We Make you Mobile
Advanced composites from Toray protect mobile devices, keeping them on the move. Lightweight, thin, strong, scratch resistant, fire retardant, and cosmetically appealing, thermoplastic composites from Toray are the cost-effective casing solution for the next generation of electronics.
Materials for a Digital World
Toray offers innovative, lightweight, and cost-effective solutions for the next generation of electronics.
Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastics (CFRT®) from Toray integrate with high-volume manufacturing processes including one-shot compression molding and injection overmolding to deliver tough, protective, and cosmetically superior structural enclosures for laptops, handheld devices, and tablets.
With production facilities in North America, Europe, and Asia, Toray is capable of supporting the needs of turnkey manufacturing on a global scale.
Composite Materials for Consumer Electronics
Toray continually invests in product development, remaining on the leading edge of composite manufacturing for the consumer electronics industry. Properties of our materials include:
Engineered Reinforced Orientation
The fiber architecture of Toray CFRT consolidated thermoplastic laminates is designed to our customers' detailed specifications, optimizing strength and stiffness. Uni-directional tapes are used for strength in specific directions while fabrics provide the bulk necessary for part rigidity.
High Strength
Toray CFRT® thermoplastic laminates contain durable carbon fiber for high-strength performance while the thermoplastic resin matrix provides impact resistance, UL-94 flammability standard retardancy, and an appealing surface finish.
Thermal Barrier
Today’s laptops run hotter, leaving metal bases transferring heat to a user’s lap. Toray’s thermoplastic composites dissipate heat, allowing for a cooler base and greater comfort during laptop use.
High Volume Production
Toray’s CFRT® thermoplastic laminates can easily facilitate production volumes of 100,000 units or more. Fiber reinforced thermoplastic laminates are heat formed in minutes to their final shape, allowing completion details such as ribs, clips, and brackets to be injection overmolded into the final part shape.
Recyclable
As stewards of the environment, Toray developed its thermoplastic composites to be recovered for use in alternate parts, allowing 100% utilization of the raw material. Toray actively participates in programs with customers and research groups to develop new recycling techniques and applications.Resources
