Gurit, manufacturer of advanced composite materials, has announced the selection of its carbon prepregs by two major car manufacturers. The carbon prepregs are now being used by car manufacturers’ tier-1 suppliers for exterior and interior visual carbon programmes.

Its visual carbon prepregs SC 110 and SC 160 are characterised by clarity, and faster manufacturing time. Both prepregs have passed the respective environmental original equipment manufacturer (OEM) tests successfully showing outstanding product properties and surface quality.

Gurit’s patented resin system allows for the production of white spot-free parts. This enables increased production output as well as a major reduction in scrapped parts when compared to current materials on the market. In addition, SC 160 allows for paint processes at elevated temperatures. (NA)
