PARK AEROSPACE CORP. ANNOUNCES INTRODUCTION OF E-752-MTS MID-TOUGHENED EPOXY RESIN SYSTEM
Newton, Kansas, Wednesday April 29, 2020… Park Aerospace Corp. (NYSE-PKE) announced the introduction of its new E-752-MTS mid-toughened 350°F (177°C) cure epoxy system. E-752-MTS is Park’s next generation 350°F cure epoxy system and the newest member of its E-752 product family.
E-752-MTS is designed for primary and secondary aircraft structure applications, such as wing and empennage structures, control surfaces, fuselages and engine nacelles. To provide processing flexibility and access to a wider market, E-752-MTS can be cured using Autoclave, Oven (or Out-Of-Autoclave) or Press Cure processes. Trials and testing of E-752-MTS tack levels have yielded a resin system that is optimized for hand layup fabrication, as well as select automated processes, including Automated Fiber Placement (AFP). This next generation Park resin system is available with a wide variety of aerospace grade reinforcements, including standard modulus and intermediate modulus carbon fiber fabrics and unidirectional tapes.
