carbon nanotubes /Vapor-Grown Carbon Fiber

VGCF^TM Series
Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes Manufactured by SHOWA DENKO K. K.

SHOWA DENKO K. K. is one of the biggest manufacturers of a multiwall carbon nanotube in the world.
SHOWA DENKO K. K. has been expanding its production capacity since SHOWA DENKO started to manufacture VGCF^TM with 20MT/y of production capacity in 1996. The total production capacity has reached 500MT/y (VGCF^TM, VGCF-H^TM ; 100MT/y, VGCF-X^TM ; 400MT/y).
Customers can choose the best carbon nanotube suitable in various uses from a battery to a composite from 3 kinds of VGCF^TM series with different diameter, length, and so on.
Please contact us if you need a dispersion, a master batch, or a composite containing VGCF^TM series.
