Xycomp® 5175 composite

Primary Industry

-Aerospace

Description/Primary Uses

• Chopped carbon/PEEK UD tape composite

• Engine build-up components (brackets, housings)

• Aerodynamic fairings

• Load-bearing fittings/connectors

• Access doors

• Covers

• Structural frames/components

• Enclosures

Features & Benefits

• Complex-shape metal replacement for structural/semi-structural applications

• Excellent fire properties (low smoke/flammability, self-extinguishing), meets all FAA/OEMrequirements for interior use; passes 15-minute/212°F (100°C ) burn-through

• Good toughness/impact performance

• Excellent resistance to all typical aerospace solvents

• Very high carbon fiber content (70% by weight) for excellent stiffness/strength in structural and semi-structural applications

•Compatible for use directly against carbon fiber composite surfaces (no galvanic corrosion against other composites)

• 43% density reduction vs. aluminum, 80% vs. steel

• Very low moisture uptake, good hot/wet performance

• Service temperature range: -65°F (-54°C) to +500°F (260°C) (reduced loads at higher temperatures)
