Cytec's advanced materials focus specifically on meeting the needs and escalating performance requirements of the aerospace, automotive and other emerging composite markets.

"Increasing composites' capabilities will involve further advances and combinations of technologies to meet the performance, design innovations, higher throughput rates and cost requirements of the next generation of applications," said Carmelo LoFaro, Vice President Technology for Cytec's Aerospace and Industrial Materials.

Cytec will focus on key markets and technologies:

  • Aerospace: Cytec's industry-leading out of autoclave (OOA) product portfolio and PRISM® resin family.  

  • Automotive: Cytec's new HP-RTM product XMTR50TM resin system and rapid cure MTM® 23 resin system, as well as Cytec's automation manufacturing technology developments.

  • Tooling: Cytec will highlight its industry leading tooling material portfolio including brands such as CYFORM® and LTM® epoxy prepregs, DURATOOL® BMI prepreg and CB1100™ unique high-grade ceramic block.

  • Process Materials: Cytec will promote products for both prepreg and infusion processing, available as roll stock or tailored kits.

Visitors can learn more about how Cytec's products on the stand as demonstrated by:

  • An innovative decklid and spoiler tool and component for the 2014 NASCAR season manufactured by Composite Resources using Cytec's LTM® 12 and VTM® 264 FRB

  •  A tool from AIP Aerospace manufactured from Cytec DT® 450 showing high quality surface finish.

  • An Automated Fiber Placement  (AFP) panel manufactured by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics using Cytec's MTM® 45-1 Out of Autoclave materials demonstrating the elimination of tool side porosity, the capability of AFP for complex shape molding and the ability of primer and paint to resist any peeling after cure.
