Fiberglass composite Cetex® TC1200

thermoplastic resinfor the aerospace industrylaminate

Toray Cetex® TC1200 is a high-end thermoplastic composite material, utilizing the semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer PEEK for excellent mechanical performance. The long-standing use of PEEK in demanding applications such as aerospace and cutting edge medical applications proves its benefits and versatility. As a composite material it offers outstanding mechanical performance, also at elevated temperatures. The semi-crystalline nature of the resin ensures an excellent resistance to chemicals and solvents, and an equally superior performance in flammability properties. Toray Cetex® TC1200 is available in UD tape, fabric prepreg, and RTL formats (reinforced thermoplastic laminate). 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. Glass scrim is also applicable in structures made from UD tape. Product benefits/features Excellent toughness and impact resistance Excellent mechanical performance, also at elevated temperatures Low moisture uptake for good hot/wet strength retention Fully impregnated low void content unidirectional tapes for robust processing Inherently flame retardant Outstanding chemical and solvent resistance Market segments Medical Aircraft Interiors Aerostructures eVTOL / Urban Air Mobility Details Product category - Thermoplastic Prepregs & Laminates Processing - AFP/ATL Press forming Weldable Autoclave Resin type - PEEK Tg (Dry, onset) - 143 °C / 289 °F
