Industrial Applications of Lightweight High Strength Composites

Download the PDF brochure for more information about Toray's high performance composite solutions.

Toray offers a range of different thermoplastic resins with composites for addressing key requirements in applications such as consumer electronics, oil and gas exploration, transportation, medical and recreational products.

Composites have become the material of choice as a result of their low weight, competitive cost, and unique performance attributes.

Performance Composites

Composites are corrosion resistant, capable of high-temperature performance, and can be used for metal replacement. Carbon fiber prepregs enable lightweight and high stiffness in applications ranging from oil and gas to recreational products.

The increased performance of carbon fiber combined with cost-effective tailored epoxy resins offers a low cost/high strength combination.

Thermoplastic reinforced composites provide users with the ability to manufacture high volumes with low-cost thermoforming processes. Figure 1 shows an application of performance composites.
