Cytec Selected as Preferred Advanced Materials Supplier for LEAP-1 Engine Program
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Paris, France, June 18, 2013 - Cytec Industries Inc. (NYSE:CYT) announced today
its selection as the preferred advanced materials supplier for the Leading Edge
Aviation Propulsion (LEAP) high-bypass turbofan engine program.
Developed by CFM International, a joint venture between Snecma (Safran) and GE
Aviation, the LEAP-1 engine program's use of advanced composite materials will
reduce the weight by an estimated 500 pounds per aircraft. The next-generation
engine will reduce fuel consumption by 15 percent, nitrogen oxide emissions by
50 percent and noise by 15 decibels. LEAP-1 engines are an option for Airbus's
A320neo program and have been selected for the C919 program, COMAC's new single-
aisle commercial jet. Cytec is planning to expand production capacities in
Europe and the U.S. to support the LEAP engine program.
"The great success of the LEAP engine will generate a production ramp-up
extremely fast." said Xavier Dessemond, Vice President Purchasing of Safran.
"Our partner CYTEC already selected on Leap-1A and Leap-1C applications,
understood the need to set up a full production capacity from the entry into
service of the LEAP."
The LEAP-1 engine will utilize Cytec's CYCOM® PR520 RTM resin system via its fan
blades and containment cases based on its unique performance characteristics.
CYCOM PR520 offers superior damage tolerance and good strain capability required
for primary structure aerospace applications. CYCOM PR520 performance
characteristics widen the resin infusion processing window and help assure full
fiber wetting.
"Cytec congratulates Safran and GE Aviation on the success of the LEAP-1 engine
program and their innovative use of advanced composite materials," said Chris
Pederson, Vice President, Commercial Aerospace Materials. "Cytec is committed to
deliver advanced material technologies that address and surpass customer
requirements globally and optimize performance, production and manufacturing
costs."
Cytec develops advanced prepregs, resins and adhesives that are widely used in
the aerospace and high performance industrial applications. Our composite
products are complemented by a range of process materials. Paris Air Show
