tape capable of withstanding cure conditions making sure to cover with a suitable release film so that there is no transfer to the breather. 5 - Optional breather strings can be placed in the corners of the laminate going under the dams and making contact with the breather material. 6 - Use any glass breather that will withstand the cure conditions and use enough material to allow a breath path from vacuum ports, monitors, and parts. 7 - Use any vacuum bagging film that will withstand the cure conditions. 8 Tape down all the bleeders, porous and non-porous PTFE coated fiberglass release film, and all the way around the edge of the part so that no resin is able to flow out except through the breather strings.
