Teijin to exhibit at China Composites Expo in Shanghai

September 04, 2017 - Japan

The Teijin Group is participating in China Composites Expo 2017, Asia's largest composites exhibition, being held in Shanghai during September 6-8. Some 500 exhibitors will take part in the annual show. Teijin is a technology-driven global group offering advanced solutions in the areas of environmental value, safety, security and disaster mitigation.

Teijin continues to leverage its core strengths in the development and manufacture of high strength lightweight materials and composites, and aims to become recognized as an enterprise that helps to solve social issues. The comprehensive presence of the Teijin Group at CCE 2017 will help expand its presence in China and underscore its commitment to delivering advanced solutions that meet the growing needs of the Chinese market.

The Teijin stand, which will be organised by Teijin Toho Tenax, the group's carbon fibres and composites business, Shanghai-based Teijin Aramid Asia, the group's aramid fibres business, and CSP Victall, a Chinese joint venture of a newly affiliated Teijin Group company Continental Structural Plastics, will display a number of solutions, including TENAX carbon fibre, for the growing market in industrial applications such as the production of leave springs for high-speed train networks, wind power generating equipment and hydrogen gas tanks, and Sereebo, the world’s first mass-production technology for carbon fibre-reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) which improves production efficiency by reducing molding times to less than one minute, allowing the speedy mass-production of automotive parts such as front bulkheads.

The company will also display TCA Ultra Lite, a 1.2 specific gravity, e-coat oven capable advanced composite offering a premium Class A finish with paint and gloss qualities comparable to metals (including aluminum), and Twaron, Technora, Twaron Black and Technora Black para-aramid fibres for use in the production of industrial equipment such as pressure vessels and circuit breaker rods, and with various applications in civil engineering.

Deep-black versions of high-tenacity para-aramid fibres suitable for use in the manufacturing of boat hulls and sails will be also showcased (previously available only in yellow). (SV)
