Syensqo (Brussel, Belgium) has announced the addition of its Cycom EP2190 epoxy prepreg to the National Center for Advanced Materials Performance (NCAMP) database. This milestone provides customers with standardized, publicly available qualification data packages, lowering barriers for adoption and enabling faster timelines for aerospace programs.

The NCAMP datasets cover EP2190 unidirectional (UD) tape on intermediate modulus (Teijin IMS65) fiber and plain-weave fabric on standard modulus (Syensqo Thornel T650) fiber. With NCAMP publication, OEMs and Tier suppliers gain access not only to material property data, but also to comprehensive qualification reports, statistical analyses, material specifications and process specifications. According to Syensqo, this full suite of documentation significantly reduces the time and cost of adoption for new aerospace programs.

Cycom EP2190 is a high-performance thermoset material designed for demanding primary structures. It delivers enhanced toughness while maintaining optimal compression properties — a balance critical for commercial aerospace, defense and advanced air mobility (AAM) applications.

“Having Cycom EP2190 in the NCAMP database enables our customers to efficiently adopt this high-performance material and rapidly move into the design phase of their programs,” says Greg Kelly, director of product and asset management, Syensqo Composites. “This is particularly impactful for AAM and defense customers seeking proven, readily available material systems.”

Over the last several years, Syensqo has further broadened its EP2190 portfolio beyond its core UD tape and fabric forms to include AFP carbon tape, S2 glass tapes and the required complementary glass fabrics. These expanded offerings provide engineers with greater versatility across both primary and secondary structures.

Cycom EP2190 is currently produced at Syensqo’s Wrexham, U.K. facility, with plans to expand production to North America as demand grows.
