Toray Cetex® TC1100

1 of 15 products in this brand
Toray Toray Cetex® TC1100 is a high-end but cost-effective thermoplastic composite material, utilizing a semi-crystalline PPS polymer for excellent mechanical properties and an outstanding chemical and solvent resistance. With over 7 million parts in flight and qualified for structural Applications at Airbus, Boeing, and many other airframe OEMs, Toray Cetex® TC1100 offers a great balance between cost and performance, both mechanical and chemical. The material is inherently flame resistant (< 35/35 OSU) with low smoke emission. Besides Applications in aerospace, Toray Cetex® TC1100 is often the material of choice for demanding industrial Applicationss. Toray Cetex® TC1100 is available as a UD tape, a fabric prepreg, and as reinforced thermoplastic laminates (RTLs) of varying thicknesses. RTLs can be equipped with lightning strike protection, and carbon reinforced RTLs can be supplied with a thin glass top layer to protect a partly metallic assembly against galvanic corrosion. PPS (PolyPhenyleneSulfide) Thermoplastic Resin System.
