A significant part of large-tow carbon fibre production is devoted to chopped-fibre applications. engineering, satellites, and rollers, among others. Investments in pitch-based carbon fibre production are limited, compared to those devoted to PAN-based carbon fibre (Table 3). Table 3: Worldwide production capacities Pitch-based carbon fibre.

Nippon Graphite Fiber Cooperation (NGF) Mitsuibishi Plastics, Inc. Cytec Total Pitch Pitch Pitch Pitch Conclusion The year 2009 will go down as a difficult one for all composite industry players, especially for manufacturers of glass and carbon reinforcement fibres. Investing in Pitch-based carbon fibre Pitch-based carbon fibre is used in specific applications such as civil production is costly and takes a long time to produce results. However, composites are more than ever the best solution to save weight and CO2 emissions. No51 September 2009 / jec composites magazine 19
