WIND – PREG^™

WIND – PREG™ is the ultimate in carbon laminate construction technology, combining two of the best manufacturing techniques: filament winding and the use of prepregs.

THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

1. Conventional unidirectional aerospace prepregs are wound by means of an automated winding machine
2. Biaxial aerospace prepregs are wound at 45° using a dedicated winding machine
3. A final layer of WIND-PREG™ is cross wound to deliver unbeatable product strength
4. Prior to curing, we apply a special heat-activated film that compresses the layers 40% more than other commercially available products
5. The next step in the process takes place in a special autoclave, which eliminates waste and gives the end product a flawless surface finish

As a result of this advanced technology, Italica products do not require any additional finishes, such as fabrics, paints or coatings. In addition, the process includes exclusive nano-core winding with its unique pattern.

ADVANTAGES OF WIND – PREG™

• Considerable reduction in weight across all products
• 40% increase in strength, resulting in exceptional longevity
• Substantial improvement in performance, combining the best of both technologies
• Distinctive design for all carbon products

XPREG

In addition to WIND – PREG™, we also offer XPREG technology.

While WIND – PREG™ cross-winds fibres at 45°, XPREG features less fibres, making this a more economical solution. This technology is ideal for an extensive range of products, striking an optimal balance between weight and strength, akin to WIND – PREG™.
