Dazhou: turning stone into gold to create a 100 billion-level basalt fiber industry

Dazhou observation

The third plenary session of the 12th session proposed that innovation-driven and leading industrial development should be promoted in depth, and six trillion-level industries including advanced materials should be cultivated and formed. As an important "one wing" of the "one body and three wings" development of the province's basalt fiber industry, relying on high-quality basalt mineral resources, through continuous development, research, and utilization, the application of basalt fiber has achieved "qualitative breakthroughs" and embarked on a high road A new path for value-based applications.

Dazhou TV reporter Sun Chan: The new material industry is one of the seven strategic emerging industries in China and the basis for the transformation and upgrading of the entire manufacturing industry. Now you can see that this seemingly ordinary stone in my hand is the raw material of the new material basalt fiber. The basalt fiber made of it can be used in military, green building materials, rail transit and other fields. How to realize turning stone into gold? What about the value of basalt fiber? Then let's take a look together today.

Located in the Basalt Fiber Industrial Park of Dazhou High-tech Zone, Sichuan Jumeisheng Basalt Fiber Technology Co., Ltd. is a technology enterprise integrating R&D, production, sales and investment of continuous basalt fiber and products. As a supplier of basalt fiber precursors, the company has overcome the problems of unstable raw materials and low degree of homogenization. Through the application of pool kiln wire drawing technology, it can produce basalt fibers with stable performance, lower cost and higher output.

Long Daosong, Manager of the Production Safety Department of Sichuan Jumeisheng Basalt Fiber Technology Co., Ltd.: This is one of our raw silk production sites. Our traditional raw silk production process mainly uses bushings with 2400 holes or less. Our current production The process, after years of hard work, has been upgraded to an 2400-hole large leak plate for production. (Reporter: Does the 800 to 2400 holes you mentioned refer to the increase in production capacity?) Yes, our current production capacity has increased by 60% compared with traditional processes, but our energy consumption has been reduced by about 30%. Our current production capacity accounted for one-third of the country.

Basalt fiber is a green and environmentally friendly new material, and its products have the characteristics of high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, insulation and heat insulation. In the past, due to factors such as technology and market, basalt fiber products have been hovering in the low-end field. Today, with the improvement of upstream raw silk production capacity and performance, the application of basalt fiber has been widely improved.

Dazhou TV reporter Sun Chan: If we say that the supply of high-quality materials and a complete industrial chain allow our company to see the development prospects of basalt fiber. Then, the supporting R&D team and institutions have also added confidence to them. In 2019, Dazhou High-tech Zone cooperated with universities to establish the Dazhou Basalt Fiber Industry Research Institute, which provided technical support for the development of the entire industry.

In terms of product research and development, Dazhou Basalt Fiber Industry Research Institute has successfully established the only key laboratory co-constructed by the department and city in the province; it has built the only basalt fiber quality inspection center in the province. In the industrial chain, an industrial ecology of "raw materials produced in Dazhou, technology researched and developed in Dazhou, and results transformed in Dazhou" has been initially formed.

Reporter from Dazhou TV: What breakthroughs have our research institute made in technology research and development and innovation?

Kang Sufang, senior engineer of Dazhou Basalt Fiber Industry Research Institute: Our basalt Research Institute focuses on tackling various technical problems in the field of basalt fiber subdivision, including from raw ore to basalt fiber production, and to the subsequent production and development of finished products Some technical problems in the entire industrial chain. At present, our research institute has obtained more than 30 patents, which should have greatly promoted the development of our mysterious fiber industry.

At present, the basalt fiber industry has become the "100 billion-level" pillar industry of Dazhou's "3+3+N" industrial cluster. The Dazhou High-tech Zone has built the largest basalt fiber R&D and production base in the country. The material industry park has set up a special fund of 100 million yuan for industrial development to accelerate the construction of a 10,000-ton pool kiln project. The park has five core technologies for composite materials such as textiles, pultrusion, molding, injection molding, and winding.

Ning Xiaoli, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Dazhou High-tech Zone and Executive Deputy Director of the Management Committee: Dazhou High-tech Zone will base itself on the advantages of high-quality basalt resources, focus on five major processes, deepen the integration of the industrial chain, and actively promote the clustering, agglomeration, and intensive development of the basalt fiber industry. Make every effort to build the "largest scale, lowest cost, best quality, most variety, and best environmental protection" production base of basalt fiber raw silk and finished products in the country, and build a national first-class and world-renowned "China Fiber Valley"
