Tenax® Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastics
Qualified by Collins Aerospace
Tokyo, Japan, October 9, 2020 --- Teijin Limited announced today that it has qualified
its carbon fiber based materials Tenax® ThermoPlastic Woven Fabric (TPWF) andTenax® ThermoPlastic Consolidated Laminate (TPCL) by Collins Aerospace, a unit ofRaytheon Technologies Corporation, one of the world's leading manufacturers of aircraft
structural components.

Tenax® TPWF

Tenax® TPCLTenax® TPWF is a woven carbon fiber fabric coated with a thermoplastic polymer andTenax® TPCL are completely impregnated and consolidated sheets made of several
layers of Tenax® TPWF.
The qualified product is based on woven high strength carbon fiber andpolyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymer, which achieves high heat, impact and fatigue
resistance, helps to reduce production costs and improve component manufacturing
efficiency thanks to the potential of a rapid molding process. This material is suited forlarge-scale production of parts combined with high mechanical performance, such as
structural components for aerospace.
Teijin has an existing strong business relationship withCollins Aerospace. As a proof, a facility of Teijin
Carbon America, Inc., the company’s core carbon
fiber business in the U.S., was awarded Supplier Goldas the only fiber manufacturer worldwide for the supply of an oxidized PAN fiber (OPF)
Pyromex® for aircraft brake-friction materials.
As one strategic focus of its medium-term management plan for 2020-2022. Teijin is
intensively accelerating its development of mid- to downstream applications for aircraft,such as cost-effective carbon fibers with higher-tenacity and higher-tensile modulus,intermediate materials including Tenax® Dry Reinforcement carbon fiber materials

(Tenax® DR), carbon fiber thermoplastic unidirectional pre-impregnated tape (Tenax®
TPUD), carbon fiber thermoplastic consolidated laminate (Tenax® TPCL) and thermoset
prepreg. Going forward, Teijin intends to further strengthen its carbon fiber and its
intermediate material business as a leading solution provider for aircraft applications,targeting annual sales in this field in excess of USD 900 million by around 2030.
