Nippon Carbon. 

Nippon Carbon Co., Ltd. engages in the manufacture and sale of carbon products in Japan. The company provides carbon fiber products, such as molded heat insulating materials for high temperature furnaces; CARBORON, a soft felt used in heat insulators for high temperature furnaces; C/C Composite, a lightweight carbon material used in heat resistant composite structural members, high temperature furnace materials, trays, and jigs; and CARBEST, a carbon fiber packing material. It offers specialty carbon products, including isotropic graphite; high purity treatment graphite used for manufacturing device components for silicon and compound semiconductors, and optical fibers; carbon products for mechanical components comprising bearings, vane materials, seals, packaging, rings, and mechanical seals; BESCOAT, a silicon carbide coated products; and SC CARBON sliding composites. In addition, the company offers artificial graphite electrodes for use in high power electric arc furnaces; silicon carbide continuous fibers, such as Nicalon, Hi-Nicalon, and Hi-Nicalon Type S for use as composite reinforcement in ceramic, plastic, and other materials; and lithiumion secondary batteries used for cellular and smart phones, NBPC, tablet terminals, power tools, hybrid automobiles, and electric automobiles. Further, it provides impervious graphite RESBON, a corrosion resistant material; NICABEADS, which are surface coated micro bead shape materials; and NICAFILM, a flexible graphite sheet made from natural graphite. Nippon Carbon Co., Ltd. was incorporated in 1915 and is headquartered in Chuo, Japan.
