Description

Prepreg PSB250 bismaleimide carbon fiber reinforced resin is designed for the production of composite parts or tools operated at temperatures up to 250°C. As a reinforcing material for a prepreg based on the bismaleimide resin PSB250, unidirectional belts and fabrics of various weave can be used. It shows the following features and properties:

Glass transition temperature 266°С

High strength and rigidity

Curing temperature 190°C, post-curing 230°C

Good stickiness

This material data has been provided by Matmatch.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.

Technological properties

Property
Processing history	Samples for testing were obtained by vacuum infusion based on PN-3M resin and carbon fabric 22502 (twill 2x2, 200 g/m2, HTA40-3K, 3.95 GPa)
Processing methods	Molding mode: 1)Heat 2°С/min to 145°С, vacuum –1bar, pressure 0 bar, 2)Hold at 145°C for 120 min, vacuum -1 bar, pressure 0 bar 3)Heat 2°C/min to 180°C, pressurize 5.5 bar, release vacuum 4)Hold at 180°C for 240 minutes, pressure 5.5 bar 5)Cool no faster than 5°C/min to 60°C, pressure 5.5 bar. Post-curing cycle: 1)Post-cure of the part can be carried out without a tooling, 2)Heat at rate 2°C/min to 180°C, 3)Heat no faster than 0.2°C/min to 230°C, 4)Holding at 230°C for 300min, 5)Cooling is not faster than 5°C/min to 25°C, 6)To achieve heat resistance up to 250°C, additional post-curing is required at 250°C for 240 minutes, 7)Heat from 230°C to 250°C at rate 2°C/min.
