Coupled with dedicated mechanical testing capabilities, flexible lead times and ready supply, we are your winning partner in high performance motorsport.
Why TORAY Materials?
We have a broad range of composite material solutions to suit a diverse range of requirements within the Formula 1 and high-end motorsport market.
Impact Resistant
The high-energy absorption properties of our composite materials provide a highly optimized, lightweight solution for crash structures. Our composite material portfolio includes Federation Internationale de L'Automobile-approved materials for use within crash impact structures and mechanically demanding structural applications.
Energy Absorbing
Today's F1 race cars must withstand strict standards for impact resistance and energy absorption. Our materials are designed to minimize the effect of crashes on drivers and occupants by absorbing the impact as it slows the vehicle.
Ease of Lamination and Handling
Our prepreg systems for the F1 and automotive racing industry are designed to allow easy lay-up and fast cures for rapid processing and turnaround times.
Bondable to Core
Our prepreg systems are designed to bond to the core using only the matrix resin, thus reducing overall weight while maximizing production and design efficiencies.
Toray Composite Materials for F1 and Motor Sports
NANOALLOY™ technology is an innovative microstructure control technology. We own the basic patent, core process patents and utility patents.
