Safety & Health
- Health and safety
THINPREG™ 513 contains epoxy resins which can cause allergic reaction. When uncured, ThinPregTM 513 should be handled with appropriate gloves. When cured, a composite laminate made of THINPREG™ 513 should be cut, drilled or machined in a room equipped with an exhaust ventilation and filtration system, by operators wearing protective cloth and masks.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging
THINPREG™ 513 is wound into 300 mm (11.8 inches) wide rolls on a 76 mm (3 inches) inner diameter cardboard tube. THINPREG™ 513 is supported on a bottom silicon paper. The standard roll length is 150 linear meters (164 yards).
Storage & Handling
- Storage
THINPREG™ 513 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 80 days.
