TECHNICAL DATA SHEET APC (PEKK-FC) PEKK-FC THERMOPLASTIC POLYMER PREPREG

Transcription

1 Solvay s composites consist of a thermoplastic matrix of poly (ether-ketone-ketone) commonly referred to as PEKK-FC polymer with aligned, continuous unidirectional fiber reinforcement. The tapes are fully impregnated with a tailored fiber-matrix interface for optimal performance. Solvay also supplies custom laminates made from the tapes. The polymer is semi-crystalline with a glass transition temperature of 318 F (159 C). composites possess outstanding flame, smoke, and toxicity performance. They also have high toughness and damage tolerance. Laminates and parts can be fabricated from using a wide range of techniques including autoclave and press molding. Typical applications for Solvay s include aircraft structure, space components, and other transportation & structural engineering components. Features and Benefits Semi-crystalline, thermoplastic matrix Fully impregnated, unidirectional tape High toughness and damage tolerance Structural properties Tg of 318 F (159 C) Low moisture uptake ( <0.3 % by wt. 1 ) Manufacture parts using affordable non-autoclave processes Outstanding FST 2 and OSU 3 heat release properties Good resistance to a wide range of fluid environments Indefinite shelf life at room temperature Recyclable 1 Equilibrium, 85% Relative Humidity, 160 F (71 C) 2 FST: Flame, Smoke, and Toxicity 3 OSU: Ohio State University RESIN CHARACTERISTICS Table 1 Nominal Neat Resin Properties of DMA Tg dry, F ( C) 318 (159) Density, pcf (g/cc) 81.8 (1.31) (%crystalline = 30%) 79.9(1.28) (%crystalline = 0%) Melting Temperature, Tm, F ( C) 639 (337) Tensile Strength at Tensile Modulus at Tensile Elongation at % Thermal Heat of Fusion With 100% Crystalline 14.8 (102) 0.65 (4.5) 4 THERMOPLASTIC POLYMER PREPREG

4 Typical Autoclave Consolidation Cycle 20 Figure 1 Consolidation Cycle Apply minimum 24 inches (610 mm) Hg vacuum to bagged assembly and maintain throughout the entire cycle. Heat from RT,, to 710 F ± 10 F (377 C ± 5.5 C) at any available rate based on part temperature. Ensure material/laminate is equilibrated at process temperature using lagging thermocouple. Apply 100 psi ± 5 psi (689 kpa ± 34 kpa) autoclave pressure when temperature reaches 710 F (377 C). Hold at to 710 F (377 C) for /-5 minutes. Cool down at a rate of 20 F/min (11 C/min). Maintain pressure until below. * Time at temperature is based on lagging thermocouple ** Press consolidation cycle may vary depending on equipment parameters THERMOPLASTIC POLYMER PREPREG

5 Lay-Up/ Bagging PRODUCT HANDLING Figure 2 Recommended Vacuum Bag Scheme Solvay recommends the wearing of clean, impervious gloves when working with prepreg materials in order to reduce skin contact and to avoid contamination of the product. See the Safety Data Sheet for more information. SHIPPING APC(PEKK-FC) is typically shipped as rolls in containers at ambient temperature.standard roll form is 12 inches wide (30.5 cm) and approximately 600 linear feet (182 meter).
