Toray Cetex® TC1225

Product description

Toray Cetex® TC1225 is a high-end thermoplastic composite material, utilizing a semi-crystalline low-melt PAEK resin
with excellent mechanical performance. The distinctive value of Toray Cetex® TC1225, over other composites with a
PAEK family matrix, is its superior processability, and excellent VBO (Vaccuum Bag Only) performance, due to a lowmelt
viscosity and reduction in processing temperature of up to 60°C (140°F)*. Toray Cetex® TC1225 doesn’t only yield a
high-quality product used in ATL/AFP processes, it also speeds up cycle times enabling cost-efficient production in all
available formats.

Additionally, Toray Cetex® TC1225 is an ideal composite to be overmolded with neat or short fiber reinforced PEEK resin,
creating a very strong bond. Overmolding, integrating continuous fiber reinforced composites in an injection molding
process, combines the strength of high-end composites with the design freedom and complexity of injection
molding parts.

Toray Cetex® TC1225 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. Glass scrim is also
applicable in structures made from UD tape.
