Cytec Industries Inc., will be exhibiting a range of advanced composite and process material at SAMPE’s Spring Conference in Long Beach, California from 6-9 May, where visitors can learn more about the composite manufacturer’s materials and associated businesses. 

Cytec’s booth will have information about its state-of-the-art prepreg and resin systems, including CYCOM, LTM, VTM, MTM and HTM, in- and out-of-autoclave products, and PRISM resin infusion systems, as well as SURFACEMASTER advanced surfacing films and the BR water-based primer. The company will also showcase a wide range of premier vacuum bagging consumables for aerospace and industrial markets.

Cytec will feature a single-piece air extractor (hood scoop) used on General Motors’ 2012MY Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.  Manufactured by deBotech Inc. using Cytec’s MTM 57 series carbon fibre reinforced epoxy prepreg, the air extractor was formed on Cytec’s low temperature moulding LTM 12 tooling material.  MTM57 is said to have been chosen for its exceptional resin clarity and ability to produce an aesthetically-pleasing, rigid structure directly from the mould, with minimal reworking requirements.

Cytec will also showcase its newest corrosion-inhibiting, modified-epoxy bonding primer, BR 252, which is specifically formulated to address emerging environmental, health and safety standards.  BR 252 is said to provide excellent adhesion and corrosion protection and mechanical properties equal to solvent-based primer systems. Cytec says it is compatible with most 121°C - 177°C curing adhesives and has a wide curing window and long out time.

Cytec provides advanced composite and process materials for aerospace, automotive, wind energy, motorsport, marine, mass transportation and other demanding applications. The company’s focus on technology and application expertise allows customers to adopt more efficient manufacturing approaches. Its product portfolio supports the end-to-end manufacturing of composite parts and includes tooling, fiber, prepregs, resin systems, vacuum bagging, adhesives and surfacing films.
