Prepreg Materials<br />
Pre-impregnated materials (prepregs) are reinforcement fibres or fabrics into which a pre-catalysed<br />
resin system has been impregnated by a machine. The resin systems in these materials react only very<br />
slowly at room temperature, giving rise to working times of many days to several months. The prepreg<br />
resins can only be fully cured by heating them to the prescribed cure temperature. The accuracy of the<br />
machinery used to combine the fabric or fibre with the resin system ensures that laminates produced<br />
from prepregs have more consistent and higher fibre contents than can be achieved by wet lay-up<br />
techniques. Furthermore, this technology allows the use of very tough and strong resin systems that<br />
would be too high in viscosity to be impregnated by hand.<br />
SP’s prepregs all use the latest solvent-free, hot-melt technology. This combines the prepreg resin<br />
system with the reinforcement using heat to reduce resin viscosity and pressure to assist resin<br />
impregnation. Besides producing a volatile-free product, the solvent-free nature of this process is far<br />
more environmentally acceptable than the more traditional ‘solvent tower’ process. Every prepreg<br />
product produced by SP is monitored on-line with sophisticated measuring equipment. This gives the<br />
products their highly accurate and consistent resin contents.<br />
Although it is theoretically possible to produce an almost infinite number of resin and reinforcement<br />
permutations, wherever possible SP produces prepregs from a defined selection to ensure that each<br />
product provides the best combination of performance and cost. These standard items are listed in<br />
this product catalogue, and enquiries for other combinations should be made to an SP Sales Engineer.<br />
Some of the more popular standard products are continually held in stock and form the “SP Essentials”<br />
range - the prepregs you need, available when you need them.<br />

Prepreg Materials<br />
SP Prepregs<br />
SE 70 is a family of hot melt, low temperature (70ºC) cure, epoxy prepreg systems. They have been<br />
developed for use in the construction of large components using low energy cure cycles, and have an<br />
outlife of 0 days at °C. Excellent properties can be achieved at this cure temperature, particularly<br />
compressive and interlaminar shear strengths.<br />
SE 84LV is an exceptionally versatile hot-melt, epoxy prepreg, it can be cured at temperatures as low as<br />
80°C, or it can be used for faster moulding of components at 0°C. This is achieved with an extremely<br />
good outlife of up to 56 days at °C. SE 84 is a toughened system, and offers excellent mechanical<br />
properties on a wide variety of reinforcing fabrics and fibres. With its high compressive strength it is<br />
widely used in large heavily loaded components, such as yacht hulls, and spars.<br />
SE 85 GTBL is a highly toughened prepreg resin giving controlled flow and excellent impact resistance<br />

SPRINT ® Materials<br />
SPRINT ® - SP Resin Infusion Technology – is a unique patented material and processing technology that<br />
allows high quality composite components, with high mechanical properties and very low void content,<br />
to be produced rapidly and economically.<br />
SPRINT ® materials consist of a layer of fibre reinforcement either side of a pre-cast, precatalysed<br />
resin film with a very lightweight tack film on one face. The material therefore has the appearance<br />
of dry reinforcement, which has resin concealed at its center. SPRINT ® materials are produced by a<br />
process that differs from conventional prepreg so that the fibres in the reinforcements remain dry and<br />
unimpregnated by the resin.<br />
SPRINT ® materials are laid up in a mould and vacuum bagged as for conventional prepreg. However,<br />
when the vacuum is applied, the air transport properties of the dry reinforcement enable air trapped in<br />
the fibre bundles and between layers to be easily removed. When the temperature is then raised for the<br />
cure, the resin film softens and flows into the air-free reinforcement. The void content of the resultant<br />
laminate is extremely low (typically 0-0.5%).<br />
SPRINT ® is available in a number of resin and reinforcement combinations using woven and stitched<br />
carbon, glass, aramid and hybrids in a multitude of styles. These can be in the form of random mat,<br />
woven fabrics, stitched fabrics, or simple rovings.<br />
Unlike conventional prepreg the fibres are not held rigidly by the resin, so the SPRINT ® prepreg is much<br />
more drapable. The technology has been successfully applied to a range of applications from large<br />
structures (with thick laminates) to small complex mouldings.<br />
As with Prepregs, some of the more popular SPRINT ® products are continually held in stock as the “SP<br />
Essentials” range - the products you want, when you want them.<br />

at 70ºC to cycles as short as 5minutes at 0ºC and is sufficiently toughened that it can be used for both<br />
the structural laminate and as a core-bond to Corecell foam simply by increasing the resin content of the<br />
SPRINT ® , removing the need for additional adhesive films. The low cure temperature allows use of low cost<br />
tooling materials such as vinlyester / glass tooling. In line with all SPRINT ® resin matrices, ST 70 has good<br />
flow characteristics, tailored to give low flow at room temperature to avoid wetting out of the reinforcement<br />
on the roll, but high flow at the cure temperature to ensure full wet out and low void content.<br />

Core Materials<br />
Corecell<br />
Introduction<br />
Cores in a sandwich construction are specified by designers and architects to increase stiffness and<br />
reduce the weight of a composite structure. Corecell is the leading structural foam core material,<br />
which has become widely accepted for the construction of large, high performance structures. It is the<br />
latest in foam core technology and although originally developed for the marine industry, it is now used<br />
in other applications such as wind turbines and sub sea vessels.<br />
Corecell uses a SAN polymer base, resulting in unique high toughness and impact resistance<br />
characteristics. The foam acts as a ‘shock absorber’ between the two skins – absorbing the impact<br />
without failing, distributing the stresses evenly within the core and, in the case of a boat, ensures it<br />
remains watertight even after high point impacts.<br />
Corecell foams provide low weight, excellent stiffness, and structural integrity under dynamic loads.<br />
They have high shear elongation and retain their mechanical properties even in the higher ambient<br />
temperature range. The insulation values are constant over time due to a controlled, CFC-free foaming<br />
process.<br />
Corecell foams are compatible with polyester, vinylester, and epoxy resins. However, SP recommends<br />
appropriate tests are carried out to check the bond/compatability with any resin system used.<br />
Epoxy resins bond well to the Corecell foam, but through a mechanical bond; as there is no chemical<br />
interaction the integrity of both the epoxy and the core is maintained.<br />
Corecell is type approved by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Lloyds Register of Shipping, Det<br />
Norske Veritas (DNV) and Germanischer Lloyd (GL).<br />

Core Materials<br />
Corecell<br />
Forms of Supply<br />
Corecell is supplied in a wide range of product forms, optimized for different applications<br />
and composite production processes. Our standard product forms are described below.<br />
SP can also tailor Corecell sheets to your own specification - please call us to discuss<br />
your requirements.<br />
PL - Plain Sheet – Optimum material properties. Limited bending in-mould.<br />
PH - Plain with Bleeder Holes – Assists air release in vacuum bag processes. The standard<br />
format is .6mm ( / 6”) holes drilled 50mm ( ”) apart. Available on all sizes and foam<br />
types.<br />
Cuts for conformability – Available on A, P, T and K foam types<br />
SC – Single Cut – Provides flexibility in a single direction on one or both sides of a sheet.<br />
If done on both sides, the cuts intersect so no bleeder holes are necessary for vaccum<br />
bagging. Maximum sheet size is half of a full-size sheet.<br />
DC - Double Cut – Provides flexibility in two directions on one or both sides of the sheet. If<br />
Double Cut on both sides, the intersecting cuts make DC a highly effective resin infusion<br />
medium. The cuts are not visible when the sheets lie flat and these narrow knife-cuts<br />
minimize unnecessary resin accumulations compared to sawn core materials.<br />
Standard DC is knife-cut in 0mm ( / 6”) squares to a maximum depth of 75% depending<br />
on thickness. Double cut is available up to 800 density and to a sheet thickness of 8mm<br />
( .5”). Depth of cut is limited to 6mm (5/8”) in the 800 density but it should be noted<br />
that above 8mm ( /8”) thickness cuts do not intersect. Maximum sheet size is half<br />
of a full-size sheet.<br />
CS – Contour Scrim – provides optimum flexibility in two directions. Sheets are knife cut<br />
in 0mm ( / 6”) squares and bonded to a glass scrim. Available on sheets up to 8mm<br />
( /8”) thick and up to 800 density. Maximum standard sheet size is half the full sheet.<br />
Surface grooves for infusion – Available on all foam types<br />
VIC - Vacuum Infusion Core – Tailor made Corecell vacuum infusion materials are used<br />
by leading boatbuilders worldwide. There are several VIC options and we can customize<br />
grooving patterns and bleeder holes as required. For curved laminate sections, doublesided<br />
DC Corecell is very effective system for resin infusion with low weight gain. Heat<br />
forming VIC surface cut Corecell is also useful for obtaining curved panels with minimal<br />
resin uptake.<br />
Other Product Formats<br />

Vacuum Consumables<br />
Infusion<br />
SP have selected a range of infusion materials which can be used from the simplest test panel to the<br />
largest yachts or wind turbines.<br />
Resin infusion is very similar to vacuum bagging in that differences in air pressure consolidate<br />
the laminate stack and control the resin content of the composite. The main difference is that the<br />
reinforcement fibre is introduced into the mould dry - not wetted out with resin. A Peel Ply and infusion<br />
mesh are then introduced, the mould is then sealed using a vacuum bag and tacky tape. The mould is<br />
then evacuated of air very like vacuum bagging. Once the vacuum bag has been sealed and the vacuum<br />
level maintained the resin system is introduced through inlet pipes. The resin then flows / is sucked into<br />
the mould over the infusion mesh and down into the laminate.<br />
This generates very repeatable, in weight and strength, mouldings by a clean and controllable<br />
production method. For further details please see our website at www.gurit.com or contact our<br />
Technical Department.<br />

Ancillary Products<br />
In order to assist in the use of the wide range of materials manufactured and supplied by SP, a range<br />
of Ancillary Products are also available. These have been refined over many years to enable users to<br />
handle products safely and to obtain the very best results from SP materials. The Ancillary Products are<br />
grouped together into three main categories:<br />
> Filler Powders – This section includes a range of filler powders which are designed to modify the<br />
properties of some of the SP liquid solvent-free resin systems, and so create resin mixes for use<br />
as fillers and adhesives.<br />
> Solvents – This section includes a range of solvents for cleaning tools and surfaces and solvents<br />
for the thinning of SP solvent-based resin systems.<br />
> Sundries – This section includes:<br />
Products for mixing and dispensing such as dispense pumps and drum taps<br />
Products for resin application such as brushes and rollers<br />
Products for skin protection such as Nitrile gloves and barrier cream<br />
Products for pigmenting SP solvent-free resins.<br />
Marine Product Catalogue Page 57 MPC-09-0 09
Filler Powders<br />
Introduction<br />
SP filler powders are designed to modify the properties of some of the SP liquid solvent-free epoxy<br />
resins and so to create a variety of semi-liquid products such as filling and fairing compounds and<br />
adhesives. The fillers form three distinct categories: hollow spheres, short fibres, and flow modifiers.<br />
Hollow Spheres<br />
Hollow spheres serve to increase the volume and reduce the density of any resin system and are used<br />
to make adhesive mixes and filling & fairing mixes. They are regularly used for producing easily sanded<br />
filling & fairing compounds, and can also be used for making low density adhesives for low strain<br />
applications. Within this category SP supplies two different types of hollow spheres: microballoons and<br />
glass bubbles.<br />
Short Fibres<br />
For adding strength to a resin and hardener mix used as a structural adhesive, short reinforcing fibres<br />
are often added which act in a similar strengthening way to the long reinforcing fibres used in composite<br />
construction. The fibres also help to prevent resin starvation when bonding porous surfaces. Within this<br />
category SP supplies cellulose microfibres.<br />
Flow Modifiers<br />
The most common material for modifying the flow properties of a resin mix is colloidal silica. This is a<br />
very fine powder which is added in conjunction with other fillers to ‘thicken’ mixes and reduce their flow<br />
on vertical surfaces (increase thixotropy). Resin systems such as Spabond 5 and Spabond 40LV have<br />
silica pre-added by specialised equipment. This machinery can provide a high level of dispersion so that<br />
less silica is required to achieve the same level of thixotropy than would be achieved by hand mixing.<br />

SP Solvents<br />
Introduction<br />
SP produces a range of formulated solvents for use with both solvent-free and solvent-based<br />
products.<br />
Due to the very different chemistry of some of the SP products from each other, it is important that<br />
the correct solvents are selected for the intended application. For example, the solvents used for the<br />
polyurethane varnish, Ultravar 000, are quite different to those used for SP’s solvent-based epoxies<br />
such as Eposeal 00.<br />
The solvents fall into two main groups:<br />
Those which are used for a variety of cleaning applications with SP’s solvent-free epoxies such as<br />
SP 06, Ampreg . These solvent-free products should never have solvent added to them to ‘thin them<br />
down’. If a lower viscosity, thinner epoxy product is required then this should be achieved by gentle<br />
warming of the product, or warming the surface to which the product is applied. Note that any extra<br />
heat applied will also accelerate the product’s rate of cure. Alternatively, there may be a different SP<br />
epoxy product with a more suitable viscosity for the intended application.<br />
The remaining solvents are designed for use with SP’s solvent-based products, and can be used for<br />
cleaning applications, and for thinning the product to suit the intended application method (e.g. brushing,<br />
spraying). For the correct solvent for a given application, please see the resin systems data sheet for<br />
details.<br />

Application & Sundry Items<br />
Introduction<br />
The following application and sundry items are designed to assist the user in dispensing, mixing and<br />
applying SP formulated products, quickly, efficiently and safely. This section is therefore divided into<br />
three product groups. Mixing and Dispensing includes a range of products which enable measured<br />
amounts of epoxy resin and hardener to be transferred from the containers, and mixed together in the<br />
correct ratio, without spillage. The Application section includes products that allow efficient transfer<br />
of the mixed resin system to the job. This section is not exhaustive. Other items, not supplied by SP<br />
but regularly found in workshops, such as conventional brushes, are also suitable for the application of<br />
many SP formulated products. Finally, the Skin Protection section contains items to assist with the<br />
safe handling of SP products. Please note that full Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available<br />
for each SP formulated product - each MSDS contains full details of the types of safety equipment that<br />
should be employed during the product’s use.<br />

Contacting SP<br />
In an effort to answer incoming telephone calls more promptly and to improve the service to our<br />
customers, we operate an Automated Attendant Telephone System. The main benefit of the system is<br />
that multiple calls are answered simultaneously thus reducing customer waiting time, and individuals<br />
can be contacted directly, even outside of the switchboard open hours (Monday - Friday, 08. 0 - 7.00).<br />
Begin by dialling the Gurit (UK) Ltd main number (see below). Providing you have a touch-tone phone<br />
(your key pad should have a * or #), you are able to dial the extension number of the person you require<br />
as soon as the call is answered by the Automated Attendant. If the person at the extension you have<br />
dialled is not available you will be given the option of leaving a message in their voice mail. If you choose<br />
to leave a message then you can either hang up when done, or press zero to get to another extension.<br />
If you do not wish to leave a message at all but would instead like to speak to someone else, then press<br />
zero as soon as the message begins. This will put you through to the operator or, out of hours, the main<br />
Gurit (UK) Ltd answering service.<br />
If you do not have a touch-tone phone, or you do not know to whom you wish to speak, then simply<br />
remain on the line during the welcoming message and during office hours (08. 0 - 7.00) your call will<br />
be answered by the operator.<br />
Outside office hours you will be invited to record a message.<br />
We have listed below SP personnel who are likely to be contacted on a regular basis.<br />
Please note individual E-mail addresses remain as before (see overleaf).<br />
