We would like to introduce the surface smoothness feature of "Flexcarbon." Thanks to the open-pore thin-layer tape and thermoplastic epoxy, it is possible to manufacture molded products with excellent mold conformity and high surface smoothness. The adhesion to coatings is also good, eliminating the need for polishing during post-processing. Please feel free to contact us if you have any inquiries. [Overview] - Composed of thin-layer carbon fiber tape with a high number of layers - More than 20 layers at 2mm - Low mechanical variation (C.V) and high isotropy *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce the characteristics of "Flexcarbon," specifically its freedom of molding due to its thin and multi-layer structure. By utilizing unique fiber separation technology, we have achieved an ultra-thin layer with a thickness of 50μ. The voidless thin-layer tape material, made possible through impregnation technology, allows for thin and multi-layer structures that can produce molded products with minimal warping on the surface, even with uneven thickness and complex boss and rib structures. This enables high design freedom and strength design capabilities. [Overview] - Achieves an ultra-thin layer of 50μ - Capable of uneven thickness and complex boss and rib structures - Molded products with minimal warping on the surface *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We will introduce the features of "Flexcarbon," focusing on isotropy and the stability of its physical properties. By using a voidless thin-layer tape substrate and our unique lamination technology, we achieve high strength and isotropy. This homogeneous material enables highly productive molding processes. Please feel free to contact us if you have any inquiries. 【Details】 ■ Bidirectional deformation: Can deform in various directions ■ Deformation in the thickness direction - The lamination of thin-layer materials results in minimal variation in the physical properties of the bending parts while maintaining strength - High isotropy ■ Capable of producing high-quality mass-produced items with complex shapes *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce the characteristics of "Flexcarbon," specifically regarding its ability to mold complex shapes. This product enables the creation of complex shapes (such as variable thickness and honeycomb shapes) through press molding. By preheating the material, we can perform high-cycle molding processing for one minute using the cold press method known as "stamping molding." Additionally, by heating the mold to enhance the flowability of the material, we can fill the material (fibers and resin) into the fine tips of complex shapes using the "heat & cool" method. We will propose these two molding methods tailored to our customers' needs as we move towards mass production. 【Stamping Molding Process】 ■STEP 1: Material Preheating ■STEP 2: Transport and Mold Clamping ■STEP 3: Press Molding ■STEP 4: Demolding *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

"Flexcarbon" is a thermoplastic CFRTP sheet that simultaneously achieves complex shape molding and high strength, which was not possible with conventional carbon fiber composite materials, enabling mass production. It excels in mold conformity and allows for the production of high-smoothness molded products. Through press molding, it can create complex shapes that were previously impossible, and for mass production, we propose two molding methods, "stamping molding" and "heat & cool," tailored to customer requirements. [Features] - Complex shape moldability - Isotropy and stability of physical properties - Freedom of molding due to thin and multilayer structure - Surface smoothness *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The thermoplastic random sheet "Flexcarbon" is a thermoplastic non-continuous isotropic sheet that can be used without directional constraints. By fully impregnating carbon fibers with thermoplastic epoxy resin, it possesses mechanical properties comparable to continuous fiber materials and can be molded in under one minute using stamping. Compared to conventional CF-SMC, it has less mechanical variation and higher isotropy, making it capable of producing complex-shaped molded products. 【Features】 ■ Capable of molding complex shapes ■ Possesses mechanical properties comparable to continuous fiber materials ■ Molding possible in under one minute using stamping ■ Suitable for thin-walled CFRP products *For more details, please request documentation or view the PDF data from the download section.
