“Carbon Club,” miscellaneous goods made with carbon cloth soft composite sheet

Sowa Textile has begun selling carbon-fiber based "Carbon Club" (daily items/miscellaneous goods such as coin purses, key chains, seal cases and belts) as of November 2006, which uses "Carbon cloth soft composite" sheet, one of the composite materials with carbon-fiber textile and resin, of which "The sectional committee for carbon fiber" (chairmanship: Maruhachi Co., Ltd.) of Toray Synthetic Fiber Cluster has been advancing the development. 　Expanding its applications is now under review to interior goods like partitions, tapestries, wall covering materials, blinds and curtains, as well as daily items and miscellaneous goods.

"Carbon cloth soft composite" sheet has achieved a high level physical quality, which fuzz from being formed because of rubbing, by combining carbon fiber which is stronger and lighter than iron and high-resistant flexible resin.

On a technical level, Sowa textile's flat weaving technology for carbon fiber which is arranged evenly without distorting fiber bundles, and new technology of Hiramatsu Sangyo, one of the members of "The sectional committee for carbon fiber," which adheres special resin evenly on carbon-fiber textiles have been combined.

With this development, it can be very flexible for designing without losing carbon-fiber's high quality, and a wide range of applications in products have become available because it can be cut and sewn in the same manner as handling normal fabrics and leathers, which is impossible for industrial use carbon-fiber composite material (hard composite) that uses a firm resin like epoxy.
