Cytec Introduces New Resin Infusion Process

Composite material specialist Cytec Engineered Products (Chalet C4-5) has two factory expansion projects under way. The company is also here at the Farnborough International Airshow discussing a new process that combines low-cost manufacturing and the ability to produce primary structure components.

The first project is the restart of a plan to expand carbon fiber manufacturing at its Piedmont, South Carolina facility. The expansion will double Cytec’s capacity for polyacrylonitrile-based (PAN-based) carbon fiber production.
