     Their corporate folks really messed up the web site making it hard to find details about their products without opening a variety of slow Acrobat files. But they offer small quality runs of prepreg for both tooling and products. 

     If you do not have an autoclave their LTM24ST is a great prepreg for oven processing - it renders a flawless, void-free surface with oven/vacuum bag curing. Out-time is limited on many of their products.


     If your organization is starting a new aircraft program, Nelcote's (formerly Fibercote) E-765 Prepreg Systems are pre-approved by the FAA under the AGATE program.

     Qualification is still required, but under a far less costly test effort.  3K T300 plain weave, 6K T300 5HS, T700 carbon unitape are qualified along with 7781 e-glass.  T700 12K twill and plain weave reinforcement are currently be certified.

     20 bucks a month gets you all the DVD's you can view if you are good at mailing them back right after you view them. I'm sold!


     The US Patent Office now allows you to read complete patents and view the graphics (with a browser plug-in).  In the past you could read the abstract only and had to pay $$$ for a snail mail copy.

 


     Latest Internet Software Download Site and somewhat of an Institution on the Web (long since sold and not too great anymore).
