High quality end-grain balsa for use as a high-performance core material in composite sandwich panels and cored mouldings. The core has a nominal density of 150kg/m³ and a compressive strength of 12.8Mpa making it one of the highest strength-to-weight ratio composite core materials available.
Eye-catching plain weave hybrid reinforcement fabric made using 3k carbon fibre and white Innegra fibre.The combination of high strength and modulus from the carbon fibre combined with the high impact strength and elongation of the Innegra fibres make this hybrid fabric a popular choice for high performance applications requiring a safe failure mode, such as race car panels, canoes and kayaks.
Innegra is a low density, high tenacity polypropylene fibre that can be used independently or in conjunction with other reinforcements to produce low weight, impact resistant laminates making it well suited to high impact applications such as canoes, kayaks, life rafts etc.Owing to its black colour, this black Innegra S cloth is particularly suitable for use underneath carbon fibre.This fabric is 1m (1000mm) wide and is sold by the linear metre.
These chopped fibres are made from 100% recycled material comprising of pyrolysed standard modulus fibre (4-5Gpa) and are at random chopped lengths of 10-30mm. Please be aware that as this is made from recycled material it will be subject to variation from batch to batch and may have inclusion of small quantities of other fibre types such as glass.
ROHACELL® 71 IG-F is a high-performance PMI (polymethacrylimide) Foam, featuring a very fine cell structure which results in very low surface resin consumption. This foam is ideal for performance critical structures such as UAV wing-skins, wind energy and high-performance motorsport / water sport applications.
EL2 is a high performance epoxy laminating resin suitable for hand-layup of reinforcements such as carbon fibre, aramid and glass fibre. Its combination of mechanical performance, fast wet-out, easy handling and great value make EL2 a hugely popular choice in motorsport, boat-building, model-making and general composites.Sold as a kit (resin and hardener). Available to buy online with a choice of FAST or SLOW hardener in 500g, 1kg, 5kg and 32.5kg kits.
EB700 is a high quality 700kg/m³ epoxy tooling board recommended for CNC machining of highly accurate models, patterns or masters as well as low volume production tools/moulds. It offers excellent surface finish, stability and service temperature up to 130°C.Epoxy tooling board is also highly recommended over PU tooling board when making patterns or moulds for use with epoxy-matrix prepregs.
This super-low density core material weighs just 29kg/m³ and is used as a core material in ultra-light sandwich panels for weight-critical applications like competition R/C models, UAVs and ultra-light aircraft. Nomex honeycomb can be incorporated into a structure in a number of ways including wet-lay, vacuum bagging, adhesive bonding and prepreg (with or without adhesive film
The ultimate in semi-permanent chemical release agents. Use Easy-Lease to prevent moulds sticking to patterns and components sticking to moulds. Compatible with nearly all tool surfaces, cure temperatures and resin systems including epoxy, polyester and vinylester. Suitable for wet-lay, resin infusion, and pre-preg use; both in and out of autoclave.
Reusable silicone connector designed specifically for the resin infusion process. The connector sits inside the vacuum bag and accepts a 9mm OD vacuum hose and has a slot underneath to feed into the resin infusion spiral.
One of our best-selling products; we've sold nearly 5,000 resin infusion starter kits over the years and it's helped to launch a number of today's successful composites manufacturing companies.The kit includes all vacuum bagging consumables, tools, equipment and ancillary items in order to start-out with the vacuum resin infusion process.
