"Carbon fiber" is a material said to have a strength ten times that of steel and a weight one-fourth of it. We utilize the characteristics of two types of carbon fibers with different raw materials: "PAN-based carbon fiber," which has high strength, and "pitch-based carbon fiber," which features high elasticity, for various applications. Most cases involve using carbon fiber not alone, but as a composite material combined with resin. There are numerous examples of its application in various fields, including FPD transport devices, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, train pantographs, industrial machinery, and picking robots. *For more details, please refer to related products and catalogs, or feel free to contact us.*

CFRTP refers to fiber-reinforced plastic that uses CF (carbon fiber) as a reinforcing agent and employs thermoplastic resin instead of thermosetting resin as the matrix resin. Compared to conventional thermosetting resin CFRP, it significantly shortens the molding cycle and enables bonding through thermal fusion, thus achieving improved productivity and lower costs. Additionally, it excels in impact resistance and fatigue properties, and can also provide flame retardancy and heat resistance depending on the type of resin used. *For more details, please refer to related products and catalogs, or feel free to contact us.*

We will introduce examples of the use of carbon fiber/carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) for semiconductors. Mitsubishi Chemical provides a diverse range of carbon fibers by utilizing both PAN-based and pitch-based raw materials. The characteristic properties of carbon fiber are its light weight, high strength, and high elasticity. As carbon fiber composite materials combined with resin, they are widely used in aerospace, sports and leisure, and industrial applications. *For more details, please refer to related products and catalogs, or feel free to contact us.

C/C (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Carbon) composites are reinforced with carbon fibers using carbon as the matrix. They possess high strength, high elasticity, high toughness, and ultra-high heat resistance, making them usable at temperatures above 1000°C. They are suitable for applications such as brake materials and heat-resistant components in industrial machinery. *For more details, please refer to related products and catalogs, or feel free to contact us.*

Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation offers "Ceramic Matrix Composite Materials (CMC)" that combine lightweight properties, rigidity, and moldability. Our CMC materials, which combine carbon fibers and metal materials, possess characteristics such as high rigidity, high heat resistance, high thermal conductivity, lightweight, wear resistance, and low dust generation, and are used as brake materials in mobility and as components in industrial machinery. Additionally, we are also exploring high moldability and associated cost reduction while maintaining the characteristics of these CMC materials. *For more details, please refer to the related products and catalog, or feel free to contact us.*
