TenCate signs Northern Composites as agent for 3M tooling prepregs

Last year, TenCate and 3M joined forces to market and support 3M’s line of tooling prepregs featuring 3M’s patented matrix resin technology. This utilises nanosilicas to create a more durable, robust and dimensionally accurate tool for the fabrication of composite parts. (See TenCate expands cooperation with 3M.) Northern Composites, Hampton, New Hampshire, USA,will have responsibility for supporting customers in the Eastern half of the USA.

“TenCate is very pleased to be working with Northern Composites," says Joe Johnson, Tooling Product Manager at TenCate Advanced Composites.

"They have hands on experience building composite tools with customers, and offer a complete line of materials from adhesives to mould releases to consumables.”
