Teijin Carbon America (Rockwood, Tenn., U.S.) presents its latest innovations in carbon fiber technology with a strong focus on circularity, sustainability and high-performance solutions for aerospace, industrial markets and pressure vessels.

Tenax Next HTS45 E23 24K, introduced at JEC World 2025, represents a high-tenacity carbon fiber filament yarn that combines high performance with sustainability. Based on Teijin’s HTS platform, this product delivers a tensile strength above 4,800 MPa and a modulus of 240 GPa, ideal for demanding lightweight applications. Tenax Next also reduces environmental impact with up to 35% COâ‚‚ savings compared to conventional carbon fiber, and is produced using renewable energy and optional sustainable raw materials.

Another highlight is Tenax Next R2S P513 6-mm, a short carbon fiber made from repurposed fiber materials to reinforce thermoplastic compounds. Designed to advance circular economy goals, this product offers strong mechanical properties, reduced COâ‚‚ footprint, and full traceability via Teijin’s first Digital Product Passport (DPP) transparency tool.

Teijin Carbon also presents its first 36K intermediate modulus carbon fiber, Tenax IMS65 E23 36K. With a tensile strength of 5,800 MPa and a modulus of 280 GPa, it combines high mechanical performance with optimized processability, making it ideal for cost-sensitive applications like pressure vessels. An aerospace-grade version is currently in development.

In addition to its sustainability drive, Teijin Carbon is using its presence to emphasize a commitment to the U.S. market, with its Greenwood, South Carolina, plant beginning production of new materials to meet local demands.
