Lockheed Martin awards Cytec Engineered Materials with a multi-year contract
Cytec Industries has announced that its Cytec Engineered Materials (CEM) business unit has been awarded a $750 million requirements contract with Lockheed Martin for the supply of high-performance composite materials used in the manufacture of two fifth-generation stealth fighters: the U.S. Air Force’s F-22A Raptor and the multinational F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. The contract runs through 2013.
“Decades of vision, research, hard work and on-site customer support have resulted in an extensive CEM product portfolio and qualifications for military programs such as the Raptor and JSF,” said Cytec Engineered Materials’ president Steve Speak. “Production runs of the F-22A are expected to continue for the remainder of the decade, with JSF expected to stretch at least 10 years beyond that. Cytec is proud to play a critical, enabling role in the design and performance of such cutting-edge military programs.”
Among the Cytec products to be supplied to Lockheed Martin are CYCOM 5250-4, a bismaleimide (BMI) prepreg known for performance-enhancing capability at high temperatures, thermoplastics materials that enhance damage tolerance and impact resistance, CYCOM 977-3, a toughened epoxy resin, and various high-performance adhesive materials.
“Building on our long history of success on military programs such as the F-14, F-16, F/A-18 and C-17, CEM’s scientists and engineers worked closely with Lockheed Martin and its subcontractors to develop engineered material solutions that meet the extremely demanding requirements of the F-22A and JSF programs,” Speak added.
