SDGs
Tras contribution
towards a decarbonized society
Advanced composite materials, specifically carbon, are renowned for their lightweight and high-strength properties. They display exceptional fatigue properties in various environments and are highly resistant to degradation. At Tras, we recognize the potential of these materials that extends beyond traditional applications in the automotive industry. We are dedicated to reimagining the possibilities, developing innovative products that defy industry norms and conventional expectations. Our mission is to continually rise to the challenge of crafting a novel future.
Since 2020, Tras has been pioneering the use of a new class of advanced composite materials known as "natural fibers" in our product development. Natural fiber products can reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 85% compared to conventional carbon products, making them an essential solution for our collective strive towards a decarbonized society. At Tras, we firmly believe in their practical application as a significant stride in environmental sustainability.
Charasteristics of Carbon Fiber
At Tras, how do we create our carbon products?
Our process for manufacturing ACM carbon products begins with crafting CAD data for the prepreg paper pattern, tailored to match the final product's design. This pattern is then precisely cut using a dedicated plotter.
Molds are crucial in our manufacturing process. Depending on the application, we create specific molds such as metal molds, chemical molds, and prepreg female molds. On these molds, we then carefully laminate the prepreg.
The laminated mold is then wrapped in a nylon backing film and sealed to achieve an authentic negative pressure environment. This assembly is placed in an autoclave, where it is simultaneously pressurized and heated. Throughout this process, a vacuum pump is used to evacuate any air from the backing film.
This pressurization ensures minimal and uniformly distributed residual porosity, leading to a high-quality, reliable carbon product that reflects the superior standards Tras is known for.
