Notus NE5 is Notus Composites' next generation low pressure vacuum curing epoxy prepreg system with cure temperatures ranging from 85-120°C.

It has been formulated to be especially suited to large structural applications and provides a finished part Tg of 100-120°C. This system has been formulated with excellent handling characteristics as well as providing a very long out life. NE5 prepregs can remain at room temperature (21-23°C) for up to 60 days and have a shelf life of 24 months at -18°C.

NE5 materials are extremely versatile, having been used for large wind turbine blades, marine craft, sporting equipment and many other industrial applications.

NE5 is high flow matrix system that produces a high-quality surface on the final part. Outstanding consolidation can be achieved in extremely thick laminates using only vacuum bag pressure. Notus NE5 materials are available in prepreg and N1-Preg formats with all types of reinforcements including heavyweight fabrics. and it is the material of choice for wind energy and large industrial applications.

Features and Benefits

• Versatile curing temperature, 85-120°C
• Low exotherm risk, even for thick laminates.
• High flow resin matrix
• Good finished part surface finish.

Notus NE6 is a high-performance epoxy prepreg system that can be cured at temperatures as low as 80°C.

NE6 has been formulated for applications requiring a low temperature cure and a final Tg in the range of 80-120°C. Alternatively, the system can be cured at higher temperatures such as 120°C to reduce production cycle times. It is easy to handle and laminate with and is suitable for both vacuum bag and autoclave curing. Notus NE6 has a very long out life at room temperature (60 days at 21-23°C) and can be kept frozen for up to 18 months at -18°C.

The high flow NE6 resin matrix produces even and consistent wet out in the laminate, even when using the heaviest reinforcement fabrics. Outstanding consolidation can be achieved in extremely thick laminates using only vacuum bag pressure.

Notus NE6 is available in all prepreg and N1-Preg formats with unidirectional, multiaxial and woven reinforcements, it can also be supplied as a resin film.

Features and Benefits

• Low cure temperature.
• High flow resin matrix.
• Suitable for vacuum and autoclave curing (up to 3.5 bar pressure).
• Low exotherm risk, even for thick laminates.
• Long out-life & shelf-life.

Notus NE7 is a high-performance low temperature curing epoxy prepreg system that delivers significant cost savings by allowing the use of cost effective (or existing) low temperature mould tools. The standard NE7 cure cycle is 70˚C for 12 hours.

NE7 has been formulated for applications requiring a low temperature cure and a final Tg in the range of 80-90°C. Alternatively, the system can be cured at higher temperatures such as 100°C to reduce production cycle times. It is easy to handle and laminate with and is suitable for both vacuum bag and autoclave curing. Notus NE7 has a moderate out life at room temperature (30 days at 18-20°C) and can be kept frozen for up to 9 months at -18°C.

The medium to high flow NE7 resin matrix produces even and consistent wet out in the laminate, even when using the heaviest reinforcement fabrics. Outstanding consolidation can be achieved in extremely thick laminates using only vacuum bag pressure.

Notus NE7 is available in all prepreg and N1-Preg formats with unidirectional, multiaxial and woven reinforcements, it can also be supplied as a resin film.

Key Features and Benefits

• Significant cost reduction through cost low temperature tooling.
• Cures at temperatures as low as 70˚C.
• Suitable for vacuum and autoclave curing (up to 3.5 bar pressure).
• Low exotherm risk, even for thick laminates.
• 30 days out-life & 9 months shelf-life
