Shanghai Petrochemical inaugurates its carbon fibre composite experimental base
Shanghai Petrochemical carbon fibre composite experimental base opened. This initiative reflects the requirements and efforts of Chinese conglomerate Sinopec (parent company of Shanghai Petrochemical) to build a world-class carbon fibre industrial base.
This will effectively achieve a seamless transition from small trials to pilot trials, and then to industrialised technology development, forming a series of solutions from composite material development to application, and further giving full play to industry, academia and research.
At present, a number of experimental production lines have been built or are under construction, including a thermoplastic panel line, a thermoplastic prepreg line, a thermoset prepreg line, a panel pultrusion line, a threaded bar pultrusion line, a fabric pultrusion line and a high-performance resin line. The resin line has pilot and mass production capabilities for composite materials with thermosetting and thermoplastic properties, and diversified preparation processes.
In the future, Shanghai Petrochemical says it will continue to improve its technical level and production capacity, actively moving towards the goal of “strengthening and optimising the new materials industry with carbon fibre as the core“.
