T1000 grade carbon fiber has broad application prospects. At present, my country has achieved thousand-ton mass production.
The production of T1000-grade carbon fiber involves polymerization, spinning, carbonization and other links. Due to the high technical content, only the United States, Japan and other countries had T1000-grade carbon fiber production capacity in the early days, such as Toray Corporation of Japan and Hexel Corporation of the United States. Due to import restrictions, my country’s T1000 grade carbon fiber market is in short supply.
T1000 grade carbon fiber is an ultra-high-strength carbon fiber made from polyacrylonitrile (PAN). T1000 grade carbon fiber has the characteristics of high strength, high tensile modulus, low elongation and good chemical stability. It has broad application prospects in aerospace, automobiles, sports equipment, national defense industry, construction, marine engineering and other fields.
Carbon fiber is an inorganic fiber material. According to different raw materials, carbon fiber can be divided into polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber, pitch-based carbon fiber, viscose-based carbon fiber, etc. Among them, PAN-based carbon fiber is the mainstream product in the market, accounting for about 90% of the market. Carbon fiber production technologies are mainly divided into two types: wet spinning and dry-jet wet spinning. Dry-jet wet spinning is the mainstream production technology of high-performance carbon fibers, especially ultra-high-strength carbon fibers of T1000 level and above.
According to the “2023-2027 China T1000 Grade Carbon Fiber Industry Market Supply and Demand Status and Development Trend Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, Carbon fiber has a wide range of applications. With breakthroughs in related technologies, the scale of my country’s carbon fiber industry continues to expand. In 2022, the output of my country’s carbon fiber industry will reach about 48,000 tons. At present, my country has become a major producer and consumer of carbon fiber in the world, but domestically produced carbon fibers are mostly concentrated in the mid- to low-end carbon fiber fields such as T300, T700, and T800. The proportion of ultra-high-strength carbon fibers such as T1000 and T1100 is still low.
my country’s T1000 grade carbon fiber research started late, but has developed rapidly. At present, my country’s T1000 grade carbon fiber has achieved thousand-ton mass production. There are many domestic companies with T1000 grade carbon fiber R&D and production capabilities, including Zhongfu Shenying, Guangwei Composite Materials, Changsheng Technology, Zhongjian Technology, Jiangsu Hengshen and other companies. Among them, Zhongfu Shenying’s 100-ton T1000 The carbon fiber production line was successfully put into operation in 2018.
In the field of aerospace, T1000 grade carbon fiber is one of the necessary materials for the development of aircraft fuselages and parts, aerospace launch vehicles, and satellites; in the automotive field, T1000 grade carbon fiber has the characteristics of lightweight and high strength, meeting the needs of lightweight development of automobiles. , can be used in the manufacture of automobile bodies and parts; in the field of sports equipment, T1000 grade carbon fiber can be used in the production of tennis rackets, golf clubs and other equipment.
Industry analysts said that my country is a major carbon fiber production country and has gradually achieved T700, T800, T1000 and T1100 level carbon fiber production in recent years. Supply, thanks to core technology breakthroughs, the supply capacity of T1000 and above carbon fiber is constantly improving. T1000 grade carbon fiber is a high-performance carbon fiber. Under the background of high-quality economic development in my country, the T1000 grade carbon fiber market has broad development space.
