This document provides a detailed explanation of the basic knowledge of CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic). It includes images of lightweight design, case studies, and important points to consider when designing CFRP. Our company has established a supply chain that covers everything from the molding of CFRP to post-processing, enabling us to offer one-stop support for the development of CFRP from design to prototyping and mass production. *For more details, please refer to the related products and catalog, or feel free to contact us.

The demand for lightweight materials is increasing in mobility applications such as aircraft and automobiles, as well as in industrial machinery applications that require responses to the sophistication and complexity of manufacturing processes along with efficiency improvements. The use of CFRP, which combines lightness and strength, is expected to advance further in the future. Mitsubishi Chemical has developed CFRP with high heat resistance that maintains its properties even at 300°C by using phenolic resin as the base resin. This CFRP, which uses phenolic resin, not only possesses the high thermal conductivity, high rigidity, and lightweight characteristics of CFRP based on epoxy resin but also offers high heat resistance, enabling solutions to customer challenges that have been difficult to address until now. *For more details, please refer to related products and catalogs or feel free to contact us.

We have created a document summarizing the key points of CFRP component development for designers, developers, and engineers who are considering the use of CFRP materials. In the previous edition, we discussed design aspects, but this time we have compiled points related to manufacturing, which have received many inquiries, so we hope you find it helpful.

We have prepared a document that outlines the key points for CFRP component development for designers, developers, and engineers considering the use of CFRP materials. It clearly summarizes the points of CFRP design, including the differences from isotropic materials, and we would greatly appreciate it if you could take a moment to read it.

Mitsubishi Chemical manufactures lightweight material "carbon fiber." In addition to selling carbon fiber, we also perform molding and processing, allowing us to deliver in the form of final products. By using carbon fiber composite materials, which have characteristics of high strength, high elasticity, and low specific gravity, it is possible to reduce the weight of parts, so please take a look at the materials first.
