The SE 85GT series are toughened hot-melt, epoxy prepregs that offer an extremely good balance of mechanical
properties. They are ideal for structural components where improved impact performance and resistance to resin
microcracking is desired. SE 85GT can be cured at 80°C (176°F), yet remains an outlife of up to 56 days at 23°C (73°F).
With its ¾ hour cure at 120°C (248°F), it is also suitable for quick manufacture of parts, and is also used in the
development of trial components.
SE 85GT has medium flow characteristics, so that heavy
reinforcements can be easily wet out, and good consolidation can be
achieved in very thick (>25mm) laminates, under just vacuum bag
pressures. Its flow behaviour also means that it can produce excellent
surface finishes when used in pressure-moulded components.
SE 85GTBL is a black pigmented variant, often used in carbon fabrics
to provide an excellent deep black gloss finish on the outer surface of
carbon components such as yacht spars and race car parts.
SE 85GT system can equally be used in sandwich structures with
honeycomb and foam cores. In this application, depending on resin
content, it can be used in a self-adhesive mode, although it is more
commonly used in conjunction with the toughened SA 80 Adhesive Film
(See separate datasheet).
