Solvay CYCOM® 2237 Polyimide Resin System  (discontinued **)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoset; Polyimide, TS

Material Notes: CYCOM® 2237 is Cytec Engineered Materials’ version of PMR-15. It is formulated for high temperature applications where low void content is critical. CYCOM 2237 has the best overall balance of processing behavior, thermo-oxidative stability and retention of properties in the 500 to 550°F (260 to 288°C) range. CYCOM 2237’s thermo-oxidative stability and micro-crack resistance make it ideal for jet engine and other fatigue loaded components like bypass ducts, gear box covers, transmission housings, vent tubes, fan stator and vane assemblies, nozzle flaps, core cowls, particle separator swirl frames and compression molded bearings.CYCOM 2237 prepreg can be autoclave cured, vacuum bag processed or compression molded. CYCOM 2237 is solution impregnated on a variety of fibers and fabrics. It is currently available on glass, quartz and graphite reinforcement. Product forms are unidirectional tape, non-woven mate and woven fabrics. Generally available widths are 12 inches for UD tape, 24 inches for mat and 60 inches for woven fabrics.

Features & Benefits:

  • High Tg, 640°F (338°C)
  • Service temperature to 550°F (288°C)
  • Addition cure cross-linking mechanism
  • Excellent handling characteristics
  • Good product consistency
  • Available in a range of forms including tape, fabric and neat resin
  • Autoclave or press-mold processing
  • Shelf life of 12 months at 0°F (-18°C)
  • Mechanical life of 20 days at 80°F (27°C) and maximum 70% relative humidity
Applications:
  • Jet engine components
  • Fatigue loaded components
