production and products The Space & aerospace group has production facilities in europe (nijverdal) and the United States (morgan Hill and Benicia, California). The companies are: TenCate advanced Composites, phoenix, YLa and CCS Composites. In the US the emphasis is on applications in space, civil aviation, the market for business jets and defence. In Morgan Hill they make thermoset prepregs and thermoplastic unidirectional (UD) prepregs. This tape technology complements existing production processes for composites and produces extra savings in production, thanks to the possibility for automation that it provides. UD tape is especially suitable for fuselage and wings, due to it optimal mechanical properties: for example, stiffness, strength, thermal and electrical conductivity, chemical and UV resistance and fire safety. This technology will make it possible in the near future to build for instance a light fuselage made of thermoplastic composite. Fire safety is a key design criterion for fuselages. The development of UD tape technology has enabled TenCate to strengthen its position in the aviation sector. Design techniques Benicia produces thermoset prepregs, chopped moulding compounds and compression-moulded aerospace parts for the aviation industry.
