Safety & Health
- Health and safety
ThinPreg™ 380CE contains cyanate ester resins which can cause allergic reaction. When uncured, ThinPreg™ 380CE should be handled with appropriate gloves. When cured, a composite laminate made of ThinPreg™ 380CE should be cut, drilled or machined in a room equipped with an exhaust ventilation and filtration system, by operators wearing protective clothing and masks. Refer to Material Safety Data Sheet for further information.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging
ThinPreg™ 380CE is wound into 300 mm (11.8 inches) wide rolls on a 76 mm (3 inches) or 150mm (6 inches) inner diameter cardboard tube. ThinPreg™ 380CE is supported on a bottom silicon paper. The standard roll length is 150 linear meters (164 yards).
Storage & Handling
- Storage
ThinPreg™ 380CE should be stored at -18°C (0°F) to reach the maximum shelf life of 24 months. At 21°C (70°F), the out life is 30 days.
