Process Materials
Cytec offers a comprehensive range of composites processing materials and consumables optimised for the high-performance Automotive market. Cytec supports its customers by providing tailor-made kitted solutions which offer time and cost savings through excellent process repeatability and reduced wastage.
Our broad expertise in the development of single-use tailored vacuum bags through to reusable vacuum systems, including standard and heated bag solutions, has enabled us to provide innovative curing technology to support autoclave and oven vacuum bag prepreg moulding. These systems offer reduced costs by lowering cycle times and energy consumption.
Composite Tooling
Cytec innovation extends to providing a complete solution to the customer part manufacturing experience. As such, we not only offer the structural materials and their process consumables, but also a complete range of composite tooling solutions. Our tooling prepregs offer outstanding surface finish and longevity for the manufacture of complex mould tools. Our design service can support tool design optimisation to ensure a fit-for-purpose solution. In addition we offer soft tooling technology including reusable vacuum bags, integral heater blankets, intensifiers and caul sheets.
