| PRIFORM® TOUGHENING
TECHNOLOGY |
<< Back |
Composite parts produced with resin infusion processes face challenges. Most resin infusion systems are inherently brittle and introducing toughening agents are historically expensive and time consuming. Cytec offers a system of materials to solve these issues. PRIFORM is a system of toughening fiber woven into the preform versus inserting the toughening agent into the resin.
PRIFORM allows resin infusion use on many part applications and has performance comparable to the toughened prepreg systems successfully used on damage-resistant parts for many years. Designed for the toughener to dissolve into the low-viscosity matrix resin, PRIFORM distributes its toughening characteristics throughout the part. PRIFORM: |
- Provides excellent structural performance
- Requires fewer fasteners and assembly steps from light weight, damage-resistant parts
- Offers superior flame, smoke and toxicity properties for interior applications
- Lowers manufacturing/assembly costs significantly

From wing spars to helicopter blades and metal fittings, resin infused components are now a design option for more areas of an aircraft — with all the weight-saving and cost benefits that advanced composite materials offer. Modern military and commercial aircraft are already using up to 25 percent composites by weight. With this new toughened resin infusion system, the percentage will continue to grow.
