The 9000 t/a inter-aramid fiber project will be partially put into operation in the third quarter

Recently, Yantai Taihe New Materials Co.
, Ltd.
stated at the research meeting: the meta-aramid fiber project involves 2 projects, of which the 9,000-ton new project will be put into production in the third quarter.
Aramid strives to start production gradually next year
.

Three application fields of meta-aramid

Taihe New Materials said that the future application of meta-aramid fiber is basically in the following three aspects:

First, it is industrial protective clothing.
This is one of the biggest growth points.
According to relevant legal requirements, the three major industries of petrochemical natural gas, metallurgy and non-ferrous mines, and non-coal mines must be equipped.
Now central enterprises and state-owned enterprises have begun to start.
This field involves There are many enterprises in the industry;

2.
The direction that may increase in the future is aramid paper;

3.
It is a new incremental business, such as the lithium battery diaphragm.
This project is in the pilot construction period.
A layer of aramid is coated on the surface of the base film.
After coating, it has high temperature resistance, good wettability and strong bonding force
.

Downstream applications of para-aramid

Taihe New Materials believes that the downstream application distribution of para-aramid fiber is about 60-70% in the field of optical cables, about 10-20% in the field of protection, about 10-20% in the field of automobiles, about 10-20% in the field of composite materials, and the new production capacity is put into production.
After that, the proportion of protection and rubber fields should increase
.

The main growth of para-aramid fiber is in the field of outdoor optical cable.
Previously, Taihe New Materials had less production capacity, and there was no special production line to provide the optical cable field.
After Ningxia Aramid was put into production, the sales volume of Taihe New Materials in the optical cable field increased significantly, and it also conformed to the domestic production.
Alternative needs
.
Now the annual production capacity of Taihe New Materials' para-aramid has reached 6,000 tons, and a technical transformation in Ningxia has also been put into production
.

Construction of a pilot line for aramid coated diaphragms

Referring to the application of aramid on battery separators, Taihe New Materials said: We do not do base films for battery separators, but provide aramid coating solutions
.
But last year, Tesla had a car with an aramid-coated diaphragm, which attracted the attention of the industry.
Taihe New Materials conducted a survey on this.
The feedback from downstream customers was that the cost of aramid fiber was too high and its competitiveness was not good.
Taihe New Materials Co.
, Ltd.
After the material has been verified, it is found that the cost should not increase so much
.
At present, the company has a team that is discussing and experimenting, and initially builds a pilot line
