Our Ultra-High Temperature Composites
Toray’s line of cyanate esters, polyimides, and BMIs perform exceptionally in extreme aerospace and defense operating temperatures in excess of 260–371°C (500–700°F). These thermally stable materials replace traditional titanium and other metals, offering increased design flexibility and significant weight savings.
- Jet engines, ducts and stators
- Leading edges on hypersonic vehicles
- Heat shields and heat protection systems
- Rocket engine nozzles, thrusters and powerplants
- Titanium replacement in aircraft and launch vehicles
- High temperature composite tooling
Toray polyimides are developed in partnership with PROOF Research's P2Si division, making us the exclusive aerospace prepreg provider for PROOF Research's polyimide resin systems.
Features
Toray delivers a full range of thermoset resin technologies, making it easy for you to choose a tailored resin/fiber combination that meets your performance, design and processing needs.
High Service Temperature
Our ultra-high temperature prepreg systems utilize BMIs, cyanate esters and polyimides for high-temperature jet engine applications. Capable of service temperatures up to 371°C/700°F, these resin systems are provided in prepreg form on carbon or ceramic fabrics.
Lightweight
Our composite materials offer significant weight savings over titanium for use in jet engine components, heat shields and missile leading edges.
Resists Microcracking
Our ultra-high temperature polyimides, BMIs and cyanate esters are designed to resist thermal oxidation and resist microcracking in extreme environments.

Toray’s Resin Transfer Molding Resins
Toray offers a select line of epoxy and cyanate ester resins for resin transfer molding. Resin transfer molding provides customers with a lower cost fabrication method for building high performance composite structure. These resins feature long pot lives for large part fabrication, and low minimum viscosities for optimum fiber and laminate wet out. Resin transfer molding offers manufacturing flexibility over prepregs by allowing users to work with dry fibers/fabrics and preforms. RTM resins are provided in one-part (catalyzed) or in two-part form.
Resin transfer molding (RTM) resins are offered in one- and two-part forms and with either epoxy or cyanate ester resin systems. Epoxy systems are toughened for impact damage resistance on aircraft structures. Cyanate ester resins are low in outgassing and low loss for space and radome applications.

Cost-Effective Processing
Resin transfer molding provides an economical alternative to prepreg in that the resins are separate from the dry fiber pre-forms. As such, there may be cost efficiencies for multiple part production.
Lightweight
Resin transfer molding (RTM) provides the benefits of lightweight carbon fiber construction similar to utilizing prepregs.
Molding
The resin transfer molding process (RTM) involves injecting a low viscosity resin into a dry fiber pre-form in a closed molding process. Once optimized, this RTM process can provide very repeatable, high-quality part fabrication.
