ACG launches flame-retardant prepreg

ACG says MTM82S-C offers excellent mechanical properties in combination with exceptional fire performance at operating temperatures of -55-80°C (-67-176°F).

Under fire conditions, MTM82S-C laminates exhibit low fire propagation and surface spread of flames together with low smoke and toxic gas emission, meeting the requirements of the following standards:

  • British Standards BS 476 Part 6 and 7, and BS 6853 Cat 1a;
  • French Standards NF P 92-501 Rating M1 and NF F 16-101 Rating F1; and
  • German DIN5510 Ratings S2, SR2 and ST2.

ACG’s MTM82S-C is available for use with a wide range of carbon and glass fibre materials, and is suitable for both monolithic and sandwich structures.
