Toray Exhibiting at China Composites Expo 2019

Toray Industries, Inc. announced that it will exhibit at the China Composites Expo 2019, which takes place Sept. 3-5 in Shanghai, China, in booth 415, Hall 1.

The Toray booth will feature the company’s technologies and portfolio of products. It will also highlight the contributions being made by Toray’s carbon fiber composite materials in the areas of mobility, energy, and quality of life. These materials have been developed not only to improve convenience in daily life, but also to enhance performance in the fields of sports, energy and conveyor equipment, where there is a growing need for the reduction of CO2 emissions and other environmental measures.

TORAYCA T720 and T800 carbon fiber are used for hydrogen tanks, while TORAYCAT700 is used to make cable cores. Also, TORAYCA fast-curing prepreg has been chosen for the manufacture of automobile bumpers. By using prepreg that combines the world’s strongest carbon fiber, TORAYCA T1100G, with Toray’s proprietary NANOALLOY technology, prepreg applications are being expanded to include aerospace products, as well as high-end sports and racing cars.

Toray has started mass production of TORAYCAGT Z600, carbon fiber with excellent cost performance. Z600 has intermediate properties between large tow carbon fiber, produced by Zoltek, a Toray subsidiary in the US, and regular tow, which has a proven track record in pressure vessel applications. Samples of Z600 will be on display at the Toray booth.
