TEIJIN LIMITED INTEGRATED REPORT 2015 1 Enhancing the Quality of Life Teijin’s Challenge ➀ Environment and Energy Conservation STURDY, LIGHTWEIGHT ECO-FRIENDLY CARS OF THE FUTURE Teijin’s thermoplastic CFRP will make this breakthrough possible. Carbon fi ber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is a composite material made of carbon fi ber, which is about ten times stronger and three-quarters lighter than steel, and synthetic plastics. By adopting CFRP for use in the body and parts of automobiles, Teijin is working to reduce vehicle weight, and thereby enable reductions in CO2 emissions from automobiles and higher energy effi ciency. Teijin’s thermoplastic CFRP features a molding time that is approximately 10 times faster than that of conventional CFRP. At present, Teijin is making progress on joint projects with General Motors of the U.S. targeting mass-production vehicles. We may soon see sturdy, lightweight eco-friendly vehicles made of Teijin’s thermoplastic CFRP driving on roads around the world. Tomorrow’s eco-friendly vehicles may very well be just around the corner. ✳ Calculations were made under the conditions shown below. Body weight: 1,380 kg (gasoline-fueled, 4-door, FF; source: Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association Inc.), actual-driving fuel efficiency: 9.8 km/L (source: Sereebo Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc.), total mileage: 94,000 km Thermoplastic CFRP (average for vehicles in use for 10 years; source: Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Japan) 2 TEIJIN LIMITED INTEGRATED REPORT 2015 CO2 emission reductions by using thermoplastic CFRP vehicles: 5 tons/vehicle✳ Final stages of joint development with General Motors on thermoplastic CFRP parts for mass production vehicles Registered on General Motor’s materials list TEIJIN LIMITED INTEGRATED REPORT 2015 3 Enhancing the Quality of Life Teijin’s Challenge ➁ Safety, Security and Disaster Mitigation PROTECTING LIFE FROM HAZARDS AND DISASTERS Teijin’s high performance materials are helping to achieve a safe and secure society. Para-aramid fi bers are tough, lightweight and tear-resistant. Leveraging these properties, para-aramid fi bers are used in ballistic protection and stab-resistant products such as protective clothing, vests, and helmets, and thereby help to keep people safe. Para-aramid fi bers also offer advantages such as superior structural strength and dimensional stability. For this reason, this material is proving effective in earthquake mitigation and disaster prevention work. Notably, it is being used in repairing and reinforcing degraded concrete structures. Meta-aramid fi bers are resistant to heat and combustion, and do not melt and adhere to the skin. Based on these properties, meta-aramid fi bers are expected to fi nd greater use in disaster readiness and heat-resistant clothing, such as fi refi ghter uniforms. Moreover, Teijin has also combined IT with the Teijin Group’s wide range of advanced, high performance materials in the development of smart wearables and other devices.
