March 4th, 2014 – Woodland Park, NJ - Cytec Industries Inc. (CYT) will be exhibiting at JEC Europe 2014, Paris, on Stand D17, Pavilion 7.3 and showcasing its latest technology portfolio developments.Visitors can learn more about how Cytec's state-of-the-art prepreg, resin system and adhesive technologies reduce weight and increase performance in extreme demand applications. For aerospace applications, Cytec will feature CYCOM® and MTM® out-of-autoclave products and PRISM® resin infusion systems.  These products support the industry's need for increased flexibility in composites part manufacturing.  Also featured are the SURFACE MASTER® advanced surfacing films and the BR® water-based primers.Cytec will also be launching new products and accompanying technologies for the Serial Automotive market.XMTR50, our new, two part component epoxy resin system, was developed specifically for the high rate manufacture of components using a High Pressure Resin Transfer Moulding (HP-RTM) process, which enables the manufacture of components in 3 minutes at 120° C for a 135° C Tg.MTM® 23, the industry's first application of a volatile-organic compound (VOC)-free thermoset vinyl hybrid resin woven glass reinforced prepreg, enables the manufacture of parts by press moulding in 5 minutes or less.Cytec's automation manufacturing technologydevelopments demonstrate the cost effectiveness of serial automotive manufacturing through a repeatable and robust automation process while using rapid cure materials.These new automotive focused products come at a time when Cytec is preparing a multi-million dollar investment to expand its Applications Centre, based in Heanor, UK to support the company's work in collaborating with the OEMs and their supply chains in the development of novel materials, design and processing technologies.Finally, Cytec will promote its Process Materials Extra Wide High Temp Nylon Film and co-ex film manufacturing capability, specifically developed to meet the needs of the aerospace and wind energy markets. Indeed this film can run as wide as 4.7 meters LFT / 9.4 meters sheets for co-ex film and enables the manufacturing of significantly larger components much more efficiently (labour, time and material costs).JEC Innovation AwardsCytec is proud to once again be the official sponsor of the JEC Innovation Awards which honors innovative individuals and companies contributing to the advancement of the composites industry. Dr. Carmelo Lo Faro, Vice President of Technology, will open the Innovation Awards ceremony and give a short presentation about the importance of innovation in the ever-evolving world of composites. Notes to EditorAbout CytecCytec's vision is to deliver specialty material and chemical technologies beyond our customers' imagination.
