Resin and fibre experts target future aerospace applications
Thursday, 20 October 2022
The collaboration is intended to improve the supply chain by uniting Specialty's boron fibre with Toray's carbon fibres and resin systems including toughened epoxies, cyanate esters, bismaleimides and polyimides.

Toray Advanced Composites has strengthened its commercial partnership with Specialty Materials. The joint collaboration is intended to improve the supply chain by uniting Specialty's boron fibre with Toray Composite Materials America's domestically produced high-strength intermediate modulus carbon fibres T1100G and a variety of Toray Advanced Composites' resin systems including toughened epoxies, cyanate esters, bismaleimides, and polyimides for the Specialty Materials' Gen 2 Hy-Bor product family.

The next-generation product family is a high-performance hybrid prepreg tailored to enhance the structural efficiency of composite structures such as spars, longerons, rotors, and control surfaces for aerospace applications by tuning compression and stiffness properties. “Our relationship with Toray Advanced Composites has enabled this unique prepreg portfolio which provides engineering teams new options for optimising performance of composite structures,” says Monica Rommel, CEO of Specialty Materials.

This commercial partnership enables engineers to easily control and manage key variables for unique solution innovations with domestically produced high-quality products within the US supply chain. “Toray Advanced Composites partnership with Specialty Materials leverages both companies' technologies to tailor a solution to the most demanding applications,” adds Joe Morris, Director of DoD programs from Toray Advanced Composites.
