Shipping Information
Classification
This product is not classed as dangerous goods for transport and can be shipped to all destinations without restriction.
Shipping 'Prepreg' Products
Prepreg materials are stored in our freezers at -20°C and are shipped from our warehouse still frozen. This prepreg has an 'out-life' of at least 30 days at room temperature and so typical delivery times will still leave plenty of '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.
Because of their perishable nature, we only ship prepregs internationally on priority (air) services. As a result of this, it may not always be possible to order prepregs at the same time as some large or bulky items. If this is the case, the shipping calculator will warn you and suggest that you remove large items or place separate orders.
Customs Clearance
We remind all international customers that it is their responsibility clear goods through their local customs. Any delay caused during customs clearance is outside of our control and as such we cannot refund or replace materials which are found to be damaged or unusable on arrival as a result of delays during customs clearance.
Whilst such delays are very rare, we strongly advise all customers intending to import prepreg materials to contact their local customs agency to seek full clarification of the import procedure and whether delays are likely before placing an order. By placing an order for prepreg materials, you accept these conditions of sale.
Package Size
When packaged, this product is over 1m in length. A small additional handling charge will apply when shipping to some countries and regions. When applicable, this handling charge will be included in the automatic shipping calculation shown on the basket page.

XT135/S 250g 3k Tooling Prepreg Carbon (1250mm)
- XPREG
- XT135S-C311T2-250(1250)-1
- 5/5 Average rating
Surface 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 single layer of this special 250gsm surface ply should be combined with two or more layers of the heavier 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 listed on this page and the XT135/B backing ply.
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/S is an out of autoclave tooling prepreg surface 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 XT200 autoclave-cure tooling systems which doesn'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.
XPREG® XT135 surface ply uses a special almost dry scrim to maintain air paths to the surface and achieve a pinhole-free surface finish from an out-of-autoclave cure. This scrim is extremely sensitive to out-life and will start to ‘wet-out’ within 2-3 days at room temperature (20°C), closing the air paths to the surface and increasing the risk of pinholes on the mould’s surface. For this reason, XT135 surface ply should be frozen immediately upon receipt and the amount of time the surface ply spends at room temperature should be kept to an absolute minimum.

Unfortunately we do not stock any pre-pregs with a flexible resin. The only flexible resin we supply is our EF80 Flexible Epoxy Resin which is suitable for wet lay and vacuum bagged processes.
With the XPREG Tooling Pre-preg system, no additional gelcoat is needed. The Surface layer has sufficient resin in it to allow a good quality mould surface to be produced using just the Tooling system alone.
