Cytec Selected To Support
Bombardier Aerospace Aircraft Programs
Woodland Park, New Jersey – February 2, 2010 – Cytec Industries
(NYSE:CYT) announced today that its Engineered Materials
division has been awarded contracts to supply carbon fiber
composite materials for major primary structures on Bombardier’s
new CSeries and Learjet 85 aircraft programs. Cytec was also
awarded a contract to supply a suite of advanced materials for
current Bombardier aircraft programs. Cytec expects the awards
to generate revenues of approximately $800 million over the next
ten years.
As the world’s third largest civil aircraft manufacturer,
Bombardier Aerospace high-performance products and services set
the standard of excellence in several markets, including
commercial and business aircraft. Bombardier is leveraging a
spectrum of Cytec Engineered Materials’ advanced composite
material solutions to support its aircraft programs by using
Cytec’s technologies to meet the aircraft’s advanced design
requirements and support Bombardier’s high-tech manufacturing
processes.
“We pride ourselves on the ability to deliver advanced material
solutions that address complex and varied customer
requirements,” states Bill Wood, President of Cytec Engineered
Materials. “We congratulate Bombardier for their intelligent
innovation in the use of advanced composite materials and
manufacturing technologies.”
CYCOM® 890, a liquid resin infusion system with excellent
hot/wet properties, will be used for the manufacturing of
structural elements of Bombardier’s CSeries aircraft wing. CYCOM
890’s performance characteristics widen the resin infusion
processing window and reduce fabrication risk of large and
complex structures. This material is manufactured at Cytec
Engineered Materials’ Wrexham, UK facility.
Bombardier Aerospace also selected additional materials from
Cytec’s comprehensive portfolio for the Learjet 85 aircraft
program’s primary and secondary structures.
