PREPREG PRODUCTS
Apogee currently produces 12" wide material in woven and unidirectional formats. We work with customers to develop tailored material solutions. Resin can be distributed in traditional continuous films or through Apogee's proprietary process that enables more rapid gas evacuation and improved part quality. Apogee prepregs can be cured in VBO, autoclave, or other processing methods.

PREPREG
12" wide prepreg is available in standard and proprietary formats for various woven fibers, unidirectional fibers, and resin systems.
(60" wide prepreg will be coming Q1 2026.)
What Makes Apogee Prepreg Different
Apogee prepregs are engineered to have through-thickness gas permeability orders of magnitude higher than competing out-of-autoclave prepregs. This through-thickness permeability facilitates and expedites removal of entrapped gasses during de-bulking and processing, resulting in composite structures that reliably pass quality inspection even when processed in the absence of the compaction pressure provided by an autoclave.
Our innovation does not rely on unique resin chemistry or selection of a fiber system or sizing. Instead, it can be applied to any material system that is found in conventional prepregs. Customers who adopt Apogee prepregs will immediately see improved part cycle times due to reduced debulking periods enabled by more efficient gas evacuation.
The Benefits:
Superior Quality​​
Our unique product will make it easier, faster, and less expensive to produce high-quality composite structures. Using our VBO prepreg, composite structure manufacturers can expand production capacity by purchasing ovens at 10-15% the cost of comparable autoclaves, unlocking significant savings in capital equipment investment. ​
Further, the patented format of Apogee prepregs uniquely enables a variety of applications of prepreg for which conventional formats are fundamentally unsuitable such as in-field repair of composite aircraft.
​
By combining Apogee’s prepreg format with Apogee’s patent-pending cure process, Apogee’s technology also enables use of a wider variety of resin formulations that cannot traditionally be used in out-of-autoclave manufacturing scenarios.
