What are the benefits of using "phenol CFRP"?

With 'Phenol CFRP' that has heat resistance above 300℃, it is possible to reduce the weight of parts used in high-temperature environments, decrease deflection, and improve vibration damping!

Phenol CFRP is a composite material made of carbon fibers (long fibers) and phenolic resin. Phenolic resin has high heat resistance (over 300°C) and can be used in high-temperature environments that conventional CFRP (epoxy resin) cannot handle. **Benefits of Using Phenol CFRP** - Higher heat resistance compared to epoxy resin (over 300°C), allowing for use in high-temperature environments. - High specific modulus (modulus of elasticity divided by weight), enabling lightweight parts, thin-walled designs, and reduced deflection. - Excellent vibration damping properties, allowing for high-speed operation. **Common Needs** - Want to reduce the weight of ceramic parts. - Considering cost reduction for polyimide-based material parts. - Want to make products thinner while minimizing deflection. - Due to increased weight of the workpiece, want to adopt materials with a higher Young's modulus. **Expected Applications of Phenol CFRP** Parts for FPD manufacturing equipment, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, medical device parts, etc. **What Mitsubishi Chemical Can Do** In addition to manufacturing and selling carbon fibers and prepregs, we can also mold, process, assemble, coat, and inspect these materials for delivery. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

basic information

**Features of Phenol CFRP** - Lightweight: The density of the material is 1/4 that of iron and 2/3 that of aluminum - High rigidity: Elastic modulus exceeding that of iron can be designed - Heat resistance: Physical properties do not degrade above 300°C - Small diameter and thin-walled design (compact design) - High vibration damping - High thermal conductivity - Low thermal expansion *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
