TenCate materials are widely used on satellite and space structures and antennae as a result of their performance characteristics and successful flight history. TenCate materials have been used on almost every satellite program in the Western world. 

 

The rigors of space require that prepregs and related materials must withstand exposure to extreme temperature cycling and radiation while resisting micro cracking and outgassing. TenCate materials have been approved for satellite usage and when combined with ultra high modulus fibers and specialty weaves, make the strongest and lightest weight structures. 

 

TenCate prepregs, resins, syntactics and film adhesives are primarily used on bus structure, solar panels, reflectors and a variety of booms, tubes and trusses. TenCate’s line of cyanate ester prepregs provide the ultimate performance, while our epoxy products meet the requirements for space flight while providing a more cost effective alternative to cyanate ester materials
