A few days ago, Toray Advanced Composites announced that its prepreg resin system has passed SFI 56.1 and UL94 V0 flame retardant certification to meet Formula One racing, NASCAR racing, other premium cars and racing cars. The strict requirements of the market.
Toray's TC346 prepreg resin system is a high-temperature epoxy resin system developed by Toray and professionals from the world's leading racing and automobile manufacturers. Toray uses this resin for the engineering manufacture of gearboxes, suspensions and other components that have high requirements on working temperature and toughness in racing cars.
Steven Mead, Operations Director of Toray Advanced Composites, said: "I am very pleased that the TC346 resin system has achieved flame retardant certification. This outstanding performance positions TC346 as an" inevitable choice "composite material, which can enable the performance of high-performance racing cars. obvious improvement."
Mead emphasized that Toray will produce the prepreg in the United Kingdom and the United States to strengthen the company's technical support for the racing markets of these two countries.
Toray's TC346 prepreg resin system has excellent compressive strength, interlaminar shear strength and optimized high temperature tensile strength, can provide excellent surface finish, and simplifies the prepreg placement and curing process by controlling resin flow . Other racing components that have higher requirements for light weight and high toughness characteristics will also benefit from the excellent performance of TC346. In addition, applications requiring higher glass transition temperature, excellent compressive strength, and high fracture toughness can also be improved with this prepreg resin. TC346 can be used for the production of various unidirectional belts and fabric prepregs.
