China Carbon Fiber and Composites Alliance established

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology promoted the establishment of the “China Carbon Fiber and Composite Materials Industry Development Alliance”. The “China Carbon Fiber and Composite Materials Industry Development Alliance” initiated by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, led by the China National Building Materials Group, and initiated by 42 carbon fiber upstream and downstream companies and scientific research institutes was established in Beijing on August 20, 2014. Su Bo, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that as a strategic new material for carbon fiber, in recent years, as high-performance carbon fiber technology has achieved breakthroughs and production costs have continued to decrease, the proportion of carbon fiber used in the industrial sector has continued to grow.

Su Bo believes that after many years of development, China’s carbon fiber industry has made breakthroughs in key technologies, equipment, industrial production and applications, and initially established an industrial chain from raw silk and carbon fiber to composite materials and products. Foreign monopoly. So far, China's T300 grade carbon fiber has achieved mass production, T700 grade carbon fiber has initially achieved industrialization, and T800 grade carbon fiber key technology has achieved breakthroughs. Domestic carbon fiber has gradually been used in aerospace, rail transportation, wind power blades, transmission cables, oil drilling, building reinforcement, sports and leisure and other fields.

Su Bo believes that the establishment of the Carbon Fiber Industry Alliance will help integrate upstream and downstream industrial chain resources, and focus on solving batch stability and cost control issues for low-end carbon fiber products such as T300, and strengthening high-quality oils, sizing agents, and resins. Carbon fiber auxiliary material supporting ability. Su Bo said that the Carbon Fiber Industry Alliance must promote the establishment of a set of application design standards that are suitable for domestic carbon fiber product standards, solve the problem of restricting the standards of China's carbon fiber downstream application bottlenecks and application design criteria, and gradually expand the substitution of domestic carbon fiber for imported carbon fiber.
