The world's largest fiberglass usage industrial park, new energy wind power, photovoltaic, automobile and other sectors are in full swing?
At the beginning of the new year, in the Zhenshi New Materials Industrial Park, which has the largest fiberglass usage in the world, Zhenshi's "wind chasers" fought on the front line. New energy wind power, photovoltaic, automobile and other sectors were in full swing. At present, there are more than 100 trucks delivering materials every day, and the park has also allocated a 9,000-square-meter parking shed for quick loading and unloading. "Customers have chased to the factory to wait for delivery!" Pan Chunhong, deputy general manager of Zhejiang Zhenshi New Materials Co., Ltd., could not hide his excitement. He said that the wind power substrate market is very prosperous this year. Orders in January and February, which should have been the off-season, were hot. It is expected that the production capacity of wind blade fabrics will achieve double-digit growth this year.
The new energy wind power field is currently the largest sector in the park in terms of fiberglass usage. It is reported that one out of every three wind turbine blades in the world comes from Zhenshi. Last year, Zhenshi's global production and sales of wind power substrates and market share continued to rank first in the world. Zhenshi products are used in the world's longest 131-meter onshore wind turbine blades and the world's first V-shaped floating wind turbine.
One fiberglass goes in, and out comes a piece of white and soft fabric. The reporter walked into the park's fabric workshop and saw that there were no densely packed workers in the space of thousands of square meters, but rows of multi-axial braiding machines instead. Pick up a piece of woven fiberglass cloth, which is only about 1 mm thick. It looks thin and light, but it has a great effect. More than 90% of it is used on wind turbine blades over 110 meters long. "The overall weight of a 110-meter-long wind turbine blade is about 35 tons, and the amount of glass fiber used alone is close to 20 tons, and the proportion of fiberglass used reaches 60%." The R&D director on the scene explained.
The energy of fiberglass is still expanding. The black composite frame that the reporter saw looks ordinary, but it is amazing when you look closely. "The production capacity has increased fivefold this year, and the market development speed is even more amazing. So far, we have visited nearly 100 customers." Liu Zhaojun, deputy director of the market development department of Zhenshi Co., Ltd., introduced that this self-developed composite frame not only obtained the world's first composite frame certification certificate, but also passed the safe trial operation of the offshore demonstration platform of the National Photovoltaic Quality Inspection Center, as well as the test evaluation and trial verification of more than 10 leading component factories, power station companies and power generation groups.
The success of chasing "light" depends on being one step ahead. As an auxiliary material for photovoltaic components, composite frames were usually made of high-energy-consuming aluminum alloys in the past. As photovoltaic components move towards application scenarios such as deserts and oceans, the disadvantages of metal materials have begun to emerge - easy to corrode, easy to age, and easy to deform, new materials have become alternatives. After three years of research and development, Zhejiang Zhenshi New Materials Co., Ltd. finally launched a black composite frame, which is more than 5 times stronger than the aluminum alloy photovoltaic frame, but the carbon emissions are only 15% of aluminum alloy materials, which can meet the application needs of various photovoltaic scenarios such as sea, desert, roof and lake.
A fiberglass, pull out infinite possibilities. In another production workshop in the park, fiberglass fabrics are used to manufacture battery box covers, bottom guards, and side guards for new energy vehicles. In particular, the bottom guards have a domestic market share of more than 50%. "Compared with traditional steel bottom guards, the impact resistance of the composite bottom guards we developed has increased by more than 3 times, which has opened the door to many leading new energy car companies." Liu Jinhua, director of the R&D center of Zhenshi Co., Ltd., told reporters that the company has established cooperative relationships with more than 50% of the leading companies through continuous efforts in power battery protection materials, and its products supply nearly one million new energy vehicles. This year, the production capacity of new energy power battery protection materials is expected to increase by more than 10%.
The park is accelerating, and the government has also sent timely rain. It is understood that the initial construction of the single building of more than 200,000 square meters in the Zhenshi Co., Ltd. New Materials Industrial Park took only 75 days from earth excavation to the completion of the main project. At present, the first phase of the industrial park has been put into operation, and Yongxing Road on the west side is also under intense construction. As the project is about to be completed and put into production, it is expected to achieve a production value of tens of billions and millions of tons of glass fiber applications. "The industrial park will start the second phase of the project in the future. It is very important for us to open this road to traffic as soon as possible." Not long ago, Wang Tao, deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee and director of the Management Committee of Tongxiang Economic Development Zone, came to the industrial park to learn about the progress of the project. After listening to the expectations of the company's leaders, Wang Tao stated on the spot, "Yongxing Road must be completed before the first phase is fully completed. This is already in our plan and is expected to be opened to traffic in March."
