It is possible to accommodate complex-shaped parts, such as automotive suspension arms, which were difficult to manufacture with conventional CFRP.
Achieving lightweight design while maintaining the same fracture strength as conventional aluminum parts! Carbon Fiber FMC (FORGED MOLDING COMPOUND) is a sheet-like intermediate material that impregnates cut high-strength carbon fibers with thermosetting resin. 【Features of FMC Molded Products】 - Press molding is possible, significantly reducing molding time compared to conventional autoclave molding, enabling mass production and cost reduction. - FMC has randomly arranged short carbon fibers, providing high fluidity during molding, allowing for the production of complex shapes that were difficult to manufacture with traditional CFRP. - FMC has a lower specific gravity and higher strength compared to metals, allowing for the lightweighting of metal parts. 【What Mitsubishi Chemical Can Do】 - Mitsubishi Chemical provides total support from the production and supply of carbon fiber FMC (CF-SMC) materials to structural analysis, planning, design, and development.

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.
