Pioneering Change for the World for Over 100 Years

This year, Toray celebrates its 100^th anniversary. Visit booth L8 to explore how Toray composite material solutions help reduce weight, decrease fuel consumption, and improve strength, safety, and comfort across industries, demonstrating the centennial theme, “Pioneering Change for the World.”

Toray will display a comprehensive range of future-forward composite materials engineered to advanced sustainability, energy, mobility, and quality of life.

 Highlights include:

• A composite fan containment case that demonstrates how the TORAYCA^™ T700 carbon fiber contoured braided fabric provides resistance to crack propagation.
• An engine vane made with Toray Cetex^® TC1200 thermoplastic composite materials that features the ability to cut engine weight by up to 60% and improve fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and enhanced engine performance.
• A complex demonstrator for processing thermoplastics, cyanate esters, epoxy and fiberglass solutions for next-generation space and defense applications.
• An aircraft seatback demonstrator with new Toray Cetex^® TC1005, our latest PEI-based thermoplastic composite material designed to deliver an outstanding balance of performance and value.
• A Franklin Sports C45° Pro Carbon Paddle engineered for elite performance with premium TORAYCA^™ T700 carbon fiber with advanced carbon layup for exceptional consistency in energy return and spin.
• A sample of the bio-based EcoTerra^™ composite material for consumer products

In addition to the exhibition, Toray technical experts are set to present on several technical sessions and conference panels as listed below.

• “Thermoplastic composites: The connector material across industries” with Jason Gabriel on Tuesday, April 28^th at 1 pm local time.
• “TC1810 pre-ceramic resin for ablative composites and extreme environments” by Chantel Camardese on Tuesday, April 28^th at 3:30 pm local time.
