Pre-preg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pre-preg is a term for "pre-impregnated" composite fibres. These usually take the form of a weave or are uni-directional. They already contain an amount of the matrix material used to bond them together and to other components during manufacture. The pre-preg are mostly stored in cooled areas since activation is most commonly done by heat. Hence, composite structures build of pre-pregs will mostly require an oven or autoclave to cure out.
