Toray Advanced Composites ("Toray"), a global leader in advanced composite materials, announces its Toray Cetex® TC1225 low-melt PAEK has achieved further National Center for Advanced Materials Performance (NCAMP) qualifications.
Toray has successfully qualified its high-performance Toray Cetex® LMPAEK™ TC1225/T300 fabric-based thermoplastic composite material, now available in the NCAMP database. The material is available in both semi-preg and large pre-consolidated reinforced thermoplastic composite laminate (RTL) formats, bringing versatility of design and processing options.
The fabric-based semi-preg offers customers design flexibility and expanded process window for manufacturing optimization, whilst the reinforced thermoplastic laminates can be supplied tailored to customer-specific thicknesses and orientation requirements. Laminates can also be configured to include integrated functionalities, such as lightning strike protection and galvanic corrosion protection, bringing further processing and functional benefits.
With FAA-accepted, statistically validated material property data now publicly available, customers can leverage NCAMP material, process specification, and design allowables to accelerate aircraft structural design and certification - reducing the time, cost, and risk traditionally associated with aircraft structure qualification. This milestone underscores the consistency and performance of Toray Cetex® while enabling broader industry adoption and streamlined integration into certified aircraft structures.
