Toray Advanced Composites presents the latest advancements in lightweight material solutions for future sustainable mobility applications at the highly anticipated JEC World 2022 exhibition (3-5 May) in Paris, the first in-person edition since 2019 (Hall 6, D28).
Exhibits on display include an urban air mobility aircraft pylon, made for the Joby eVTOL aircraft using Toray’s thermoset-based prepreg systems. Additionally, Toray will present the world’s first 100% thermoplastic composite Air Intake Bulkhead for the Rolls Royce UltraFan® Engine, manufactured using AFP technology.
Motorsport Materials on Display
Toray is also highlighting high performance materials for motorsport and industrial applications, including Toray AmberTool® HX56, which is now available in a heavyweight 990gsm reinforcement, enabling faster tool manufacture with exceptional handleability of processing and high quality surface finish.
Just Launched
At the show, Toray has also launched their Toray Cetex® LSP lightning strike protection system, developed for automated processing technologies including automated fiber placement (AFP) of thermoplastic uni-directional tape. Available with LMPAEK and PPS resin formulations, the LSP system enables a single shot consolidation of LSP functionality during AFP manufacture of thermoplastic components, further advancing the processing efficiencies of thermoplastic composite materials for aerostructures.
