Product description
Toray Cetex® TC1000 is a high-end thermoplastic composite, utilizing the amorphous PEI polymer for outstanding
toughness and an inherently outstanding fire, smoke, and toxicity performance (< 15/15 OSU).
With over 30 years in flight, Toray Cetex® TC1000 is utilized in a consistently growing number of applications. The
material has gained a wide array of qualifications at Airbus, Boeing, and many other airframe OEMs. Compared to its
semi-crystalline counterparts, Toray Cetex® TC1000 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® TC1000 is available as a UD tape and as a fabric prepreg with woven carbon, glass, or aramid
reinforcements. Laminates and prepregs are available in black, cream white, gray, and natural (amber) resin colors.
