Gurit’s long history supplying out of autoclave prepregs to the wind energy & marine
industries has allowed Gurit to lead the way by introducing the next generation of
prepregs, specifically designed to make large composite component manufacture
faster, easier and cheaper.
Prepreg Materials
Pre-impregnated materials (prepregs) are reinforcement fibres or fabrics into which a pre-
catalysed resin system has been impregnated by a machine. The resin systems in these
materials react very slowly at room temperature, giving rise to working times of many days or
months. Prepreg resins can only be fully cured by heating them to the prescribed cure
temperature. The accuracy of the machinery used to combine the fabric or fibre with the
resin ensures that laminates produced from prepregs have more consistent and higher fibre
contents than can be achieved by wet lay-up techniques. This allows the use of very tough,
strong resin systems that would be too high in viscosity to be impregnated by hand.
SPRINT™ Materials
SPRINT™ materials consist of a layer of fibre reinforcement either side of a pre-cast, pre-
catalysed resin film with a very lightweight tack film on one face. The material therefore has
the appearance of dry reinforcement, which has resin concealed at its centre. SPRINT™
materials are produced by a process that differs from conventional prepreg so that the fibres
in the reinforcements remain dry and un-impregnated by the resin. SPRINT™ materials are
laid up in a mould and vacuum bagged as for conventional prepreg. However, when the
vacuum is applied, the air transport properties of the dry reinforcement enable air trapped in
the fibre bundles and between layers to be easily removed. When the temperature is then
raised for the cure, the resin film softens and flows into the air-free reinforcement. The void
content of the resultant laminate is extremely low (typically 0-0.5%).
Bespoke products are available for high-volume custom applications, where specific
variants of width, resin content, fibre weight, tack levels and backers can be
requested. For specific enquiries please contact your local customer support
representative.
Gurit prepreg product formats are described as one of the following:
1PA – single release paper applied to one side only
1PO – single poly backer applied to one side only
POPA – one poly backer and one paper applied to either side
2DPE – two poly backers applied to each side
S/S – single sided SPRINT™ product
/XXXX – the 2nd reinforcement used in a double sided SPRINT™ e.g. /XC305
/CM – manufactured for cosmetic applications
Gurit’s range of low temperature curing prepregs have been developed to allow for the use
of cost-effective tooling solutions in the construction of large components.

Chemistry Description
Phenolic based chemistry is well established within the aerospace and rail industries where ultimate fire
Phenolic retardant, low smoke emission and low smoke toxicity (FST) properties are required. Phenolic prepregs are
therefore commonly used in interior aircraft components such as side walls and flooring.
Gurit has a range of fire-retardant epoxy systems suitable for applications where increased mechanical
properties are required. They generally exhibit good flame spread properties and can be used in more
Epoxy structural components compared to phenolics such as flooring panels. Where the optimum blend of FST and
mechanical properties is required, Gurit epoxy prepregs also can be co-cured with phenolic prepregs. This is
an established approach to the manufacture of aerospace flooring sandwich panels.
Cyanate ester prepregs provide excellent FST properties and can be used in thermally demanding
applications due to their high glass transition temperatures (>200oC). Laminates constructed with cyanate
Cyanate Ester ester prepregs demonstrate very low gas permeability and are volatile-free, resulting in low void and porous
free components. This together with their excellent FST and high Tg properties make them ideal for air-
conditioning ducting construction in aerospace applications.
Gurit’s Benzoxazine prepregs represent the next generation of fire-retardant chemistry where similar FST
properties to phenolics are required. An advantage of Benzoxazine chemistry is that it is phenol and
Benzoxazine formaldehyde free meeting the latest environmental standards. Additionally, during cure, Benzoxazine
prepregs are volatile-free resulting in low void and porous-free components, therefore eliminating costly
reworking processes associated with the manufacture of phenolic-based prepreg components.
For further information on product availability contact your local Gurit sales office.
Gurit’s range of high industrial prepreg products were developed for the cost-effective
manufacture of very large structures such as wind turbine blades using heavyweight
reinforcements and low-cost chemistry.

hulls and wind turbine blades. PRIME™ infusion resin has a much reduced viscosity and
longer working time, which makes it ideal for infusing very large parts with complex
reinforcements in one operation.
PRIME™ epoxy infusion systems are at the forefront of the development of liquid epoxies for
"under the bag" infusion processes, such as SCRIMP™, RIFT (resin infusion under flexible
tooling), and VARTM (vacuum assisted resin transfer moulding).

Then sub-divided into the following categories, based on the orientations of the primary
structural fibres / tows :
¬ Unidirectional Fabrics – A variety of construction styles with all structural fibres generally
running at 0° where optimum mechanical properties or local reinforcement is required.
The Style is generally Unitex (‘UT’) which offers a balance of handling properties.
¬ Woven Fabrics – A wide range of woven fabrics, available in plain, twill and satin weave
formations with fibres at 0°/90°.
¬ Multiaxial Fabrics – Stitched construction with fibres at +/-45° or 0°/90° (Double Bias),
0°/+45°/-45° (Triaxial) and 0°/+45°/-45°/90° (Quadraxial). These products offer excellent
mechanical properties, and have optimised fibre spread for high laminate quality.

In order to assist in the use of the wide range of materials manufactured and supplied by
Gurit, a range of Ancillary Products are also available. These have been refined over many
years to enable users to handle products safely and to obtain the very best results from Gurit
materials. The Ancillary Products are grouped together into three main categories:
Filler Powders
A range of filler powders which are designed to modify the properties of some of the Gurit
liquid solvent-free resin systems, and so create resin mixes for use as fillers and adhesives.
The fillers form three distinct categories: hollow spheres, short fibres, and flow modifiers.
Hollow spheres
Increase the volume and reduce the density of any resin system and are used to make
adhesive mixes and filling & fairing mixes.
¬ Microballoons: Brown microsphere filler powder used to make glues or paste fillers.
¬ Glass Bubbles: White microsphere filler powder used to make glues or paste fillers.
Short Fibres
For adding strength to a resin and hardener mix used as a structural adhesive, short
reinforcing fibres are often added which act in a similar strengthening way to the long
reinforcing fibres used in composite construction.
¬ Microfibres: Cellulose fibres used to make adhesive mixes.
Flow Modifiers
The most common material for modifying the flow properties of a resin mix is colloidal silica.
This is a very fine powder which is added in conjunction with other fillers to ‘thicken’ mixes
and reduce their flow on vertical surfaces (increase thixotropy).
¬ Colloidal Silica: Fine, anti-sag, filler powder. Use in combination with other filler powders.
Solvents
A range of solvents for cleaning tools and surfaces. Due to the very different chemistry of
some of the Gurit products from each other, it is important that the correct solvents are
selected for the intended application.
Pigments
A range of pigments that can be added to some Gurit products to adjust the colour / visual
appearance. Please contact Gurit Technical Support for further guidance on the correct
usage / addition of pigments which can vary by product.
Cleaning Solvents
Please note, Gurit’s solvent-free epoxies such as SP 106, Ampreg™ 22 should never have solvent added to
them to ‘thin them down’. If a lower viscosity, thinner epoxy product is required then this should be achieved by
gentle warming of the product, or warming the surface to which the product is applied. Note that any extra heat
applied will also accelerate the product’s rate of cure. Alternatively, there may be a different Gurit epoxy product
with a more suitable viscosity for the intended application. For the correct solvent for a given application, please
see the resin systems data sheet for details.
