This product is not classed as dangerous goods for transport and can be shipped to all destinations without restriction.
Uncured prepreg materials are stored at -20°C and are shipped still frozen from our facility. This prepreg has an 'out-life' of at least 30 days at room temperature and so typical delivery times will still leave plenty of safe 'out-life' remaining.
During summer months or periods of hot weather, it is recommended to order prepregs at the start of the week (Monday or Tuesday) to avoid adding extra shipping days over the weekend.
Unless you plan to use the product immediately, it should be placed into frozen storage as soon as possible on receipt.
The packaged size of this product exceeds 1.2m in length and so an additional handling surcharge (charged by the courier) will be included in the quoted shipping cost.
To find the delivery cost of this item to your address, add it to your basket and then use the instant shipping calculator on the basket page.
Backing ply for our XT135 out-of-autoclave prepreg carbon fibre tooling system. This is an uncured prepreg material and requires an oven or autoclave to cure it.
The XT135 tooling system can be cured in an oven under vacuum pressure only and used to produce high quality carbon fibre moulds/tools suitable for high temperature use. A minimum of two layers of this heavy 415gsm 2x2 twill backing ply should be combined with a single layer of surface ply.
This prepreg reinforcement is 1.25m (1250mm) wide and sold in a choice of prepacked roll lengths.

XPREG® XT135 is a specialist out of autoclave carbon fibre tooling prepreg. It is designed to produce dimensionally accurate carbon fibre composite moulds using vacuum bag and oven cure only.
The tooling system is made up of XT135/S surface ply and the XT135/B carbon fibre tooling prepreg backing ply listed on this page.
A lightweight composite mould suitable for modest production volumes can be produced using just one surface and two backing plies (subject to mould geometry) whilst the recommended laminate for a production mould is one surface and four backing plies. See technical datasheet for full details on suggested layups and layup considerations.
Typical Uses
XT135/B is an out of autoclave tooling prepreg backing layer part of the XT135 tooling system developed specifically for out-of-autoclave cure and as such uses a special gelcoat-like filled resin surface. XT135 should be used for the production of composite tools for cure and use out-of-autoclave.
If tools are required for autoclave use then we would suggest our XT180 or XT210 autoclave-cure tooling systems which don’t require filled resins and therefore offer slightly superior shrinkage and higher service temperatures.
The Sample Pack contains two 400x300mm (15.7x11.8") pieces of prepreg.
Further Information
Full details on the correct storage, handling and processing of XPREG XT135 can be found in safety and technical datasheets, and complete processing guide.
Storage & Handling
XPREG® XT135 should be stored frozen at -18°C in sealed plastic packaging.
