SE 200 is a high strength structural carbon prepreg based on a toughened epoxy system. It has a flexible cure envelope ranging from 135°C to 200°C. SE 200 has been developed to enable rapid part manufacture through a number of composite processing methods. The minimum cure temperature is 135°C from which SE 200 develops Tg and strength properties at a level associated with high temperature 195°C curing systems.

Higher temperature cures in excess of 180°C will achieve the best dry and wet thermal performance. Using the appropriate press moulding technology it is possible to achieve a 15 minutes hot-in / hot-out cure at 195°C, making SE 200 suitable for the economic production of automotive parts.
 
SE 200 Structural Carbon Epoxy Prepreg can be used in the making of parts such as structural lower tubs, bulkheads, front and rear scuttles, exhaust tunnels and other structural components. 
 
SE 300 High Tg Prepreg
High temperature stability with Superior flame retardant properties and Aerospace grade FST standards.
 
SE 300 is an ideal prepreg for high temperature composite applications, as it combines the ease of processing and handling convenience of epoxy resins, high temperature stability of polyimides, and flame / fire resistance of phenolics. A 120°C cure for 75 minutes combined with a post-cure, enables SE 300 to generate a Tg in excess of 300°C, making SE 300 ideal for applications in composite structures, which are exposed to very high temperatures for short durations. The flame and smoke characteristics of  SE 300 composites show that this resin possesses superior flame retardant properties and holds a wide range of Aerospace grade FST (Fire/Smoke/Toxicity) standards.
