The high-temperature resistant new materials plant was put into operation in Shanghai and will fill the gap in China's high-performance fiber materials industry

It is reported that on October 25, the first phase of the Shanghai Rongrong New Materials Advanced Manufacturing Base project was completed and put into operation
in the Lingang New Area of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone (hereinafter referred to as the Lingang New Area).

Rongrong New Materials Lingang Industrial Base Project is a major engineering project in Shanghai in 2022, with an investment of 3.
8 billion yuan in the first phase and an area of 142 mu
.
According to Guan Ketian, senior vice president of Shanghai Rongrong New Material Technology Co.
, Ltd.
, this production plant with self-research and self-production of new materials for high-temperature resistant alumina fibers will become the third in the world and the first enterprise in China with mass production capabilities for such products, and fill the gap
in China's high-performance fiber materials industry.

Alumina continuous fiber is internationally recognized as a new generation of main materials for high-temperature resistant hot end components, with high melting point, low thermal conductivity, good insulation, strong chemical resistance and other characteristics
.
The material has advantages in the preparation of ablation-resistant thermal insulation composites, which are suitable for high-end fields
such as aviation, aerospace, marine, thermoelectric, petrochemical, semiconductor, automotive and high-temperature furnaces.
Alumina continuous fiber has previously failed to achieve stable mass production
in China.

Two years ago, Shanghai Rongrong New Material Technology Co.
, Ltd.
came to Lingang with technology to find industrialization space
.
Since the entire production line is about 160 meters long like a track, it is difficult to find a suitable plant
with strict requirements for the production environment.
"But we are very optimistic about the project of all independent research and development of process equipment such as Rongrong New Material, and has completely independent intellectual property rights, so we set up a special working group to find a venue
for the enterprise.
" Lu Yu, deputy director of the High-tech Division of the Management Committee of Shanghai Lingang New Area, introduced
.

Lu Yu said that the completed and put into production project has basically possessed the world's leading "R & D, production" integration capabilities of high-temperature resistant materials, which can not only break the "stuck neck" state of related products and process equipment, but also help promote the formation of a new industrial system
based on the upstream and downstream industrial clusters of alumina fiber and related production, education and research as soon as possible.

According to Guan Ketian, China started late in the field of high-temperature resistant new materials, and the capacity of the first phase of the Shanghai Rongrong New Materials Advanced Manufacturing Base completed and put into use can reach 700 tons
.
Guan Ketian said that the company will strive to complete the industrialization and application of alumina fiber within three to five years, and provide high-strength high-temperature-resistant composite materials and composite special-shaped structural parts
for the upgrading of China's high-end equipment.
