On September 26, 2022, China’s leading carbon fiber composite material manufacturer: WHGW Composite Materials Technology Corporation and China Shipbuilding Corporation held a signing ceremony for the strategic cooperation agreement on the “development and application of carbon fiber composite materials for marine equipment”.
This strategic cooperation agreement is a combination of the R&D, design and construction of marine products of China Shipbuilding Corporation and the respective advantages of WHGW in the field of carbon fiber composite materials.
The two parties will jointly promote the wide application of carbon fiber and its composite materials in the field of ships, explore the application space of composite materials such as light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and low temperature resistance in the field of marine products, expand the selection range of marine products, and improve the performance of ships. , and drive the innovation and development of composite materials and the shipbuilding industry.
WHGW is China’s leading high-tech enterprise engaged in R&D, production and sales of carbon fiber and its composite materials. The company has the entire carbon fiber industry chain, the main products include various types of carbon fiber, carbon fiber woven fabric, carbon fiber prepreg, glass fiber prepreg, carbon fiber composite products and carbon fiber core production equipment (with carbon fiber, carbon fiber composite material production equipment design and manufacture and production line construction capacity), etc.
It is understood that the use of fiber composite materials on ship sails can greatly reduce weight and increase service life, and can be resistant to fire, corrosion and chemicals. In addition, the use of this fiber composite material can also combine components with different shapes, and prefabricate a limited number of composite components with complex shapes, without the need to process many individual components and then perform a large number of assemblies.
Through the signing of this strategic agreement, the two parties will establish regular technical exchanges and seminars, formulate annual cooperation task plans, and jointly carry out research on the design, development, manufacture and application of composite materials for civil ships and marine engineering.
