Tenax™ carbon fiber drives innovation in construction and civil engineering
Carbon fiber can be used in a wide range of construction applications due to its high strength and flexibility. This includes refurbishing existing structures, such as roads and bridges, and reinforcing entirely new structures. Tenax™ carbon fiber is driving innovation in the construction industry. Its conductivity makes it an integral material for smart buildings, conducting heat and energy, transmitting information about a building’s parameters, and shielding electromagnetic interference. Teijin is a leader in carbon fiber technology and we look forward to what the future holds in construction with this innovative material.
Reinforcing carbon concrete with Tenax™ carbon fiber
Carbon fiber is a non-corroding material, enabling concrete layers to be much thinner, as there is no steel core to protect from corrosion. Carbon concrete leads to a reduction in the amount of concrete used in buildings, with side benefits like lower logistic costs and shorter construction and drying times. Together with the CARBOrefit® consortium, we are continuing to innovate in the area of carbon concrete.
Carbon fiber applications in civil engineering
All Products
Tenax™ Filament Yarn and Tenax™ Short Fibers are key products for civil engineering. Carbon fiber laminates improve the mechanical properties of ceilings and columns, while carbon fiber used in the reinforcement of new buildings is a viable alternative to steel-reinforced precast elements, as they have better resistance to earthquake damage and corrosion. A new and fast-growing option is refurbishment with carbon fiber grid structures that can be applied with shotcrete.
Sustainable carbon fiber production and recycling
Teijin is innovating in carbon fiber not only with the focus on the future of the construction industry, but also on the future of the planet. Using carbon fiber in buildings and constructions requires less materials and lasts longer, providing a sustainable and viable alternative to previous methods and materials used in civil engineering.

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 provides high tensile strength to support building and engineering structures, by increasing stableness, reducing weight, and preventing cracks.
