Toray Cetex® TC960

Chemical Family: PolyolefinsPolypropylenes (PP)

Toray Toray Cetex® TC960 is a polypropylene-based thermoplastic uni-directional tape. It is part of Toray’s CFRT® (continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic) line of industrial thermoplastic composites. This thermoplastic composite is designed for Applicationss that require high impact resistance, but where cost is a factor. The impact toughness of glass fiber/ polypropylene composites make them ideal for use in truck bodies, vehicles, and vehicle enclosures. Polypropylene Thermoplastic Composite. Indefinite at 25°C (77°F).
