On March 11, China’s independently developed T1200-grade ultra-high strength carbon fiber will make its global debut.
This breakthrough fills a gap in the global field and marks a significant leap for China in the production of ultra-high strength carbon fibers.
The T1200-grade ultra-high strength carbon fiber being launched this time was independently developed by China National Building Material Group. Notably, it is not a laboratory sample, but an industrial product already capable of mass production at the hundred-ton scale. This also makes China the first country in the world to achieve hundred-ton-level mass production of this grade of carbon fiber.
In simple terms, the diameter of T1200-grade carbon fiber is less than one-tenth that of a strand of hair, but its tensile strength is ten times that of ordinary steel, while its density is only one-quarter that of steel—a remarkable combination of lightness and strength. Thanks to these superior properties, it can be widely applied in strategic emerging industries such as aerospace, low-altitude economy, and humanoid robots.
