Toray MicroPly™ TCF4001

Toray Toray MicroPly™ TCF4001 cyanate ester syntactic foam is unique in the industry due to its combination of low density and good structural properties. The material does not require pressure during cure to achieve its mechanical properties, and can be machined to shape if required. Toray MicroPly™ TCF4001 can be packed into tooling cavities. 177°C (350°F) Cure, Cyanate Ester Syntactic Foam.

Storage & Handling

Shelf Life
  • Out Life: 14 days out life ≤ 21°C (70°F) and ≤ 60% RH
  • Frozen Storage Life: 6 months at ≤-18°C (≤ 0°F)

Out life is the maximum time allowed at 21°C (70°F) or below and 60% or less RH before cure, after a single frozen storage cycle in the original unopened packaging at -18°C (0°F) or below for a period not exceeding the frozen storage life noted above.
