Reporters recently learned from the District Economic and Information Bureau that Keqiao’s high-performance carbon fiber and composite materials cluster was selected into the pilot list of a new batch of “new star” industrial clusters in Zhejiang Province.
It is understood that the “New Star” industrial cluster relies on new technologies, focuses on new fields, creates new supplies, leads future development, creates competitive advantages, and is a spark that can start a prairie fire. It is a spark with rapid growth and technology. A leading and ecologically synergistic enterprise community. By 2025, Zhejiang will have cultivated a total of about 50 “new star” industrial clusters with an industrial scale of tens of billions of yuan or above. “The industrial cluster mainly focuses on emerging industrial fields, including digital economy, life and health, new materials and other fields.” said the relevant person in charge of the District Economic and Information Bureau.
Recently, in Lanyin Fashion Town, a 120,000-ton PAN-based carbon fiber precursor project is under construction in full swing. After the project reaches full production, it will make up for the “stuck” situation in the supply of carbon fiber raw materials. . “We will continue to enhance the independent controllability and competitiveness of the industrial chain, effectively ensure the safety of the carbon fiber industry chain, and achieve the goal of ‘chain length + chain owner’ in the carbon fiber industry chain.” Li Junhai, chairman of Zhejiang Baojing Carbon Materials Co., Ltd., said.
This company is one of the core companies in Keqiao’s high-performance carbon fiber and composite materials cluster. In recent years, Keqiao District has continued to deepen its efforts in the field of high-performance carbon fiber and composite materials, focusing on chain building, chain repair, and chain strengthening, accurately drawing industrial chain maps, upgrading and expanding advanced manufacturing clusters, and will be located in Keqiao Economic and Technological Development Zone. The high-performance carbon fiber and composite materials cluster is a key industry cluster to cultivate. At present, this industry cluster has gathered 71 related new material companies, with an output value of 7 billion yuan in 2021, and has successfully introduced large-scale corporate projects such as Shanghai Baowu Carbon Fiber, Rongsheng Group, and Hengyi Group, Meisheng Automotive Interiors, Sun and Moon More than 10 medium-sized functional new material companies, such as new material food-grade film, Chunming cellulose film, and Jinjing automotive mobile phone film, combined with leading companies such as Zhejiang Baojing Carbon Materials and Jinggong Technology, have initially formed a high-performance composite material The development pattern of the new material industry chain includes the production of raw materials – the preparation of various high-performance fibers – the preparation and application of composite material products. Through cultivation, the industrial cluster plans to attract more than 10 landmark projects by 2025, achieve a total project investment of more than 10 billion yuan, and the industrial output value of the new industry platform exceed 15 billion yuan.
While high-quality projects are replenishing the chain and building momentum, high-energy platforms also lay a solid foundation for a strong chain. The team of Academician Ni Qingqing of the Provincial Modern Textile Technology Innovation Center and Baojing Composite Materials jointly built a composite materials laboratory. “Key Technologies and Industrialization of Molding, Impregnation and Resin Composite of Carbon Fiber Preforms” won the 2023 Provincial “Pioneer” and “Leader” Project; the “Research and Industrialization of Key Technologies for Thousand-Ton Large Tow Carbon Fiber Complete Equipment” developed by the center’s Hu Xudong team in conjunction with Jinggong Technology also won the first prize for scientific and technological progress from China Textile Federation this year, reversing the low localization rate of continuous carbonization equipment. Despite the “stuck” situation, it sells well in the domestic market and at the same time achieves exports to developed countries.
“We will take green, high-end, and digital development as the main lines to build a full industry chain of R&D, manufacturing, application, testing, and services for high-performance carbon fiber and composite materials, and accelerate the establishment of the country’s leading high-performance Carbon fiber and composite materials manufacturing cluster, a well-known domestic high-performance carbon fiber and composite material innovation highland.” said the relevant person in charge of the District Economic and Information Bureau.
