Apogee Composites

About Apogee Composites

Apogee manufactures and sell customizable through-thickness permeable prepreg. Our unique product makes it easier, faster, and cheaper to produce high-quality composite structures. 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 gases during debulking 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. We work directly with customers to develop unique prepreg materials and formats tailored to their individual needs. Apogee prepregs do not rely on unique resin chemistry or selection of a fiber system or sizing. Instead, we can produce prepregs from any conventional fiber/resin system as well as a variety of non-standard materials. Customers who adopt Apogee prepregs will immediately see improved part cycle times due to reduced debulking periods enabled by more efficient gas evacuation. Furthermore, 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. Our patented method for producing Apogee prepregs uniquely enables a variety of applications for which conventional prepreg formats are fundamentally unsuitable such as in-field repair of composite aircraft. As we grow, we will continue to develop new technologies related to the manufacturing and format of our prepregs. We hope to stay on the leading edge of innovations in the prepreg composites industry.
