To develop its carbon production,
China faces many challenges
China is a big consumer of carbon fibres. These are then re-exported
mainly in the form of finished parts, especially for the sports & leisure
sector. However, even with all the country's carbon players and advocates, local fibre production is getting a slow start. While some players
have solved the technical equation, the overall economic challenge is
more complicated.
Many players, low output
C
hina started developing
PAN-based carbon fibres
during the mid-1960s,
but the 1966-1976 Cultural
Revolution curbed its development. This only started up
again when Deng Xiaoping
ended the country's isolation
(source: wantchinatimes.
com). The first continuous
laboratory production started
during the 1970s, and only
small-scale production
existed until 2000. Research
has continued since then, with
significantly increased production (source: Xi'an Fu Ruida
Technology) [1].
Today, most of the Chinese
production consists of fibres
that are equivalent to Toray's
T300 range. Small volumes of
T700- and T800-equivalent
fibres are apparently also produced. Higher grades equivalent to T1000 and M55J are
under development (source:
China Chemical Fibres Association) [1].
In China, more than 40 companies of all sizes are involved
in carbon fibre production
(Figure 1). The Chinese
carbon fibre industry has
grown rapidly in recent years,
but is hampered by outdated
manufacturing processes and
equipment that make locally produced fibres more
expensive than imported ones
(source: Zhang Dingjin/China
Composites Group Corporation Ltd. (CCGC)/September
2015). According to the China
Chemical Fibres Association,
output is low for the average
Chinese carbon fibre manufacturer. Chinese production
has been growing at a fairly
steady rate since 2007 (Figure
2), from 200 to 3,200 metric
tons (MT) in 2014. However,
average output for producers
as a group is only 20.24% of
China's theoretical capacity,
which is 15,810 MT (Figure
3). One major player on the
Chinese scene is Zhongfu
Shenying, which, according to
CCGC, accounts for 50% of all
carbon fibre sales in China.
