Teijin to Showcase Latest Carbon and Aramid Fibre Composites at China Composites Expo

Toho Tenax and Shanghai-based Teijin Aramid Asia will participate in China Composites Expo 2012 which will take place at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center in Shanghai, China, from 5^th to 7^th September, 2012.

According to Teijin, customers will be able to visit the two booths to learn about innovative new concepts for carbon- and aramid-fibre-reinforced composites.

Toho Tenax says it will showcase advanced applications of carbon fibre reinforced plastics, including large-scale model aircraft for racing and smartphone and tablet casings made with ultra-lightweight carbon fibre fabrics, and other moulded products such as bicycle wheels and automotive diffusers from its booth number 924.

Teijin Aramid Asia says it will introduce two filament yarns - Twaron Black and Technora Black - both deep-black versions of high-modulus para-aramid fibres that were originally launched in gold colour from its booth number 1125. It says these are highly suited to applications requiring strength, weight-reduction and beauty, such as mobile phone casings, boat sails, hockey sticks and other sporting goods. Additional applications such as reinforcements for concrete, ships and gears/bearings also will be introduced.
