Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (MCC) has announced the launch of a carbon fiber prepreg that cures in 60 seconds, significantly faster than conventional products
.
According to MCC, carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) are suitable for the transportation sector, where the demand for lightweight aircraft and car bodies is growing, and it also shows good prospects in the wearable device market
.
Typically, CFRP takes a considerable amount of time to shape and manufacture, limiting its potential applications, MCC said
.
The advent of this technology has resulted in improved production efficiency, opening up new opportunities for the use of CFRP
.
Fast-curing carbon fiber prepregs can achieve one-minute fast curing while maintaining storage stability comparable to conventional products, two properties that are difficult to achieve simultaneously
.
In addition, it has the heat resistance required for automotive parts and has high mechanical strength
.
MCC says work is underway on samples and the prepreg has been selected for specific applications
