Toray TC410
Toray TC410 is Toray’s newest high performance cyanate ester resin system designed specifically for the latest generation of radomes and satellite structures. TC410 is unique in that it allows for low stress cures at 121°C (250°F) while achieving extremely low moisture absorption and high conversion levels. The lower cure temperature allows for lower stress in part fabrication. TC410 possesses all the key attributes for satellite use with good resistance to atomic radiation, low microcracking, and excellent resistance to process moisture. TC410 possesses low dielectric and loss tangents for radome usage. 121°C (250°F) Cure Toughened Cyanate Ester Resin System
