Gurit, the leading global supplier of high end, lightweight composites for cabin interiors and secondary structures, has launched its next generation aircraft interior prepreg.
PB1000 is a modified benzoxazine resin that boasts zero formaldehyde and phenol resi-due, satisfying the most recent environmental standards like AIRBUS AP2091.
It features a non-volatile rapid cure, generating a perfect void and porous free surface, through which time and cost consuming rework is eliminated.
Gurit’s novel PB1000 fully complies with demanding international JAR/FAR fire protection regulations regarding flammability, smoke, toxicity (FST) and heat release. Due to its excellent mechanical performance, PB1000 is perfectly suited to fulfil present and forth-coming stress criteria for interior design.
Gurit has successfully introduced its advanced range of unidirectional carbon fiber EP137-CR527 prepregs for the AIRBUS A380.
These prepregs are especially designed for automated lay-up processing and due to its unique technical and economic performance, this class of Gurit prepregs will be a perfect choice for future aircraft.
