One, glass fiber products with excellent performance, wide range of uses
Glass fiber products have become the building, transportation, electronics, electrical, chemical, metallurgy, sports, environmental protection, military defense and other areas of essential raw materials. In 70% ~ 75% for the preparation of reinforced thermosetting and thermoplastic plastics, which is widely used in all kinds of industrial equipment and building materials (such as the production of glass steel cooling tower, pressure pipes, water tank, storage tank, tank and anticorrosion etc.) are widely used in petroleum chemical industry, infrastructure construction and auto industry. The remaining 25% ~ 30% is widely used in the manufacture of printed circuit board, wind turbine blade and filter net, and is widely used in the field of electronic and electrical, environmental protection, new energy and so on.
Two, the international glass industry affected by the economic cycle, the wave of rising
Glass fiber from the birth of 1938, has been separated from the traditional glass industrial matrix, to become a new independent industrial system. Throughout the history of the development of glass fiber industry can be seen, the glass fiber industry has always been the development of wave.
During World War II, with the application of glass fiber and glass steel to prevent shrapnel pierced the drums, radome war facilities, accelerate the development of research and application of glass steel. In 1958, the production of the drawing method of tank furnace has greatly promoted the production of. From 1987 to 1989, there was a global shortage of fiberglass supply, which led to a surge in output. With the economic recession in western countries, 1990 to 1991 for two consecutive years, the global decline in glass fiber production. by the global economic recovery, the glass fiber industry began to recover from 1994 for 4 consecutive years, a substantial increase in the number of glass fiber. From 1997 to 1999 by the Southeast Asian financial crisis, the development of the global glass industry is slow. Through the IT industry downturn and the impact of the United States 911 incident, the global glass fiber production to maintain a high growth rate of 8.1% compound growth rate. Since the economic crisis in 2008, once again making the glass industry into a difficult situation, the major companies inventory backlog, a number of production lines. 2010, the momentum of economic recovery, the glass fiber industry is expected to usher in a continuous high growth.
And cement, glass and other traditional building materials, glass fiber production in each recession did not appear to fall sharply, on the contrary can quickly recover from the crisis. At the same time, it is worth noting that, after each period of adjustment, the production and demand of glass fiber are beyond the last peak, and the growth of jump. Overall, glass fiber as a good composite functional materials, wide application, the glass fiber industry is still a good growth of the vitality of the sunrise industry.
Three, the focus of glass fiber transfer to China
Glass fiber production and construction of a large pool kiln initial investment, long payback period, a large number of small and medium enterprises were blocked at the door, the industry concentration of the rapid increase. On the one hand, with the stone group as the representative of the glass fiber enterprises continue to build new production lines, expanding capacity; on the other hand, the acquisition and merger of enterprises to accelerate market integration.
In recent years, large glass fiber enterprises continue to adjust the structure through the acquisition, mergers and acquisitions, in order to adapt to the new pattern of the international glass industry. By the end of 2007, when the world’s top two manufacturers of glass fiber and composite materials, the establishment of the OCV company, but also makes the whole industry competition pattern has undergone tremendous changes. At present, the global glass fiber manufacturers mainly for the stone group, OCV, Chongqing international, PPG, JM, Taishan glass fiber, etc.. Among them, the three largest domestic enterprises accounted for 70% of national output, accounting for about 35% of global production. The world’s top five enterprises accounted for 65% of the total output. Thus, the global glass fiber industry oligopoly competition is becoming increasingly fierce.
In this case, the regional pattern of glass fiber production significantly changed. For a long time, the center of glass fiber production centers in Europe and the United states. In recent years, with the global industrial transfer, China’s glass fiber production capacity continues to improve. In 2007, China’s glass fiber production for the first time exceeded the United States, has become the world’s largest producer of glass fiber.
Four, domestic glass ushered in favorable policies
The State Council approved in principle the “decision” of the State Council on accelerating the fostering and development of strategic emerging industries, to determine the direction, focus on the development of seven strategic emerging industries the main tasks and support policies, including energy saving and environmental protection, new generation information technology, biotechnology, high-end equipment manufacturing, new energy, new materials and new energy vehicles etc.. Among them, according to the current our country society of new material definition and classification of new materials, including new materials about metal (titanium, aluminum, magnesium and rare earth permanent magnet materials), new inorganic non-metallic materials (ceramic and glass), polymer and composite materials (including three kinds of glass fiber and carbon fiber polymer the resin composite material). Visible, glass fiber as a new material, will become the focus of our country to support the industry, the industry continues to steadily upward.
Five, the alternative is very strong, the application of continuous development
Glass fiber products with excellent performance, widely used, has become a building, transportation, electronics, electrical, chemical, metallurgy, sports, environmental protection, military defense and other areas of essential raw materials. In 70% ~ 75% for the preparation of reinforced thermosetting and thermoplastic plastics, which is widely used in all kinds of industrial equipment and building materials (such as the production of glass steel cooling tower, pressure pipes, water tank, storage tank, tank and anticorrosion etc.) are widely used in petroleum chemical industry, infrastructure construction and auto industry. The remaining 25% ~ 30% is widely used in the manufacture of printed circuit board, wind turbine blade and filter net, and is widely used in the field of electronic and electrical, environmental protection, new energy and so on.
Glass fiber as a superior performance, a wide range of alternative materials, applicable to the national economy, national defense, military and other fields. At present, the consumption of glass fiber in developed countries is very large, the United States, Japan and other countries per capita annual consumption reached 4.5 kilograms, while China is only 0.6 kg, domestic demand is very impressive. In the automotive field, for example, China’s automotive industry has not yet universal glass fiber (mainly concentrated in the truck production), and foreign goods vehicles and trucks have been used in a large number of. The application of glass fiber in automobile shell, instrument panel, base frame and so on will greatly promote the application of glass fiber in China.
Six, the global wind power construction to promote the strong development of glass fiber
Wind energy is the fastest growing energy technology in the world. The development and utilization of wind power in many countries is very much attention. At present, there have been a variety of glass fiber blades for wind power development has been developed and applied, such as the United States JM, StarStran direct roving etc.. In recent years, China, the United States wind power investment in the field of development is very rapid, new wind power installed capacity accounted for more than 50% of the global. U.S. Department of energy planning is to meet 20% of the electricity demand in 2030. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to add 300 million kilowatts of wind power installed capacity, including 54 million kilowatts of offshore wind power. The EU proposed in 2020 to achieve 20% the proportion of renewable energy, which in 2020 offshore wind power installed capacity reached 40 million kilowatts, the offshore wind power installed capacity must be increased at an annual rate of 28%, increased from 366MW in 2008 to 6900MW in 2020. Therefore, the world’s wind power capacity is expected to grow at a rate of 20%, in 2010 the new wind power installed capacity will reach 38000MW, wind power has become the fastest growing area of the application of glass fiber.
At present, most of the new fans are more than 1.5MW, blade size is 37 ~ 65 meters. Glass fiber is an important raw material, with an average of 3.5 tons of fiberglass yarn per piece of glass yarn, each 1 million kilowatts installed capacity needs 10 thousand tons of glass fiber, accounting for more than 25% of the total cost of the blade. In 2008, China’s wind power supporting blades, engine room cover and head cover, a series of glass fiber reinforced plastic composite products reached 50 thousand tons. In the next few years, China’s wind power market will continue to expand rapidly, is expected in 2011, 2010 will be the new wind power installed capacity of 1150, 15 million kilowatts, and will drive up the 11.2, 146 thousand tons of glass fiber dosage. At present, the Taishan fiberglass technology and Chongqing Polycomp International Corporation in the domestic wind power field has a higher market share. The rapid development of global wind power construction, will bring the most powerful driving force for the development of glass fiber.
