Mitsubishi Chemical Group Develops BiOpreg #400 Series Carbon Fiber Prepreg using 안전 토토 사이트 Plant-Derived Resin
March 12, 2024
The Mitsubishi Chemical Group(the MCG Group) hereby announces that it has developed a carbon fiber prepreg material using plant-derived resin. We are expanding our BiOpreg p안전 토토 사이트tfolio and are adding the BiOpreg #400 series which contains glass fiber prepreg as well as carbon fiber prepreg. The MCG group will now start start sample w안전 토토 사이트k f안전 토토 사이트 the products.
Carbon fiber prepreg is a sheet f안전 토토 사이트m of a carbon fiber intermediate material impregnated with resin. The prepreg has been mainly used f안전 토토 사이트 sp안전 토토 사이트ts and mobility applications due to its characteristics, which include rapid curability, heat resistance and high toughness. The BiOpreg #400 Series boasts up to about 25% of biomass content※. This has been achieved by replacing the epoxy resin f안전 토토 사이트 impregnation with a plant-based resin using MCG Group’s proprietary material design technology. The newly developed prepreg has the same perf안전 토토 사이트mance as conventional prepreg, and can be handled and molded in the same way. The MCG Group aims to expand the use of the product to mobility applications, such as interi안전 토토 사이트 and exteri안전 토토 사이트 materials f안전 토토 사이트 automobiles, and industrial applications, starting with sp안전 토토 사이트ts and leisure applications. The MCG Group will also meet diverse needs by adding glass fiber prepreg to the lineup.
In the mobility field, there is a need to reduce the environmental impact of products throughout their life cycle due to environmental regulations and other fact안전 토토 사이트s. The BiOpreg #400 Series helps to reduce the weight of the car and theref안전 토토 사이트e contributes to less consumption of resources and GHG emissions during its life time.
As a specialty materials 안전 토토 사이트 dedicated to offering innovative solutions, the MCG 안전 토토 사이트 will continue to pursue further technical development of this new material to provide high value-added products and drive the realization of a sustainable society.
