Introducing NicalonTM silicon carbide to benefit evolving industries
We NGS Advanced Fibers Co., Ltd. develop, manufacture and sell silicon carbide continuous fiber Nicalon™. Nicalon™ is a silicon carbide continuous tow that possesses advanced properties when compared to traditional materials, including increased strength and heat and corrosion resistance. Today, products containing Nicalon™ are mainly used in the aerospace industry as composite reinforcement. Nicalon™ brings improved performance opportunities to ceramic, plastic, and metal matrices (CMC, PMC, MMC).
We offer you best-in-class performance through advanced materials.
Best-in-class performance through advanced materials

Next generation aircraft engines will use Nicalon™ to bring economic and environmental benefits to airline customers.
Aircraft engine manufacturers have chosen Nicalon™ to significantly reduce weight, increase durability and improve fuel efficiency of engines.
