TCM Composites
TCM Composites provides manufacturing process and technology services for companies adopting the latest in Controlled Radical Polymerization (CRP) technologies. Through ongoing research and development, we have discovered that without “The Advantage of Temperature Controlled Molding”, the ability to both heat and cool the molds, CRP nanotechnology is not effective. But by incorporating the TCM™ process with CRP nanotechnology, then composites manufacturing is revolutionized.
The concept is simple: Use an efficient BTU transfer media to both heat and cool your molds, thereby eliminating ambient conditions from the composite manufacturing equation. The execution of this simple concept and avoiding the need to repeat 10-years of learned lessons is where TCM Composites adds value to our customers.

TCM Composites, a division of Kenway Corporation, was created to provide manufacturing
process and technology services that will support companies adopting Arkema’s remarkable
BlocBuilder product. Through our collaboration on the R&D program, what we discovered is
that without the advantage of Temperature Controlled Molding (TCM) – the ability to both heat
and cool the molds – that the BlocBuilder product is not effective. But by incorporating the
TCM process with BlocBuilder nanotechnology, then composites manufacturing is
revolutionized. Improved flow characteristics, the ability to cure-on-demand, enhanced
physicals properties, consistent and faster production times, laminates exceeding 6” thickness.
All this is possible when BlocBuilder nanotechnology is combined with the TCM process.
Partnered exclusively with industry expert Andre Cocquyt, the TCM Composites team will
provide the following solutions to companies:
Manufacturing of Temperature Controlled Molds & Tools (from lab tables, to large
production tables, to complex shapes for the Wind Industry and beyond)
Consulting services on how to incorporate the TCM process into the manufacturing
environment
Employee training (in collaboration with SMCC)
The TCM process is based on 10-years of research and development conducted by Andre
Cocquyt (ACSM, Inc.). The concept is simple: Use an efficient BTU transfer media to both heat
and cool your molds, thereby eliminating ambient conditions from the composite manufacturing
equation. The execution of this simple concept and avoiding the need to repeat 10-years of
learned lessons is where TCM Composites adds value to our customers.
