Carbon fiber Tenax™

compositeepoxyhigh-performance plastic

Tenax™ Filament Yarn is a high-performance carbon fiber product that significantly enhances and strengthens the properties of thermoset and thermoplastic composites. This includes products made for aerospace, automotive and several industrial applications. With a high tensile strength and tensile modulus, Tenax™ Filament Yarn is ideally suited for many processes, such as prepregging, filament winding, pultrusion, weaving and braiding. The yarn is available in qualities ranging from 67 to 3,200 tex or 1,000 to 48,000 filaments. The benefits of carbon fiber sizing The application of a thin coating to the surface, known as fiber sizing, protects Tenax™ Filament Yarn during handling, processing, compounding, and composite processing, while improving wet-out. A wide range of available sizings make Tenax™ Filament Yarn fully compatible with thermoset matrix systems, including epoxy, polyurethane and vinylester. Teijin also offers products with tailored thermoplastic sizing compatible with thermoplastic matrix systems, such as PEEK, PEI and PA. Our sales department is ready to assist with selecting the optimum type of Tenax™ Filament Yarn. The values given in this table are guide values, obtained under controlled conditions by Teijin. For component design, please request a specification through our sales department. The export or shipment of carbon fibers may be subject to authorization, depending on the properties, final destination, and end use. Each exporter is responsible for observing the regulations in their country. Additional import/export regulations from other countries may also apply.
