Toray Cetex® MC1100
- Chemical Family
- Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS)
Toray Toray Cetex® MC1100 PPS is a thermoplastic bulk molding compound (BMC) based upon Toray Cetex® TC1100 PPS thermoplastic uni-directional tape. Toray Cetex® MC1100 PPS is offered on standard-modulus fibers in lengths of up to 25.4 mm (1”). Intermediate-modulus fibers and alternative lengths may also be available. Thermoplastic bulk molding compound allows part fabrication with short cycle times. Many composite compression molded parts are used to replace metal parts for weight savings or replace plastic injection molded parts where higher strengths or stiffness are required. Toray Cetex® MC1100-4A, PPS, 25.4 mm (1”) represents standard-modulus AS-4 fiber chopped to 25.4 mm (1”) in length.
