Recycling and Re-use of Vinyl Ester Prepreg Scrap

11:30 AM

Joe Fox, Director, Emerging & External Technologies at Ashland
abstract:
Vinyl ester prepregs have an attractive value proposition for composite fabrication. They are extremely stable at room temperature and do not need to be refrigerated. They can be compression molded with cure times of 3 minutes or less. They do not contain styrene or other reactive diluents, and they have embodied energy advantages over other resin systems. Vinyl ester prepregs are also attractive from a recycling and re-use perspective; they can reduce the amount of process scrap that needs to go to a landfill. This presentation will describe processes that enable recovery of carbon fibers from prepreg scrap. The re-use of prepreg scrap in molding or co-molding operations will also be described.
