Nippon Carbon Co., Ltd. (NCRBF) Research

Nippon Carbon Co., Ltd., established in Tokyo, Japan, in 1915, specializes in the production and distribution of an extensive array of carbon-based products within the Japanese market. Its diverse portfolio includes carbon fiber products such as molded thermal insulation for high-temperature furnaces, CARBORON soft felt for similar insulating purposes, and lightweight C/C Composites employed in heat-resistant structural parts, furnace components, trays, and jigs. The company also offers CARBEST carbon fiber packing materials. Within its specialty carbon segment, Nippon Carbon provides isotropic graphite and high-purity treated graphite, critical for manufacturing components in silicon and compound semiconductors, as well as optical fiber devices. This category also features carbon materials designed for mechanical applications across electronics, machinery, and the metallurgy industry, alongside VESCOAT (silicon carbide-coated products for semiconductor and LED device manufacturing) and SC CARBON sliding composites. Furthermore, the company manufactures artificial graphite electrodes vital for high-power electric arc furnaces. It also supplies silicon carbide continuous fibers (including Nicalon, Hi-Nicalon, and Hi-Nicalon TypeS), which are used as reinforcement in ceramic and plastic composite materials. Nippon Carbon is also a producer of lithium-ion secondary batteries, powering a wide range of devices from mobile phones and tablets to power tools, as well as hybrid and electric automobiles. Completing its product line are impervious graphite RESBON, a corrosion-resistant material; NICABEADS, which are surface-coated micro-bead materials; and NICAFILM, a flexible graphite sheet made from natural graphite.
