Materials that make a difference

‘Materials that make a difference’ is TenCate’s watchword. This is no mere slogan but a promise. TenCate develops and manufactures materials which improve the performance of an end product, reduce weight, increase safety and lower costs. Materials which open up new potential and enable new areas of application.

In brief, materials that are clearly distinctive in terms of functionality. TenCate helps customers with developments in their market areas. They assess and meet the customer’s needs by jointly developing the specifications of materials. TenCate seeks to push back frontiers by means of technical innovation and product differentiation. These development processes are characterized by a pragmatic approach, reliability and a sound knowledge and experience.

Several recent examples of TenCate materials that endorse this policy:

• TenCate Cetex® System 3 – a laminated composite material consisting of three layers, specially developed for the new interior design in modern aircraft
