Combining Insulation, Lightweight, Thinness, and High Strength: High-Strength Thin GFRP (Developmental Product)
Strength and thinness in the palm of your hand. Nittobo’s High-Strength Thin GFRP breaks through the barriers of metal replacement and weight reduction to enable next-generation design.
Nittobo’s "High-Strength Thin GFRP" is a next-generation functional material utilizing our independently developed high-strength glass fiber (GF) as a reinforcement. This high-strength GF is characterized by its superior strength and high elongation compared to conventional glass fibers. By applying this fiber, the mechanical properties of the GFRP are dramatically improved, achieving levels of strength previously unreachable with standard GF products. Developed with the core keywords of "Metal Replacement," "Weight Reduction," "High Strength," "Thin-walling," and "Insulation," this product supports the extreme thinning of components while maintaining high tensile and flexural strength. For designers seeking strength comparable to or exceeding metal in a lightweight form, this is a breakthrough solution that dramatically expands the freedom of structural design, from aerospace to everyday electronic devices.
