    "Ice and snow as the media, go to the Winter Olympics together", on the evening of February 4, the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics was held in Beijing


    Carbon fiber is a high-strength, high-modulus new fiber material with a carbon content of more than 95%.


    Not long ago, after two years of strong cooperation between Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical and CRRC, the domestic carbon fiber finally "boarded" the Guangzhou high-speed subway "Bay Area Blue" train for the first time


    It is reported that the hood using carbon fiber composite material can reduce the weight by 35%-40% compared with the aluminum alloy material of the same module


    It is understood that Guangzhou Metro Line 18, which is known as the fastest subway in the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area" and has a maximum speed of 160 kilometers per hour, will be officially opened for operation on September 28, 2021


    At present, Shanghai Petrochemical's 12,000 tons/year 48K large tow carbon fiber project is under intense construction, and the first phase of the project is expected to be completed and put into operation by the end of this year


    In 2024, after Shanghai Petrochemical's 12,000 tons/year 48K large tow carbon fiber project is fully completed and put into production, it will change the situation that China's large tow carbon fiber is dependent on imports and the long-term supply is in short supply.
