T-Series, referring to “Tensile strength”, is characterised by high tensile strength and a standard to intermediate modulus.
The number following the letter T indicates the approximate tensile strength in kgf/mm² or Ksi. For example, the T700S has a tensile strength of 711 Ksi.
Standard Modulus (230-280 GPa)
T300/T300J
T300/T300J: The first fiber marketed by Toray Industries in 1971. It is a pioneer of the sky and space conquest. Forty years after its launch, the Torayca® technology used to produce the T300 remains unsurpassed.
Although initially intended for structural applications, the T300 is now mainly used as a laminate surface ply designed for aesthetic interior applications. The textile quality of the T300 is still unmatched. The alignment of the filaments, the consistency of the tow width and the sizing agent ratio of the T300 give a homogeneous finish to carbon laminates. These tows are available in 1K, 3K and 6K (Kilo per thousands of filaments) and are ideally suited for aesthetic applications.
T700S
At the heart of the Torayca® range, the T700S is the most renowned fiber in the composite industry. This Torayca® technology offers high mechanical performance and is perfectly adapted to large-scale industrial production, including compressed gas storage tanks (compressed natural gas, hydrogen, etc.).
The T700S is also the benchmark for other smaller markets such as marine applications, sports and leisure, civil engineering, etc.
The textile quality of the T700S is the reference for the carbon fiber industry. The alignment of the filaments, the tow’s cohesion and its ability to spread make it possible to obtain perfectly smooth laminates. The T700S is used in Class A laminates for automotive applications and surface ply for the sports and leisure market.
T700G
An Aerospace fiber offering higher tensile modulus and better fiber-matrix adhesion. It is particularly recommended for composite structures under transverse mechanical stresses.
Widely used in Aeronautics, the T700G can also be used in industrial applications.
T720S
The newest addition to the range, the T720S, with its superior mechanical properties to the T700S, is particularly suitable for pressure vessels where weight is a critical factor (especially hydrogen). Developed to meet the automotive industry’s requirements, the T720S is increasingly used by other industries to create lightweight and resistant products.
TDS
Intermediate Modulus (280 – 340 GPa)
T800H
The first Torayca® intermediate modulus fiber to be developeds, the T800H is used in prestigious Aerospace Engineering programmes. The T800H is the winning choice for Formula 1 and ocean racing.
T800S
a second-generation fiber, combining intermediate modulus fiber characteristics with industrial-scale usage. The T800S is the fiber of primary Aeronautical structures ‘par excellence’.
T1000G
Developed in 1986, the T1000G, with its long-unrivalled tensile strength, remains one of the flagship products of the Torayca® range.
T1100S
Top of the Torayca® range, the T1100S fiber represents a phenomenal technological leap. The T1100S provides the ideal solution for applications requiring both high tensile strength and modulus. This fiber is particularly suitable for manufacturing high-pressure tanks using the filament winding process.
T1100G
A fiber without compromise.
With its strength, tensile modulus and superior fiber-matrix adhesion, the T1100G is particularly recommended for composite structures under transverse mechanical stresses and is especially suitable for use in the aerospace industry.
