Brussels, October 21, 2025 – Syensqo, a global leader in advanced materials, has announced that its CYCOM® EP2190 epoxy prepreg has been officially added to the National Center for Advanced Materials Performance (NCAMP) database — a move set to accelerate aerospace qualification processes and reduce barriers to adoption.
The inclusion of CYCOM® EP2190 in the NCAMP database provides customers with standardised, publicly available qualification data packages, enabling faster design and certification timelines for aerospace programmes. The datasets include EP2190 unidirectional tape on intermediate modulus (Teijin IMS65) fibre and plain-weave fabric on standard modulus (Syensqo Thornel® T650) fibre.
With NCAMP publication, OEMs and tier suppliers now gain access to comprehensive datasets that include material property data, qualification reports, statistical analyses, and detailed material and process specifications. This complete suite of documentation helps reduce both time and cost in adopting new material systems for commercial, defence, and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) applications.
CYCOM® EP2190 is a high-performance thermoset material developed for demanding primary structures. It delivers enhanced toughness while maintaining excellent compression strength—a crucial balance for modern aerospace design.
“Having CYCOM® EP2190 in the NCAMP database allows our customers to efficiently adopt this high-performance material and rapidly move into the design phase of their programs,” said Greg Kelly, Director of Product and Asset Management, Syensqo Composites. “This is particularly impactful for AAM and defence customers seeking proven, readily available material systems.”
In recent years, Syensqo has expanded its EP2190 portfolio beyond its core unidirectional tape and fabric forms to include AFP carbon tape, S2 glass tapes, and complementary glass fabrics—broadening engineering flexibility across both primary and secondary structures. CYCOM® EP2190 is currently manufactured at Syensqo’s Wrexham, UK facility, with plans to extend production to North America to meet growing demand.
