Teijin Launches New Carbon Fiber Intermediate Material Brands
Tokyo, Japan, February 25, 2021 --- Teijin Limited announced today its new Tenax PW(power series) and Tenax BM (beam series) brands of carbon fiber intermediatematerials for sports applications.
Tenax PW is an advanced aircraft-quality material that helps to maximize power andspeed thanks to its exceptional durability and toughness. Made of high-tenacity,high-tensile-modulus resin. Tenax PW also suppresses and absorbs impact forces tominimize and localize damage after impact. In addition, its compressive strength issuperior to that of Teijin’s standard carbon fiber prepregs. Utilizing these same superiorfeatures, sports goods made with Tenax PW enable powerful, speedy swings.

Tenax BM is another highly advanced material suitable for use in satellites. It is ideal for
applications requiring flexibility and resistance to thermal expansion due to its excellent
rigidity, straightness, operability and stability. Tenax BM also offers superior vibration
damping (suppression and absorption), achieving four times greater damping than thatof Teijin’s standard carbon fiber prepregs. Sporting goods made with satellite-quality
Tenax BM are highly resistant to impact deformation and shake.

CFRP Vibrate Damping Property (Constant Load)Demands for cutting-edge materials that support high performance are continually
increasing in the sports industries, which is why lightweight, highly rigid carbon fiber has
been a favored material for many years. Since the 1970s, Teijin has been developing
carbon fiber and carbon fiber intermediate materials for sports applications including
fishing poles, golf shafts, hockey sticks, and tennis rackets. Teijin has now decided toaccelerate its development of carbon fiber intermediate materials for sports
applications utilizing the company’s proprietary carbon fiber technologies deployed inaircraft and satellites.
Tenax, named after a Latin word for tough or tenacious, includes intermediate materials
that offer excellent tenacity and five times the strength the strength of steel but just one
quarter of the weight.
