Toray Advanced Composites (TAC, Nijverdal, The Netherlands) has launched the Toray Cetex TC1130 PESU (PolyEtherSulphone) thermoplastic composite. This high-performance material is specifically engineered to address the growing need for lightweight and environmentally sustainable materials in aircraft interior applications.
Suited for monolithic and thermoplastic-based sandwich panel constructions, Toray Cetex TC1130 PESU continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite enables the creation of mono-material sandwich structures when combined with core materials of the same chemistry. Compared to materials currently used, this not only achieves additional weight savings and cost-effective postprocessing, but also ensures fully recyclable homogeneous sandwich structures, according to the company. Additionally, Toray Cetex TC1130 offers optimal fire, smoke and toxicity (FST) performance, high impact resistance and toughness, which are essential for demanding interior applications.
Marc Huisman, director research and development, Toray Advanced Composites Europe, states: “As a leading material supplier, we understand the challenges faced by the aerospace industry to achieve full circularity.” Toray’s global technical and commercial teams are ready to support immediate demand for Toray Cetex TC1130.
