Putting the Wheels in Motion

With more than 20 years of supporting the unique demands of the supercar and high performance automotive markets, Toray is the ideal specialty automotive program partner. Our unique product portfolio spans thermoset and thermoplastic technology, including tooling materials, highly cosmetic surfacing materials, and structural prepregs for chassis and body panel applications.

Advanced composite materials are not only strong and lightweight, facilitating reduced fuel consumption, but also promote an energy-efficient and cleaner solution for high performance automotive applications. Composites are literally paving the road for the next-generation automobiles.

Monocells

Building on our Formula 1 heritage, Toray offers high performance materials supporting production volumes required for performance-critical components, such as monocells/passenger chassis. Toray materials also offer improvements in impact absorption and structural optimization to minimize weight and improve safety.

Crash Structures

The unique, high-energy absorption properties of Toray's composite materials facilitate a highly-optimized, lightweight solution for crash structures.

Body Panels & Cosmetic Trims

More appeal, less cost. With minimal fiber distortion and a high gloss finish directly from the mold, Toray prepreg systems produce high-quality, visually appealing components. Switching to a prepreg system from RTM and infusion processes saves time and money in rework and fabrication.

Firewalls

Occupant safety is everything. Lightweight composite firewalls offer rigidity and protection while safeguarding the interior from excessive heat.

Brake Ducts

High-temperature and high-pressure brake lines and brake ducts are manufactured with Toray's lightweight carbon fiber composites for extreme durability under harsh racing conditions.

Engine & Gear Box Components

In performance vehicles, engine components and gearboxes undergo extensive stress and endure high service temperatures. Toray composites lighten gearbox weight while excelling in these extreme environments.

Why Toray Materials?

High Temperature Resistant

Operating at temperatures usually expected in Formula 1 race cars and aircraft engines, high performance cars demand the best of composite materials. Ultra-high temperature materials from Toray are designed to withstand thermal cycling while withstanding mechanical loading.

Impact Resistant

Strong, durable, and impact resistant, Toray's prepreg systems stand up to the toughest automotive crash standards, helping ensure safety.

Cosmetic Clarity

Aesthetic beauty is achieved through close control of quality, superior materials, and optimized chemistry. Toray matrix resins are designed to minimize the damaging effects of UV and provide an impressive, long-lasting finish.

Material Formats

Composite materials for high-performance automotive applications are available both across thermoset and thermoplastic technologies in a range of formats to suit your design needs and processing options.

Uni-directional Tapes

Uni-directional tapes allow composite designers and fabricators to optimize the structure for the most efficiency. Toray's uni-directional tapes are offered in standard and intermediate modulus to provide the highest strength and stiffness in the load direction.

Woven Prepregs

Woven prepregs offer strength and thickness, allowing rapid lay-up of thick structure. Woven fabrics are varied in their structure ranging from plain weaves and 2 x 2 twills to more drapable 5 and 8 harness satin weaves.

Composite Tooling Prepregs

The Toray AmberTool® family of tooling prepregs cures at low temperatures to allow the production of high-quality composite tooling from low-cost master patterns. Users can easily fabricate complex tool shapes as a result of their excellent tack, drape, and handling characteristics. Read More
