Carbon fiber composite Cetex® TC1100

fiberglassthermoplastic resinfor the aerospace industry

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 application 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 application in aerospace, Toray Cetex® TC1100 is often the material of choice for demanding industrial applications. 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. Product benefits/features Qualified and certified to aerospace OEM specifications Outstanding performance-to-cost ratio Service temperature can exceed Tg depending on part design Lightning strike material as well as galvanic corrosion protection can be incorporated on laminates Market segments Aircraft Interiors Aerostructures eVTOL / Urban Air Mobility
