What is BS EN 2833-005 - Glass fibre thermosetting preimpregnates for aerospace applications about?
Product and component quality is paramount for aerospace vessels. The delivery of high-quality components contributes to the safety of those on board. Pre-preg is a composite material made from "pre-impregnated" fibers and a partially cured polymer matrix, such as epoxy or phenolic resin, or even thermoplastic mixed with liquid rubbers or resins. The fibers often take the form of a weave, and the matrix is used to bond them together and to other components during manufacture. The thermoset matrix is only partially cured to allow easy handling; this B-Stage material requires cold storage to prevent complete curing. Glass fibre thermosetting preimpregnates can be expensive to produce but are commonly used wherever high strength-to-weight ratio and stiffness (rigidity) are required, such as aerospace, superstructures of ships, automotive, civil engineering, sports equipment, and an increasing number of consumer and technical applications.
BS EN 2833-005 specifies the requirements for glass fabric/phenolic resin preimpregnates.
Note: BS EN 2833-005 shall be used together with EN 2833-1.
