Leading companies in the carbon fiber sector came together…

Developed in the 1950s in Japan and the United States, carbon fibers have extraordinary physical properties: they are lightweight, resistant and rustproof. Their high cost has long reserved their use for aerospace and military applications.

At JEC World, leading companies in the carbon fiber sector came together to explore lower-cost solutions and showcase their innovations. The event serves as a platform for businesses in the carbon fiber industry to connect, collaborate, and find new opportunities.

Jilin Chemical Fiber Group

Jilin Chemical Fiber Group, established in 1959, is a well-known company specializing in the manufacturing of chemical fibers. It holds the distinction of being the world’s largest supplier of rayon, bamboo fiber, and acrylic fiber. Additionally, it is the largest carbon fiber production base in China.

Jilin Chemical Fiber Group is widely recognized for its exceptional carbon fiber, which boasts the highest production volume, lowest cost, and unparalleled performance in the industry. As a key player in the field of chemical fiber production in China, the company holds significant influence both domestically and internationally.

Mr. Wang, the International Director of the Carbon Fiber Division at Jilin Chemical Fiber Group, provided insightful explanations about the group’s development and its products during an interview with Airs de Paris Magazine.

According to Mr. Wang, the success of Jilin Chemical Fiber Group can be attributed to several key factors. Firstly, the company has established a robust raw material supply chain over the course of 30 years in the acrylic fiber industry. This strong foundation allows Jilin Chemical Fiber Group to ensure a consistent and reliable supply of raw materials for its carbon fiber production .

Additionally, Jilin Chemical Fiber Group has made significant strides in independently developing new production technologies and processes. These innovations have not only resulted in reduced production costs but have also ensured the stability and high performance of their carbon fiber products. This has enabled the company to achieve rapid growth, particularly in high-precision fields.

The continuous investment in research and development by Jilin Chemical Fiber Group has allowed them to stay at the forefront of the industry. By leveraging their expertise and technological advancements, they have been able to produce carbon fiber with the highest production volume, lowest cost, and exceptional performance.

Jilin Chemical Fiber Group has made significant advancements in the field of carbon fiber production, boasting multiple patented technologies. One notable achievement is their self-developed wet two-step process for carbon fiber precursor production, which holds independent intellectual property rights and more than 20 patents for precursor and carbon fiber.

The company’s unique wet process offers excellent impregnation, yarn formation, and high modulus advantages, making it the preferred material for sports and leisure products.

Large tow carbon fiber has driven the rapid development of the wind power industry due to its high cost-effectiveness . The high cost-performance ratio of the 12K wet process GX700 product has overcome cost constraints and technical application challenges in carbon fiber. The dry spray wet process GX800 and GX1000 series carbon fibers are widely used in aerospace, winding, and high-end fields due to their high strength and high modulus advantages .

Jilin Chemical Fiber Group has gained a reputation for providing excellent cost-performance ratio, attracting customers from various countries. Their commitment to delivering high-quality carbon fiber products has allowed more customers to incorporate carbon fiber into their projects, thereby promoting the development of the carbon fiber application industry.

The company has successfully expanded its customer base to include countries such as Italy, Turkey, the United Kingdom, Denmark, South Korea, and more.
