Teijin Automotive Technologies, a European subsidiary of Teijin Ltd., has announced an alliance with Aeronautical Service Srl (Rome), a technology company specializing in ceramic composite materials, as per Chemweek.
This collaboration aims to expedite the industrialization of high-temperature-resistant components utilizing proprietary ceramic matrix composite technologies.As part of the agreement, Teijin Automotive Technologies has secured exclusive production rights for the automotive sector within its European facilities, alongside extended production rights in the marine, aerospace and industrial sectors. Aeronautical Service will license its FireA technology, which offers a high-temperature-resistant, fireproof and lightweight material formulation.Teijin said the partnership will focus on the industrialization and standardization of production processes for ceramic matrix composites. The collaboration is set to scale production capabilities to meet the increasing international demand from European facilities. Together, the companies will develop functional applications and market the resulting solutions to global institutional and industrial clients.According to Teijin, traditional composite materials have long been lauded for their weight and performance advantages; however, they have faced limitations regarding fire resistance. The new generation of high-temperature ceramic matrix composites promises to overcome these challenges, enabling the design and manufacture of structural components that blend the benefits of lightweight composites with comprehensive fire protection. These advanced materials are engineered to withstand extreme temperatures of up to 2,000 degrees C without producing smoke or toxic emissions.By integrating Aeronautical Service’s ceramic formulations with Teijin Automotive Technologies’ range of industrial production solutions for composite parts, the partnership aims to facilitate the cost-effective, high-volume production of fireproof components.
