Dialead Pitch Based Carbon Fibre

Mitsubishi Chemical has developed high performance pitch based carbon fibre Dialead, which is available in a wide range of formats, from the high Modulus to ultra high Modulus grade and high thermal conductivity grades. Sumitomo Corporation Europe is responsible for the sales, marketing and business development of Dialead throughout Europe.

Dialead has gained a reputation for high performance and affordability in the composites industry. It has proven advantages for numerous applications such as aerospace parts, industrial rollers, plastic compounds, sporting goods, civil engineering and brakes. For example, satellite manufacturers have utilised Dialead to produce composite parts at a fraction of the weight of traditional materials and with improved performance. Rollers for manufacturing equipment are being produced with significant weight savings and a stiffness greater than steel. This allows the machinery user to increase line speed and reduce scrap. Engineering plastics or moulding compounds have effectively taken advantage of Dialead's superior electrical properties.



Sumitomo Corporation Europe seeks to develop new applications for carbon fibres. We are dedicated to participating in the growth of the composites industry as a whole and to meet the demands of a range of industrial sectors and customers.
