Beta Prepreg Tooling, based on Henkel's Benzoxazine Resin Technology

March 24, 2010: Airtech is proud to introduce its latest development in composite tooling:

Beta Prepreg, based on Henkel’s Benzoxazine Resin technology is a unique room temperature storage tooling prepreg, which delivers superior laminate properties to conventional epoxy systems. Beta Prepreg tooling is based on Benzoxazine resin chemistry.

Beta Prepreg systems take advantage of the latest resin and latest toughening technology to provide outstanding ease of use and performance. Beta Prepreg tooling is stable for a minimum of six months at room temperature. Beta Prepreg has an exceptional low resin shrinkage during cure and develops a very high glass transition temperature, benefiting users with reduced logistical costs, more flexible workshop scheduling and extended tool life.

Features and Benefits:

Exceptionally long out-life allows virtually limit free tool fabrication time. Customers benefit from increased work crew flexibility and can work around scheduling conflicts. Larger structures are possible with smaller work crews.

Excellent post machining quality of Beta Prepreg laminates allows machining of complex geometry details and maintenance of very tight dimensional tolerances. The ability to modify tool surfaces following engineering change reduces cost of new tool manufacture.

The outstanding toughness, high glass transition temperature and stability at high temperature ensure long tool life, reducing the cost of remanufacture and rework through product life.

Exceptionally low shrinkage improves tool surface quality and reduced need for part finishing. Low shrinkage also reduces residually laminate stresses.  Very low moisture absorption in comparison to epoxy systems makes Beta Prepreg a perfect tooling choice for moisture sensitive component resin systems.
