With 'Phenol CF-SMC', which has heat resistance above 300℃, it is possible to reduce the weight of parts used in high-temperature environments! Complex shapes can also be molded!
Phenol CF-SMC is a composite material made of carbon fibers (short 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. It also meets the fire resistance evaluation standards for railway applications. **Benefits of using Phenol CF-SMC:** - Higher heat resistance compared to epoxy resin (over 300°C), allowing for use in high-temperature environments. - Lightweight due to low specific gravity, enabling weight reduction of aluminum and SUS. - Allows for lightweight design of parts requiring fire resistance. - Capable of molding complex product shapes through pressing. **Common needs:** - Desire to reduce the weight of aluminum or SUS parts used in high-temperature environments. - Need to lighten parts that require fire resistance. **Expected applications of Phenol CF-SMC:** Components for aircraft, automobiles, railway vehicles, machine tools, thermal protection materials, etc. **What Mitsubishi Chemical can offer:** In addition to the manufacturing and sales of carbon fibers and prepregs, we can also handle molding, processing, assembly, coating, and inspection of these materials for delivery. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Company information
Mitsubishi Chemical is one of the world's leading manufacturers of carbon fiber composites, producing both PAN-based and pitch-based carbon fibers. PAN-based carbon fibers are made from acrylic fibers, while pitch-based carbon fibers are derived from coal. Our company handles everything from carbon fibers to intermediate materials such as prepregs and fabrics, as well as finished products. CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics), which solidifies carbon fibers with resin, is expanding its applications in industries such as sports and leisure, aerospace, and construction due to its excellent properties that are not found in traditional metal materials or ceramics. We possess a diverse range of technologies and extensive knowledge related to carbon fiber composites, enabling us to propose materials and optimal designs that match our customers' needs. Additionally, by considering the volume and quality/price targets during mass production, we can offer the best solutions.
