How Extensively Will Carbon Fiber Change the Future? The Latest Manufacturing and Converting Technologies from Hokuriku, Shikoku, and Other Regional Exhibitors from Japan – neo functional material 2018 –

TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#carbon–The Converting Technical Institute and JTB Communication Design will
hold neo
functional material over the three days from Wednesday, February
14 to Friday, February 16, at Tokyo Big Sight.

During new functional material 2018, regional carbon fiber composites
producers and converters from the Hokuriku region of Japan to Shikoku
will be on hand to exhibit their technology. Despite having attracted
interest as a replacement for metal, carbon fiber composites continue to
have issues with high cost, low productivity, and difficult handling. In
this light, Japanese companies that have led the world with their
technological prowess in complex forming and finishing technologies have
attracted interest of late for their activities in advancing material
development and production technologies in this area.

Along with exhibitions related to composites by the Industrial
Technology Center of Fukui Prefecture and the Shikoku Industry &
Technology Promotion Center (Asuka, AWA PAPER & TECHNOLOGICAL COMPANY,
SHIHEN TECHNICAL Corporation, etc.), TEIJIN will hold a seminar
regarding the application of composites to mass-production vehicles.

Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the power of carbon fiber to
change the future.

<NEW>Thin random prepreg sheet
Thin random prepreg sheet is
made by scattering rectangular shaped chopped tape and applying heat and
pressure. The chopped tape is made by cutting the ultra thin
thermoplastic prepreg sheet.

[NEW] CARMIX CFRTP, CARMIX HEAT
DIFFUSION SHEET
CARMIX CFRTP is the carbon fiber reinforced
plastics produced through heat-press molding of Mat composed by carbon
fiber (Length: about 5-6mm) and thermoplastic resin fiber (PP,
Polycarbonate, Nylon etc.). Characteristics of CFRTP are as follows:
Excellent
in moldability of complex shape
Weight: 1/2 of aluminium, 1/6 of
iron
Flexural strength: 2 time as strong as aluminium

Heraeus
[3A-12] IR modules for heating and drying process
Our IR
heaters have superior abilities, performance and possibilities. They
open the possibility of a new process to the adaptive material. We will
mainly introduce next generation non-contact IR welding and CFRP rapid
heating.
