【Supercategory:6. Products Subcategory:6.7 New products of 2019

 Mitsubishi Chemical will build a production base of carbon fiber sheet molding compounds (CFSMCs) in Italy where composites are studied and developed actively. SMCs are made by press molding and the production cycle time is shorter than that of other CFRPs. Mitsubishi Chemical expects their CFSMCs to be used in the automotive structural component business.
