Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : First NCAMP approval for VARTM with Tenax™ dry reinforcements

 Today's KNOWLEDGE Share

🚀 First NCAMP approval for VARTM with Tenax™ dry reinforcements


Together with Syensqo, we have reached an important milestone:

Our Tenax™ IMS65 E23 24K non-crimp fabrics (NCF) and unidirectional (UD) reinforcements, when used with Syensqo's PRISM® EP2400 epoxy resin system, have been approved by NCAMP for the vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) infusion method. It is the first process and material approval of its kind.



The advantages:


🔹Out-of-autoclave processing with autoclave-like performance

🔹High fiber content with near-zero void content

🔹A long shelf life for preforms, which is ideal for large, complex components

🔹Global availability of all components by sea, land, or air

🔹Accelerated FAA certification with publicly available B-basis airworthiness values


Special thanks go to our partner, the Advanced Composites Institute (MSU-ACI) at Mississippi State University, which played a key role in validating process robustness and material consistency.


With this certification, we offer OEMs and suppliers a scalable, forward-looking alternative to traditional prepreg processing. Together with Syensqo, we open up new possibilities for efficient and sustainable manufacturing in the aerospace industry.
