Features of Kureha’s carbon fiber “KRECA”

About the world’s leading pioneer
In 1970, Kureha industrialized pitch-based carbon fiber for the first time in history. Since then, our innovative technology has been meeting the challenges and various requirements of our customers all over the world.
High-purity products
KRECA carbon fiber is made from petroleum pitch, which has a low level of metal impurity. It is therefore superior in terms of oxidation resistance and has a longer working life when used inside a furnace.
Produced from raw material using an integrated process
Kureha produces carbon fiber from the raw material pitch by means of an integrated process. It is then chopped, milled, felt-punched, and machined for the insulation we manufacture, enabling us to produce both flexibly and sustainably to achieve high-quality results.
Broad range of products
KRECA has a broad range of products that meet a variety of customer needs, including yarn, felt, chopped fiber, rigid felt, and rigid slurry.
Quality control and environmental management system certificates obtained
Kureha’s parent factory in Iwaki, Japan is certified in accordance with quality control standard ISO9001 and environmental management system standard ISO14001.
