polypropylene-based fiber and carbon prepreg[/caption] Axiom Materials Inc. has partnered with Innegra Technologies, LLC to deliver an innovative new line of toughened composite prepregs to the advanced composites market. Using Innegra-S, a tough, polypropylene-based fiber reinforcement, Axiom developed woven and unidirectional prepregs based on its AX-201M resin system. Innegra Technologies has conducted a myriad of technical analysis on the mechanical and impact properties of both laminar and sandwich constructions using fiberglass, woven carbon, and unidirectional laminates, and Textreme™ hybrid laminates. The data demonstrate unique properties that make these materials ideal for low weight and damage-tolerant applications. The prepregs may also be used for low RF-signature structures due to their low dielectric properties. Innegra-based and carbon-Innegra hybrid prepregs are especially suited for applications such as performance and racing vehicles, sailboats, antenna housings, and other situations where aramid composites would traditionally be used.

Axiom Materials is proud to be a sponsor of LoveArt& children's arts workshops. Loveart& is a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring and empowering youth through art, outdoor adventure and environmental advocacy. Axiom recently sponsored a three workshop series at a local school in Santa Ana, CA. The LoveArt& workshop series provides a creative education platform to underserved students in schools where arts funding is scarce. Fueled by recycled and repurposed materials, these unique art workshops reinforce current school curriculum while fostering creative thinking. Each two hour workshop is taught onsite in the children's classroom, integrating student coursework with a creative hands-on project. Axiom helped sponsor these great workshops for a 4th grade class:

• Terrarium planting - using recycled plastic water bottles
• Feather Headband workshop - learning about native cultures & customs.
• Fossil making workshop - exploring how fossils teach us about the past.

Axiom's sponsorship assisted in providing teaching staff and materials for each workshop, helping to ensure that these valuable programs were free of cost to both the students and school. We are honored to help LoveArt& nurture the creative minds of children at a time when public schools lack the funding to furnish great arts programs like this one.

We are excited to announce plans for the installation of new hot melt prepreg machinery intended to enhance capacity for prepregs, unitapes, and film adhesives. The machinery is scheduled to go into service in second quarter 2013 and will nearly double current hot melt production capacity. The equipment will be capable of producing one and two-side tack prepregs, unitapes, and film adhesives up to 62” wide. Newer qualification programs will be dual-produced on more than one machine to enhance supply security for key customers.
