E-752-LT Epoxy Prepreg Product Overview Park s E 752 LT is a toughened; 350 F (177 C) cure epoxy resin system with 315 F (157 C) wet Tg for primary and secondary structural applications. E 752 LT is formulated for efficient processing in high volume Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) applications manufacturing. The resin system offers a combination of toughness, low moisture uptake and good mechanical properties. E 752 LT is formulated to laminate In Autoclave (AC), Out of Autoclave (OOA) and Press cure conditions. Key Features & Benefits Toughened epoxy for primary and secondary aerospace structures Specifically designed for efficient AFP processing Controlled flow rheology specifically designed to facilitate a wide range of processing for AC, OOA and Press cures Processes in OOA without the need for extensive bagging and pre vacuum procedures Wet DMA Tg of 315 F (157 C) Dry DMA Tg of 428 F (220 C) Capable of low laminate void content < 1% Product Forms Applications / Qualifications Primary and Secondary Aerospace Structures fabricated with AFP processes Wings / Control Surfaces / Airframes Turbofan Engine Components Nacelles/ Fan Reversers Air Ducting Fairings Global Availability For information about Park s materials: Americas +1 316 283 6500 Asia Pacific +65 6861 7117 Europe +33 5 62 98 52 90 Web Email www.parkelectro.com info@parkelectro.com Available AFP product forms o 0.125 +/ 0.005 (3.18 mm +/ 0.13 mm) o 0.250 +/ 0.005 (6.35 mm +/ 0.13 mm) Unidirectional (UD) Tape up to 48 (1.2 m) width Woven fabric prepreg up to 60 (1.5 m) width Page 1 of 6 Rev. 02 13 15
