Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides thermosetting resin pre-impregnated or infused fiber materials or prepregs comprising a fiber material of a heat resistant fiber, such as a continuous fiber material or a discontinuous chopped fiber mat, infused with a thermosetting resin mixture comprising (i) at least one liquid epoxy resin; (ii) at least one epoxy novolac resin, (iii) dicyandiamide and (iv) and an adduct of a cycloaliphatic amine and a liquid epoxy resin, wherein the dicyandiamide is dissolved in the adduct of a cycloaliphatic amine and a liquid epoxy resin. The prepreg or fiber material has a shelf life of at least 30 days at ambient temperature and pressure before its Initial Tg (DSC) rises above 40° C.
