Achieved aerospace approval for resin system by Syensqo and Teijin Carbon

The National Centre for Advanced Materials Performance (NCAMP) at Wichita State University has made a significant stride in the field of out-of-autoclave (OoA) resin infusion solutions. They have released the full documentation package for a new resin infusion material, PRISM EP2400, which is now publicly available. This marks the first resin infusion material to be added to the NCAMP database.

Syensqo, a company specialising in advanced materials, has received the FAA-supported NCAMP certification for the PRISM EP2400 epoxy resin system. The qualification is supported by a publicly available NCAMP Material Property Data Report and is recognised by both the FAA and EASA. It is formalised under material specification NMS 241 and process specification NPS 82401.

PRISM EP2400 is a one-part, low reactive system, developed for global shipping by sea, land, or air. It boasts a long and stable pot life, making it ideal for large or complex structure infusions. The system is also toughened and damage tolerant, suitable for high-performance applications. Its low viscosity enables robust and repeatable resin transfer processing.

In a related development, the NCC has adopted the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud, and its use is extended to other innovation centres within the UK High Value Manufacturing Catapult network. This move is aimed at addressing the gap in public NCAMP allowables for OoA resin infusion solutions. The adoption of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform leads to its extension to other innovation centres within the network.

Dassault Systèmes has also adopted the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud, paving the way for its use by the innovation centres within the UK High Value Manufacturing Catapult network, including the NCC. This cloud-based platform is set to revolutionise the way these centres operate, streamlining their processes and enhancing collaboration.

In conclusion, the qualification of PRISM EP2400 and the adoption of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud by the NCC and other innovation centres within the UK High Value Manufacturing Catapult network mark significant milestones in the advancement of OoA resin infusion solutions and digital manufacturing, respectively. These developments are expected to have a profound impact on the industry, driving innovation and efficiency in the production of high-performance materials.
