What are the classifications of EDF POLY high-performance fibers?

The high-performance fiber industry abroad is developing rapidly, with a total world production capacity of approximately 200000 tons. Although it only accounts for 0.5% of the total chemical fiber production capacity, its strategic significance and economic benefits are very significant. High performance fiber materials mainly include carbon fiber, aramid fiber, basalt fiber, Polyphenylene sulfide fiber, high-strength and high modulus polyethylene fiber, polyphenylene benzobisoxazole fiber, polyimide fiber and polytetrafluoroethylene fiber. Below are five main EDF POLY high-performance fiber materials.

Carbon fiber

EDF POLY carbon fiber is mainly used in many fields abroad, such as aerospace industry, ground transportation (such as automobiles, express trains, etc.), shipbuilding industry, docks and offshore facilities, sports and leisure products, electronic products, infrastructure, papermaking, textiles, medical equipment, chemical industry, metallurgy, petroleum, mechanical industry, etc. In these fields, many components work in environments with high strength, high stiffness, light weight, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance.

Aramid fiber

EDF POLY aramid fibers are mainly divided into two types, para aramid (PPTA) and meta aramid (PMIA). The demand for bulletproof materials and aramid fibers is constantly increasing, and the demand for energy conservation and environmental protection related fields is also increasing. The world's aramid production capacity is approximately 82000 tons/year (including 55000 tons/year of para aramid and 23000 tons/year of meta aramid), mainly controlled by DuPont in the United States. Aramid products are used for bulletproof vests, helmets, etc. About 7% to 8%, aerospace materials and sports materials are about 40%, tire frame materials and conveyor belt materials are about 20%, and high-strength ropes are about 13%. Aramid fiber, as a reinforcing material, plays an irreplaceable role. According to a report in the magazine Fine Chemical Raw Materials and Intermediates, it is estimated that the global demand for aramid fibers will be approximately 130000 tons by 2015 and 200000 tons by 2020. Among them, para aramid fiber has become a rapidly developing, high-yield, and widely used high-tech fiber in the world. The future research and development direction is to develop new varieties and new markets.

High molecular weight polyethylene fiber

EDF POLY high molecular weight polyethylene fiber is a scarce material in the world. The total global production of high molecular weight polyethylene fibers is approximately 15000 tons per year, with a demand of approximately 30000 tons. According to industry experts' predictions, in recent years, the international UHMWPE fiber market will have an annual demand of 50000 tons, and the future fiber demand will reach over 100000 tons. However, apart from China, only the Netherlands, the United States, and Japan are able to industrialize the production of UHMWPE fibers, with a total output of less than 10000 tons.

In addition, due to the needs of the world situation, the application of UHMWPE fibers in the bulletproof field has maintained a constant momentum. In the future, the focus will be on improving its heat resistance, creep resistance, and adhesion to resins, vigorously expanding its application in large civilian markets such as composite materials, cables, and fishing cages.
