Cygnet Texkimp is already one of the largest suppliers of thermoset prepreg technologies to the global aerospace sector, but now we are also making high-performance thermoplastics viable in mainstream automotive and industrial markets with the first commercially-available, high-volume thermoplastic processing lines in the world. We are continually developing our prepreg capability and solutions for the many industries who want to improve performance by harnessing the full potential of composite technology at a sensible cost and workable rate of production.

TCR Towpregs feature a patented thermoset resin system, storable at room temperature, that can be used with virtually any continuous fiber reinforcement. TCR Towpregs are designed for high throughput (up to 900 ft or 275 m per minute) for filament winding applications. Tow can be impregnated utilizing 6K to 60K standard modulus to high modulus carbon fibers as well as glass, basalt and aramid with equivalent cross sections. TCR resins are matched with industry fibers to provide optimal performance. Each fiber has unique properties and may require a specific resin to achieve maximum performance. From high-performance rocket-motor cases to the highest quality commercial pressure cylinders, TCR Towpregs are the material of choice for pressure vessels and are used in a variety of markets including aerospace, defense, industrial, infrastructure, recreation and marine.

TCR’s line of carbon unidirectional tapes features a patented thermoset epoxy resin system with extended out-times at room temperature. Customer may specify resin types, resin content and fiber areal weights (FAW) from 150 to 600 gsm. Uni-tapes are available with poly backing. Reinforcements may be selected from various carbon fiber suppliers. Unidirectional tapes are fibers impregnated with a resin matrix; all fibers run in the same direction. They can be made in a variety of weights and thicknesses to meet customer requirements. TCR commercial grade prepreg uni-tapes are ideal for fabricating composite products that require long lay-up times and thick laminate construction. Uni-tapes are well-suited for recreation, infrastructure, industrial and medical applications.

ND Precision Products are press tool manufacturers of all types of custom press tools, from single stage operation press tooling to multi stage progression press tool. Our experienced team of press toolmakers provide a competitively priced toolmaking service with high priority turn around times if required. We can manufacture tools up to 2 tonnes in weight.

Pressure sensing elements are sometimes referred to as oil filled capsules, piezoresistive pressure capsules or pressure transducer capsules. The sensing element consists of a convolute diaphragm and a small amount of oil to transfer the pressure applied on the diaphragm to the piezo resistive sensing element. The oil can be silicone, or food grade depending on liquid or gas to be measured. Due to their compact size, the pressure sensing elements can be embedded into meters or measuring instruments. There are several output options including mV, amplified or digital I2C or SPI. The digital output pressure sensing elements can have a dual output of temperature and pressure and low power options are available for battery powered applications. Custom solutions can be provided.

We develop a range of composite pressure vessels for the storage of high pressure gas, including bespoke hydrogen storage solutions

The PrintoLUX® Signo is an industrial colour marking system that enables businesses to produce durable, chemical-resistant labels, asset tags and safety signage on demand. Using a unique thermal printing process, it prints directly onto metal, plastic and foil materials, creating high-resolution, full-colour markings that are resistant to UV exposure, chemicals, abrasion and harsh outdoor environments. Designed for manufacturing, utilities, energy, chemical processing, food production and other demanding industries, the PrintoLUX® Signo eliminates the need to outsource industrial signage. Users can create custom labels, equipment identification, pipe markers, control panel labels, cable markers and compliance signage in-house, reducing lead times while maintaining professional, long-lasting results.

PRO-SET® composite products include a specialist range of epoxy systems from infusion epoxies and wet lay-up systems to adhesives, accessories and fairing compounds. PRO-SET products are used for building high-performance, lightweight composite structures that can withstand the harshest environments. From automotive parts to wind turbine blades to hi-tech hulls, PRO-SET epoxy can enhance the strength and durability of practically any composite component. Designed for use in wet lay-up procedures involving woven and multi-axial glass, aramid, carbon-fibre and hybrid fabrics, our PRO-SET resin-hardener combinations have been formulated specifically for laminating, infusion, tooling and assembly. As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, the range has recently been reformulated and expanded to better meet the demands of modern composite manufacturing. All the new formulations offer improved handling characteristics with excellent cure profiles and are designed to enable companies to rapidly fulfill orders very competitively. If these standard formulations do not match your precise requirements we are able, as part of the Wessex Resins & Adhesives Group, to work with you to create custom epoxy systems which exactly meet your requirements. Turnaround times are fast and more significantly, we are able to provide customised PRO-SET formulations in relatively small volumes.
