CYCOM® 7701 Epoxy Resin

Overview

CYCOM® 7701 Epoxy Resin is a high-performance aerospace-grade epoxy resin system designed for structural laminates and honeycomb sandwich panel construction on aircraft exterior applications. This 250°F (121°C) curing resin delivers excellent mechanical properties, solvent resistance, and self-extinguishing characteristics while offering exceptional drape and tack in prepreg form. Developed primarily for autoclave processing, CYCOM 7701 can also be vacuum bag cured or press molded, making it a versatile composite manufacturing solution.
