Thermoplastic Composites
and Formed Parts
Performance Materials Corporation (PMC) and their subsidiary Baycomp are now part of TenCate Advanced Composites. With
their Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic (TenCate CFRT thermoplastic composites), they are leaders in the thermoplastic
composites industry. Simply put, with this acquisition, no other company has the depth of thermoplastic composites experience with
the global production capabilities compared to TenCate.
TenCate CFRT thermoplastic materials provide for greater structural properties compared to injection molded plastics, and have
distinct advantages over thermoset composites with respect to impact and other properties, part cycle times, cost and sustainability.
Key markets served include electronics, recreational, medical and automotive.

Film Adhesives
and Syntactics
TenCate offers a range of film adhesives that are compatible with our prepregs. Film adhesives are used for honeycomb bonding
of skin to core, or to bond pre-cured or post-cured laminates.
TenCate syntactics represent epoxy films that are loaded with glass microspheres for low density and high compressive strengths.
TenCate's Amlite and Amspand line of syntactic films are ideal for sandwich core construction, used for edge close outs, core
splices and reinforcement areas.
