Activated Carbon & Carbon Fiber Products
As a pioneer of petroleum pitch type carbon fiber and bead-shaped activated carbon, Kureha's carbon products are desired by the worldwide industry for its high purity, flexibleness, and variety of types.
Features of BAC - Bead-shaped Activated Carbon
Wisdom of the World's Pioneer
In 1972, Kureha industrialized pitch type bead-shaped activated carbon for the first time in history. Since then, we have kept accommodating to the high level and various demands by our original technologies.
High Purity with Less Metal
BAC's low impurity comes from the raw material, petroleum pitch.

Certificates of Quality Control
Kureha's mother factory in lwaki, Japan obtained quality control standard ISO 9001 and environmental management system standard ISO 14001 for both its Bead-shaped Activated Carbon and its Carbon Fiber product lines.
Features of KRECA - Carbon Fiber
Expertise from a Global Pioneer
In 1970, Kureha industrialized pitch type carbon fiber for the first time in history. Since then, our innovative technology has been satisfying the challenging and various requirements of our customers all over the world.
Integrated Production Process
Kureha produces carbon fiber through an integrated process from raw material pitch, which is then chopped, milled, felt punched, and machined for the insulation we manufacture. Therefore, we achieve flexible and sustainable production with high quality results.
High Purity Products
KRECA carbon fiber is made from petroleum pitch, which has low metal impurity. Therefore, it is superior in oxidation resistance and has a longer lifetime inside a furnace.
Diverse Product Lineup
KRECA has a diverse product lineup such as yarn, felt, chopped fiber, rigid felt, and rigid slurry to accommodate various needs.
