Kordsa fast-cure prepreg targets automotive mass production
Kordsa’s fast press curable resin boasts an enhanced visual quality, enabling the possibility of prepreg use in automotive mass production.
Kordsa (Istanbul,Turkey) has introduced CM14, a new fast-cure prepreg system for use in press-molding and designed for manufacturing large-volume, low-cost, high-quality composite parts. Kordsa says CM14 eliminates waterspot and whitespot problems, reportedly providing high visual clarity. The new resin, says the company, was designed to provide high-grade part surface quality with a visible carbon fiber look. It is said to enable prepreg use in automotive mass production.
