At the JEC Europe 2015 exhibition in Paris, TenCate Advanced Composites will be highlighting their latest material innovations and technologies for aerospace, automotive and industrial markets.
“TenCate will launch several new high-grade products and will showcase a range of customer applications that utilise advanced composites of TenCate,” it said in a press release.At the JEC Europe 2015 exhibition in Paris, TenCate Advanced Composites will be highlighting their latest material innovations and technologies for#
Items displayed at the TenCate stand F-18, hall 7.3 include a full size Thales GD LiveTV triband radome, an Airbus Defense and Space next generation solar panel for future ESA missions using latest prepreg technology.
This triband radome allows commercial aircraft to provide internet connectivity with the K, Ku and Ka bands, to deliver as much signal bandwidth like speed and connectivity as much as possible.
It utilises TenCate TC250, an epoxy based thermoset prepreg with quartz fabric for improved performance whilst maintaining cost effectiveness and is 2.7 meters in length and 1.2 meters in width.
It will also showcase an Airbus A380 engine pylon cover manufactured by Daher Socata using TenCate Cetex thermoplastic composites.
This panel is made using TenCate Cetex thermoplastic composite materials, selected due to their impact resistance, fluid resistance, temperature behavior and FST properties.
The TenCate stand will also feature a showcase of thermoset and thermoplastic automotive pieces including the Kringlan thermoplastic hybrid rim for passenger cars.
Other products include TenCate Cetex TC1320 PEKK, a new thermoplastic composite aimed at commercial aircraft applications ranging from structural components to interiors.
According to TenCate, this high-grade TenCate Cetex material features flame retardancy, low moisture uptake, excellent resistance to solvents and outstanding toughness for impact resistance.
Another product, the TenCate Cetex TC912 is a PA6 thermoplastic for a range of structural and semi structural high volume automotive applications, offering improved mechanical properties and tailored fabric architecture, available in both woven and UD reinforcements.
TenCate TC275-1, a epoxy prepreg represents the latest generation of out of autoclave / vacuum processible structural prepregs of TenCate.
It is currently being used in general aviation and launch structure as a result of its ideal set of mechanical and handling properties.
The TenCate E760 is a highly toughened epoxy resin system with exceptional high temperature performance designed for use in mechanically demanding structural applications exposed to elevated temperatures.
Another product the Airbus Defense and Space ARA MK4 Solar Panel is a full scale next generation, state-of-the-art substrate panel technology for satellite solar arrays.
ARA Mk4 panels will be deployed on solar arrays for future European Space Agency missions and features the next generation of space prepregs developed by TenCate. (AR)
