Toray BT250E-1 PRODUCT DATA SHEET DESCRIPTION Toray BT250E-1 resin system is a 121°C (250°F) cure epoxy prepreg system with excellent toughness and strength. It provides an outstanding surface finish under vacuum-bag/oven-cure only. The resin system, which is self-adhesive to honeycomb and foam core, is MIL-R-9300 qualified and makes a great choice for many applications in the low-tomedium-service temperature range. system for out of autoclave cure for good impact resistance ff MIL-R-9300 qualified ff Ideal for low-to-medium service temperature applications ff Toughened PRODUCT TYPE TYPICAL NEAT RESIN PROPERTIES 121°C (250°F) Cure, Epoxy Prepreg System Moisture Absorption 2.0% after 24 hr water boil Tensile Strength Tensile Modulus Tensile Strain SHELF LIFE Loss Tangent fSecondary aircraft structures f fRadomes with glass, quartz, and Kevlar® f fReflectors f fSporting goods f fKnee braces and other related medical items f fGeneral purpose composites f Dielectric Constant TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Tack Life: Compression Strength Compression Modulus Frozen Storage Life: Flexural Strength Flexural Modulus Flexural Strain Dielectric Constant at 10 GHz on 4581 quartz Loss Tangent at 10 GHz on 4581 quartz Tack life is the time during which the prepreg retains enough tack, drape, and handling for component lay-up. Out life is the maximum time allowed at ambient temperature before cure. *Ambient is 18–22°C (65–72°F) *Out life tested by SBS on 8-ply 15 x 15 cm (6 x 6”) fabric laminate, cured in an out-of-autoclave/vacuum-bag only (OOA/VBO) environment with 914–948 mbar (27–28 inHg). Users may need to separately evaluate out life limits on thicker, larger, and more complex parts.
