Cutting Edge Materials for Aircraft Structures
With a broad portfolio of innovative products for fixed-wing aircraft, rotorcraft and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) aircraft structures, Syensqo’s aerospace solutions deliver a variety of benefits for today’s demanding applications. Our aircraft structural materials include cutting-edge thermoset and thermoplastic composites, adhesives, surfacing films and primers.
- CYCOM® Thermosets - From high-temperature structures to interior applications, CYCOM® products provide commercial airplane manufacturers with different options to support improved aircraft assembly, achieving crucial weight-saving advantages and performance benefits. CYCOM® offers enhanced reliability during processing and excellent structural performance.
- APC™ Thermoplastics - As a family of semi-crystalline thermoplastics, APCTM composite tapes for airframe needs possess outstanding flame, smoke and toxicity performance. These PAEK-based polymers are used to fabricate laminates and other aircraft structural components using a wide range of automated processing techniques, including press molding and AFP. These high-performance polymers also exhibit good creep and fatigue resistance.
- FM® Structural Film and Foam Adhesives - FM® adhesives are designed for metal-to-metal, composite-to-metal and composite-to-composite bonding across a variety of industries and are developed for the most stringent service environments, making them optimal commercial aircraft structural films.
- AeroPaste® - This new generation of epoxy-based structural paste adhesives provide film-like property and performance, comparable or superior to leading film adhesives on the market. They are designed specifically to enable rapid assembly and automation of aircraft structural components.
- FusePly™ Composite Bonding Technology - Fuseply™ enables the build of reliable, bonded composite aircraft structures using conventional manufacturing processes. Through covalently bonded structures, FusePly™ eliminates the need for numerous rivets and fasteners but also allows lower assembly time, improved reliability and design freedom.
- Ketaspire® PEEK - Ketaspire® PEEK delivers exceptional strength, which is particularly well-suited to the production of structural components for AAM and other aerospace applications. Ketaspire® PEEK is an ideal commercial aircraft polymer, thanks to its durability, reliability, and fatigue resistance that enables excellent design freedom, helping adhere to weight constraints and perform in the harsh environments of AAM applications.
- Torlon® PAI - Torlon® PAI provides lightweight solutions that reduce labor costs and improve production speed. Torlon® PAI also retains performance and mechanical properties at high temperatures, resists deformation and reduces noise and vibration in its host product, which is ideal for urban air travel.
