The first set of large tow carbon fiber production line in China

On August 16, the first large-tow carbon fiber production line of Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company was handed over, and the installation of the project equipment was completed, which is a key step for the next stage of trial productio.

Wan Tao, secretary of the Shanghai Petrochemical Party Committee, said at the CCCC ceremony that after the project is completed and put into operation, it will increase the single-line production capacity of raw silk and carbon fiber, effectively reduce the production cost of carbon fiber, and improve the situation that China's large tow carbon fiber is all dependent on imports and long-term in short suppl.

In the carbon fiber industry, the number of carbon fibers per bundle is usually more than 48,000 (referred to as 48k) as large tow carbon fiber.

Shanghai Petrochemical has joined forces with more than 10 universities, research institutes and enterprises, including Shanghai Petrochemical Research Institute, Shanghai Engineering Company, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Fudan University, et.

The technical barriers to industrialized production of carbon fiber are extremely hig.

It is reported that since the start of the project construction, all subsidiaries of Sinopec have cooperated and cooperated to create "high-quality engineering, safety engineering, green engineering and sunshine engineering.
