How Will Carbon Fiber Manufacturing Quadruple to Meet Market Demands?
The Carbon Fiber industry must begin considering how 10,000 ton per year lines for PAN precursor can be achieved to ensure increased capacity for projected future automotive demand at a lower cost. This presentation will demonstrate some of the possible plant configurations for key variables such as towband width, filament count, thermal residence times and operability. The risks associated with making such a massive jump from today’s 2,500 ton per year lines are also examined in this analysis.
