KRECA
An Industrial-use, Petroleum Pitch-based Carbon Fiber launched in 1970 as a "World first" carbon fiber for industrial use.

KRECA CHOP
KRECA CHOP is a milled or chopped fiber characterized by high strength and excellent resistance to wear,
heat and corrosion. It gives suitable characteristics in various composites such as plastics and rubbers.

Main Matrix:
PTFE, PVDF, PEEK, PA, PP, Phenoric Resin, NBR

KRECA FR
KRECA FR is a rigidized fibrous carbon material made from pitch based carbon fiber felt. It is available in flat plate, disc and cylinder as well as other forms. It is widely used as heat insulation material in high vacuum and inert atmosphere furnaces that perform heat treatment, sintering and crystal growing. It can be operated at temperatures up to 3000 degrees C.

Key Features:
• Long life and durability
• Low heat loss
• Stable thermal conductivity
• High purity
• Low dustiness
• Easy handling
• Light weight
• Choice of various surface finish
• Choice of various shapes
