Tooling

Lewcott is pleased to offer the EP145 series of tooling composite prepregs.  Available in both glass and carbon prepregs, EP145 is capable of a low temperature cure and upon post cure, display a Tg approaching 400ºF.

EP145

EP145 is an ultra low temperature curing, high performance cost effective epoxy
system. Capable of curing at 145° F, EP145 can display a Tg exceeding 350° F when
suitably post cured. It is designed for high performance applications that require ultra
low cure temperature or co-laminating with temperature sensitive materials and is
available as a carbon and glass reinforced product configurations.

EP 145 allows high quality tooling laminates to be produced from low temperature
master molds. This low temperature process offers the user a wide range of master
mold materials. The user has the ability to use a low curing temperature/ oven or
autoclave process for initial cure. The tool laminate then may be removed from the
master mold for a free standing post cure Autoclaved tools require no surface gel
coat.

EP385

EP385 is a 350oF curing, epoxy system suitable for use in areas requiring extremely high temperature
performance. Designed for use in aerospace, transportation, propulsion, and tooling applications.
EP385 is a stable system and has very good tack and out time stability. EP385 displays a glass transition
temperature of 385oF.
