“DICARBO^® LF”, the most advanced, fast curing carbon fiber reinforced prepreg*, can replace your current materials to increase productivity.

*Sheet like intermediate material made by spreading and arranging carbon fiber bundles and soaking them with resin

• 

• DICARBO^® LF can be molded by various methods such as press molding, autoclave molding, and sheet winding molding.

Three reasons why DICARBO^® LF can increase productivity up to 5 times.

1

Fast curing!

DICARBO^® LF can be molded in about 1 minute. This is about 5 times faster than the curing time of general Fast-Curable type prepreg, which cure in about 5 minutes.

Low temperature curing type is also available.

• Lower utility cost in molding
  Compared to general thermosetting prepregs, the molding temperature can be lowered by 40℃.
• Lower molding cost
  Molds last longer because thermal damage to the mold is reduced. It is also possible to switch to inexpensive mold materials.
• Improved appearance
  Low-temperature curing suppresses curing shrinkage during molding, resulting in a more beautiful appearance.

No need for refrigeration facilities!

DICARBO^® LF can be stored at room temperature. While general thermosetting prepregs must be stored frozen or refrigerated, DICARBO^® LF can be stored at room temperature (around 23℃). In addition to facilitating material management, thawing before use is also unnecessary.

That's why productivity is improved!
It’s also Energy-saving!!

DICARBO^® LF can be molded in a higher cycle time than general thermosetting prepregs.
The process is illustrated below.
