Carbon Fibre Production Cost Breakup From Polyacrylonitrile and Rayon Mixture

Details: Germany - based plant Q2 2024  | From $ USD

This report entails a detailed cost evaluation of carbon fibre production from rayon and polyacrylonitrile. The manufacturing process of carbon fibre begins with the complex sequential process of combining the strands of polymer varieties, i.e., polyacrylonitrile and rayon. Initially, the polymers are combined, passing through a spinning and stabilization process that improves the bonding ability in the fiber strands. It is then passed through surface treatment, where the fibres are oxidized in the presence of oxygen and then coated and wounded into fiber bobbins carrying carbon fiber as the final product.

  • Formosa Plastics Corporation
  • DowAksa USA LLC
  • Anshan Sinocarb Carbon Fibers Co. Ltd
  • Hexcel Corporation

Feedstock for Carbon Fibre

Carbon fibre is made up of organic polymer varieties, specifically polyacrylonitrile and rayon as its major feedstock. The procurement of carbon fiber is largely dependent upon factors, including its production cost, market prices, supply chain stability, etc. Moreover, other factors such as the availability of its raw materials (acrylonitrile for polyacrylonitrile production along with rayon that serves as the feedstock for carbon fibre), as well as its demand for aircraft, spacecraft, automotive parts, and boats production altogether influences its overall procurement. Similarly, laws, regulations, governmental policies, and socioeconomic conditions have a major impact on procurement across borders.
