The first resin infusion system achieves NCAMP qualification with Teijin Carbon’s advanced reinforcements

September 8, 2025 - Syensqo says it has achieved FAA-sponsored NCAMP qualification for its PRISM EP2400 epoxy resin system in combination with Teijin Carbon’s Tenax IMS65 E23 24K Non-Crimp Fabrics (NCF) and woven unidirectional (UD woven) reinforcements.

The qualification, recognized by both FAA and EASA and formalized under material specification NMS 241 and process specification NPS 82401, is supported by a publicly available NCAMP Material Property Data Report, providing aerospace manufacturers with certified, design-ready material data to accelerate implementation where resin infusion offers performance and cost advantages.

“This qualification fills a critical gap in publicly available aerospace material data,” said Rob Blackburn, Head of Customer Engineering at Syensqo. “It’s the first resin infusion system in the NCAMP database, giving manufacturers a validated, scalable alternative to autoclave processing for applications where resin infusion makes sense such as integrated structures.”

Closing the resin infusion data gap in NCAMP

Syensqo says PRISM EP2400 is the first resin infusion material to be added to the NCAMP database. Until now, public NCAMP allowables have focused almost exclusively on prepreg systems, leaving a gap for OEMs seeking validated out-of-autoclave (OoA) resin infusion solutions.

This qualification directly addresses that gap, offering industry-approved, publicly available mechanical property data for a high-performance infusion process.

According to Syensqo, technical benefits of PRISM EP2400:

• Low viscosity system enabling robust and repeatable resin transfer processing
• Toughened and damage tolerant resin for high performance application
• Long and stable pot life for large or complex structure infusions
• One-part, low reactive system, developed for global shipping by sea, land, or air

Advantages of the NCAMP qualification:

• Faster adoption: mechanical testing and analysis are already complete
• Lower cost: qualification expenses significantly reduced
• Reduced program risk: OEMs can move directly to the next stage of certification for their aircraft or components

According to Syensqo, PRISM EP2400 is Ideal for both primary and secondary structures on commercial or defense aircraft. It is suited for a wide variety of components, where its toughened resin system delivers higher performance than typical resin infusion systems, the company claims.

The full documentation package is now publicly available via NCAMP at Wichita State University.
