Toray Advanced Composites, a leading innovator in advanced material technology, today announces the launch of Toray Cetex TC1130 PESU thermoplastic composite material. This high-performance thermoplastic composite material is specifically engineered to address the growing need for lightweight and environmentally sustainable materials in aircraft interior applications, offering significant benefits to the aerospace industry.

Suited for monolithic and thermoplastic-based sandwich panel constructions, Toray Cetex TC1130 PESU (PolyEtherSulphone) 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 post-processing, but also ensures fully recyclable homogeneous sandwich structures. Additionally, Toray Cetex TC1130 offers excellent fire, smoke, and toxicity (FST) performance, outstanding impact resistance, and toughness, which are essential for demanding interior applications.

“We are excited to share our latest product development with the world,” states Marc Huisman, Director Research and Development, Toray Advanced Composites Europe. “As a leading material supplier, we understand the challenges faced by the aerospace industry to achieve full circularity. We’re proud to continue our long legacy of material technology innovation by bringing this latest generation of sustainable material solutions to market”.

Toray Advanced Composites' global technical and commercial teams are ready to support immediate demand for Toray Cetex TC1130.
