COMPANY PROFILE
<< Table of Contents
TenCate
TenCate is a leading supplier of specialty materials ranging
from ballistic armor protection to advanced composites to
geosynthetics. TenCate, a company with a rich 300+ year
history, employs over 3,500 personnel in 15 countries. All
groups focus heavily on innovation and on delivering value
through materials technology.
Ten Cate Advanced Composites
Ten Cate Advanced Composites (TCAC) operates two prepreg
facilities in the United States and one in The Netherlands.
Our aerospace facilities are approved with ISO9001:2000
and AS9100:2004 Rev B approvals. The corporate office for
TCAC-USA along with manufacturing is located in Morgan
Hill, CA which is close to our Fairfield, CA prepreg facilities.
The European corporate office and manufacturing is located
in Nijverdal, The Netherlands. Each of these facilities has full
capability for the production of high performance materials.
Both sites in the U.S. maintain carbon-free areas for the
production of low-dielectric materials used in radomes and
communication composite structure.

The advantage to our customers is having experience that
aligns with their needs.
TenCate has a long history of contributions in the aerospace
industry. TenCate is the leading thermoplastic prepreg
supplier on each A350 and A380. We are qualified and used on
Airbus, Boeing and Embraer aircraft, from exterior structural
assemblies to interiors.
Our mission is to be the most responsive, technology
driven, global prepreg supplier with outstanding technical
and commercial customer support, always exceeding in
customer’s technology, quality and service expectations.
Our focus on solutions and material systems has proven
invaluable in key market segments such as satellites,
radomes, UAV’s and general aviation. We have the most
modern prepreg equipment in the world, and combine this
with responsive customer support and leading product
technologies.

Our www.tencate.com website provides our customers
with easy access to product data, MSDS’s, and literature.
Prepreg Technology
TCAC has expertise and experience in both thermoset and
thermoplastic prepregs. Our thermoset product lines are
based upon cyanate esters, BMI’s, polyimides and epoxy
resins serving high end aerospace applications.
TCAC utilizes high precision film prepregging capability for the
manufacture of tightly controlled resin-content thermoset
prepregs. As the aerospace industry shifts to highly
automated tape laying and fiber placement, resin content and
fiber areal weight control becomes critical to enable these
advanced manufacturing processes.
Recent Investments
Over the last several years, TenCate has made significant
investments in both capabilities and capacity to serve
the growing composite usage in aerospace. This ensures
TenCate’s leading position in aerospace grade thermoplastic
advanced materials.
Bulk Molding Compounds and Special Resin Technology
TenCate acquired YLA, Inc. and CCS Composites. YLA, Inc.
provides specialty resin technology with leading positions
in satellite and high temperature prepregs. CCS Composites
produces both bulk molding compounds with high modulus
carbon and glass fiber. Also part design and fabrication
services are offered. Composite compression molded
parts are in demand as composites move into fuselage and
wings, and many of the smaller complex metal parts shift to
composites for weight reduction and resistance to galvanic
corrosion. Our techniques provide performance with long fiber
molding materials that enable breakthrough applications.
TenCate prepregs are used on almost every Western
world satellite program. Applications include solar
arrays, antennas and dimensionally stable structures.
TenCate’s epoxy prepregs are used on leading UAV
programs for wing, fuselage, radome and control
surfaces.
In aircraft, TenCate prepregs are used in applications
ranging from radomes to interiors, to structural
components.
TenCate out of autoclave epoxy prepregs are used in
general aviation for primary and secondary structure.

AIRCRAFT
Thermoplastic and Epoxy Prepregs
TenCate has the most flight experience with out of autoclave
prepregs. Tencate’s out of autoclave epoxy prepregs are
used to manufacture composite fuselages, wings and control
surfaces. TenCate’s precision filming capability and resin
chemistry allows cost effective out of autoclave vacuum bag
processing to improve part throughput and productivity.
Prepregs of TenCate are used in general aviation,
commercial and military aircraft, and helicopter
construction.
TenCate’s Cetex® thermoplastic composites have been used
for primary, secondary and tertiary structures for many years,
and are qualified at major aircraft manufacturers.
TenCate participates in the development of next
generation composite aircraft.

SPACE & SATELLITE
High reliability strucural materials
TenCate materials are widely used on satellite and space
structures and antennae as a result of their performance
characteristics and successful flight history. TenCate
materials have been used on almost every satellite program in
the Western world.
The rigors of space require that prepregs and related
materials must withstand exposure to extreme temperature
cycling and radiation while resisting micro cracking and
outgassing. TenCate materials have been approved for
satellite usage and when combined with ultra high modulus
fibers and specialty weaves, make the strongest and lightest
weight structures.
TenCate prepregs, resins, syntactics and film adhesives are
primarily used on bus structure, solar panels, reflectors and a
variety of booms, tubes and trusses. TenCate’s line of cyanate
ester prepregs provide the ultimate performance, while our
epoxy products meet the requirements for space flight while
providing a more cost effective alternative to cyanate ester
materials
Satellite composite structure must endure extremely
harsh environments and thermal cycling. TenCate’s
technology in low-outgassing, dimensionally-stable, low
moisture prepregs allow the highest performance with
unmatched reliability.

RADOMES
Competitive-edge components
TenCate materials have been used for over twenty years on a
variety of military and commercial aircraft radomes as well as
in antenna structure. Materials used in radome construction
must be free of carbon fiber constructive particles and are
made at TenCate in specialized carbon-free areas. Most
reinforcements are glass, quartz, polyethylene or aramidbased.
Radomes are designed for transmission efficiency. TenCate
materials used in radome construction possess low dielectric
constants and low moisture absorption allowing increased
efficiency from the antenna and exhibit low loss tangents
offering very low resistance to electrical energy.
Low Dielectric Materials
TenCate low dielectric epoxies and cyanate ester
prepregs are used in both commercial and military
aircraft as well as defense and ship radar structure.

Fire retardant structural materials
TenCate’s Cetex® PPS and PEI based thermoplastic laminates
and unitapes are used in a wide variety of aircraft structure
ranging from floor panels, keel beams, luggage bins and
galley’s. Thermoplastics offer very low FST properties, are
easily formable and offer productivity savings with short
mold cycles, high quality finishes off tool, excellent moisture
resistance and durability.
Lightweight option used on current commercial aircraft.
TenCate Cetex® PEI skins
TenCate Cetex System3 panels represent honeycomb
core stiffened panels based upon thermoplastic skins,
thermoplastic honeycomb core and thermoplastic adhesives.
These honeycomb stiffened panels are used for flooring,
seating plynths, galley’s and luggage bins. They possess high
strength, lightweight, formability with heat while being fire
resistant for interior applications
