Start manufacturing prepreg sheets for the spark plasma sintering process (SPS method) and start supplying plates by the SPS method.

As part of the SPS-related technology being developed as a manufacturing method for new SiC/SiC composites and C/SiC composites, the production base for NITE intermediate materials (prepreg sheets) for SPS methods has been completed, and NITE C/SiC prepreg sheets for SPS processing reinforced with Torayca carbon fibers; T300B have been named as C/SiC PPS for SPS (CPSPT3)). In addition, the manufacturing of the final product using this product by the SPS method will also be initiated under the agreement on specifications and supply conditions with customers.
In addition, with the start of production of this product, the name of the existing products will be changed as follows, and production under contract will be carried out.
C/SiC PPS for Hot Press (CPHPT3)
C/SIC PPS for HIP (CPHIPT3)
