Nanocyl Broadens Portfolio of PREGCYL Carbon Nanotubes Prepreg Line
CNT-based Pre-preg Materials are Now Available for a Wider Range of Composite Applications
Sambreville, Belgium – September 11, 2009 – Nanocyl announced today it has
broadened its portfolio of PREGCYL™ pre-preg materials for advanced composite
applications.
PREGCYL is a family of carbon nanotube epoxy resin pre-pregs that add structural
conductivity, strength, durability and weight reduction to fiber-reinforced composite
materials used in aeronautic, automotive, marine and sports applications.
The new PREGCYL product line, announced at JEC this year, will now have more than
15 products, including new weavings, weights, and types of fibers such as aramid, HM
carbon, HT carbon, and glass.
With the addition of these new products developed for industrial and sport applications,
Nanocyl intends to become the preferred supplier for CNT-enhanced materials in the
composite materials industry.
“Offering our OEM customers a wider range of PREGCYL prepregs will help them to
better meet the global demand for producing higher-performing materials and products
at a lower total cost,” said Luca Mezzo, Nanocyl’s manager of R&D and business
development for structural composites.
“Other OEMS can benefit too,” Mezzo added. “Our PREGCYL prepregs can give them
the performance advantages of safety, conductivity and reinforcement they must have
for their rugged, lighter-weight composite applications.”
PREGCYL Materials
PREGCYL™ is one of three CNT product lines Nanocyl offers for high performance
composite parts and materials. The other two are EPOCYL™ and SIZICYL™.
EPOCYL™ is a family of carbon nanotube epoxy resin systems that add structural
conductivity, strength, durability and weight reduction to fiber-reinforced composite
materials used in aeronautic, automotive, marine and sports applications.
SIZCYL™ is a new generation of efficient, all-purpose sizing agents for infusion and
RTM composite manufacturing of aeronautic and sports applications. It serves as an
alternative to conventional solutions that affect resin viscosity.
