Tenax™ carbon fiber sets new standards in the marine industry

Carbon fiber is being used in the next generation of cruisers, racing vessels, and passenger ships. The high stiffness, light weight, and tensile strength of Tenax™ carbon fiber makes it an ideal material for marine products, components, and parts. 

Tenax™ carbon fiber for marine environments

Tenax™ carbon fiber from Teijin is used in many marine applications, including masts, sail cloths, hulls, superstructures, drive shafts, and propellers. Lightweight and versatile carbon fiber allows marine vessels to make significant gains in speed, efficiency, and stability, while an enhanced ability to withstand aging, impacts, corrosion, and mechanical fatigue helps to improve safety and durability.

Carbon fiber in shipbuilding

All Products

Tenax™ Carbon Fiber enables marine manufacturers to take a new approach to design and innovation. Carbon fiber is no longer reserved for one-off applications in elite yacht racing events. All vessels can benefit from weight reductions that result in significant energy and emissions savings. The use of carbon fiber composite materials also helps to reduce a ship's operating costs, as less maintenance is required. 

Sustainable carbon fiber in the marine industry

Teijin is innovating in carbon fiber not only with the focus on the future of the marine industry, but also on the future of the planet. Lighter vessels with reduced energy consumption help to significantly reduce emissions, while recyclable carbon fiber enables more recycling in the future, reducing waste.

Aerospace has always been an industry of technological revolution. Today, with the development of transport vehicles for space travel and the next generation of supersonic aircraft in development, the industry continues to drive innovation to new heights. (geklaut, umformulieren!!!)

In the aerospace sector lightweight is key and the global demand for thermoplastic materials is rising. These materials could take a leading role to sharply reduce the lifetime fuel consumption of an aircraft, to extend its flight range, to significantly reduce emissions and to prepare for recycling cycles of the future.

Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Thermoplastics (CFRTP) are often named in one breath with benefits like strength-to-weight ratio, durability, impact behaviour, series capabilities, sustainability and to lower the total cost of critical structures. Additionally to this unique performance the materials also deliver proven resistance to extreme conditions and environments.

 

Tenax™ Filament Yarn

Tenax™ Filament Yarn has high tensile strength and high elastic modulus to provide lightweight solutions for the marine industry. The yarn helps to produce faster yachts and sailing boats, with lower fuel consumption and enhanced durability. It can also be used for parts and components, such as drive shafts, davits, cranes, and masts.

Used Products :

Tenax™ ThermoPlastics

Tenax™ ThermoPlastics provide the processing freedom to produce solutions with amorphous or crystalline polymers. In the marine industry, modern yachts and sailboats benefit from structural reinforcements, with parts and components that have high mechanical and durability properties.

Used Products :

Tenax™ Dry Reinforcements

Tenax™ Dry Reinforcements can be used in boat hulls, hatches, superstructures, and deck furniture. Dry reinforced materials have a smooth, even surface quality, excellent mechanical properties, and superb drapeability even for complex shaped pieces. They are often used for luxury and high performance sport marine solutions.

Used Products :

Tenax™ ThermoSets

Marine components below the water surface are subject to impacts with floating or submerged debris and require a high resistance to fatigue. Tenax™ ThermoSets are designed to handle extreme conditions and environments, making them ideal for the construction of marine propellers and boat hulls.

Used Products :

Boat hull and hatches

Tenax™ Carbon Fiber based prepregs and non-crimp fabrics are used to produce boat hulls and hatches for reduced weight and higher performance, while corrision-resistant carbon fiber can withstand harsh marine environments far better than steel or aluminum. 

Used Products :

Superstructures and deck furniture

Tenax™ Carbon Fiber based prepregs and non-crimp fabrics are recommended for deck furniture and radar and equipment masts, especially on the upper decks of large motoryachts. Reducing weight at higher levels gives the vessel more stability, while corrision-resistant carbon fiber can withstand harsh marine environments far better than steel or aluminum.  

Used Products :

Radar masts / Equipment bridges / Holder

Tenax™ Filament Yarn is used for telescopic radar masts on luxury yachts. Reducing weight at higher levels gives the vessel more stability, while corrision-resistant carbon fiber can withstand harsh marine environments far better than steel or aluminum.  

Used Products :

Carbon-Davits (Carbon Fiber board cranes) and gangways

Tenax™ Carbon Fiber based prepregs and non-crimp fabrics are used to produce davits and gangways for reduced weight and higher performance. Carbon fiber davits and gangways are easier to put in place and to use, while having the durability and resistance to withstand long exposure to sunlight and salt water.

Used Products :

Drive shafts

Drive shafts made from Tenax™ Carbon Fiber can be made to a longer length. They provide reduced weight, less vibration, and higher performance compared to standard steel products. 

Used Products :

Carbon couplings and propeller blades

Tenax™ Carbon Fiber based prepregs, non-crimp fabrics and filament yarn are used to produce carbon couplings and propeller blades that reduce vibration, enhance performance, and improve fuel efficiency. 

Used Products :

Foil wingstructure

On the wing structures of hydrofoil vessels, Tenax™ Dry Reinforcements are used to provide improved stiffness and durability while reducing weight and cost. Corrision-resistant carbon fiber can also withstand harsh marine environments far better than steel or aluminum.
