Toray Cetex® TC1320 New
- Chemical Family
- Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK)
Toray Toray Cetex® TC1320 New is a high-end thermoplastic composite material, utilizing the semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer PEKK for excellent elevated service performance. Qualified for use in aerostructures, this material has a proven applicability in aerospace. Toray Cetex® TC1320 offers outstanding mechanical performance and good hot/wet strength. The semi-crystalline nature of the resin ensures an excellent resistance to chemicals and solvents, and an equally superior performance in flammability properties. Toray Cetex® TC1320 is available as a UD tape, a fabric prepreg, and as reinforced thermoplastic laminates (RTLs) of varying thicknesses. RTLs can be equipped with lightning strike protection, and carbon reinforced RTLs can be supplied with a thin glass top layer to protect a partly metallic assembly against galvanic corrosion. Glass scrim is also applicable in structures made from UD tape. PEKK (PolyEtherKetoneKetone) Thermoplastic Resin System.
