Syensqo and Bell Textron, Inc., an aerospace and defense company, have joined forces to accelerate the industrialization of composites.

Bell adopted Syensqo’s patented DDF manufacturing process – a proven, efficient, automatable processing technology for the high rate and high volume manufacture of composite parts – coupled with its fast cure aerospace prepreg CYCOM EP 2750.

Syensqo’s end to end DDF line.

Bell qualified and industrialized this technology quickly, achieving high-rate production of aerospace composite parts.

By implementing this new process, Bell achieves decreased operational costs while generating positive environmental aspects such as reduced waste, energy consumption and green-house gas emissions. In addition, DDF enabled the relief of autoclaves’ usage for curing small to medium size parts allowing their utilization for larger parts.

“Syensqo's customer support model is based on the belief that design, material and manufacturing are all inter-related and key to a successful increase in composites adoption. Our teams are structured to support this model and customer collaborations are fundamental in working towards a more industrialized composites industry,” said Marc Doyle, Business Executive Vice-President of Syensqo Composite Materials.
