Product description
Toray Cetex® TC1130 is a high-end thermoplastic composite, utilizing the amorphous PolyEtherSulphone (PESU) polymer for outstanding toughness and an inherently outstanding fire, smoke, and toxicity performance (< 15/15 OSU).
It is ideally suited as the skin component of sandwich panels, and can be combined with core materials of the same
chemistry to create fully recyclable monomaterial sandwich structures. PESU can also be used in monolithic designs.
Compared to its semi-crystalline counterparts, Toray Cetex® TC1130 can be used to achieve even shorter cycle times
in part production. The material exhibits a superior bondability, which makes it very suitable for hybrid assemblies
consisting of different materials.
Toray Cetex® TC1130 is available as a fabric prepreg with a woven glass reinforcement. It is typically supplied in preconsolidated reinforced thermoplastic laminates (RTLs) of varying thicknesses.
