CARMIX CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic)
About Our Products
CARMIX CFRP is a product (prepreg) processed from sheets created using our carbon-based material papermaking technology. CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) is a plastic with carbon fibers in it to increase its strength. CARMIX CFRP is a prepreg, which is a precursor of CFRP, produced by mixing carbon fiber and thermoplastic resin fiber using wet papermaking technology and papermaking process only. By making prepreg in a single process and using carbon fiber (end material), we have realized inexpensive prepreg for CFRP. It is also possible to produce three-dimensional molded products with excellent isotropic strength characteristics in the three-dimensional direction by heat press molding or high-cycle press molding using a die, and the molding cost can be lowered.
