Renegade Materials Boosts High‑Heat Carbon‑Fiber Prepreg Capacity 2.5× to Power Advanced Aerospace

Japan’s Teijin, through its U.S. subsidiary Renegade Materials Corp., a leading supplier of heat‑resistant thermoset prepregs, resins, and adhesives, will expand its prepreg production by roughly 2.5 times. The upgrade aligns with Renegade’s capacity expansion strategy at its Miamisburg, Ohio facility and follows a $4 million investment made in December 2019. Construction began in March 2020, and the new production lines are slated to be operational by January 2022.

Renegade’s heat‑resistant thermoset prepregs, resins, and adhesives are trusted by aircraft manufacturers and engine suppliers across the United States and Europe. Founded in 1993 as a resin manufacturer, the company launched its aerospace‑grade thermoset prepreg line under the Renegade brand in 2007. It has since built deep expertise in producing high‑heat‑resistant resins for Resin Transfer Molding (RTM), low‑toxicity adhesives, and unique thermal‑cycle‑resistant prepregs.

These proprietary prepregs are integral to the manufacture of next‑generation aircraft. By increasing prepreg capacity, Renegade prioritizes the use of high‑performance materials in advanced aerospace solutions and industrial applications, positioning itself to meet the evolving demands of the global market.
