Toray Industries has introduced a new bonding technology for carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP), significantly improving aircraft manufacturing efficiency. This technology applies to both thermoplastic and thermosetting CFRP, achieving joint strength three times greater than conventional methods and reducing assembly times by a factor of three.

It enables reliable joints without traditional adhesives or mechanical fasteners, contributing to lighter aircraft structures and enhanced production automation. Furthermore, Toray has completed NCAMP qualification for its 3960 prepreg system, reinforcing its position in certified aerospace composite materials. The advancements align with industry goals for higher production rates and reduced environmental impact.
