Teijin's Sereebo CFRTP Used in Panasonic’s New Digital HC-X2000 and HC-X1500

Teijin Limited informed that its Sereebo carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) has been selected for use in Panasonic Corporation’s newly launched digital 4K video cameras, the HC-X2000 and HC-X1500. A version of Sereebo developed for injection molding, which uses Teijin’s polycarbonate resin Panlite as the matrix, has been adopted for the handle unit and top cover of both cameras. Sereebo, the world's first CFRTP for mass production, significantly reduces molding time to enhance production efficiency. The HC-X2000 and HC-X1500 video cameras both offer 4K60p/10-bit videography for professional applications including television broadcasting. The HC-X2000, which is about 40% smaller and some 15% lighter than conventional models, combines excellent mobility with a robust 4 hours and 35 minutes of continuous shooting.
