What factors affect the price of cut carbon fiber?

The price of short-cut carbon fiber is affected by a variety of factors, as follows:

Raw material cost

Raw fiber quality and price: The main raw material for the production of short-cut carbon fiber is carbon fiber filament, and its quality and price have a great impact on the cost of cut carbon fiber. Such as high-strength, high-modulus carbon fiber filament, due to complex production process, high technical requirements, expensive, will make the cost of short-cut carbon fiber rise.

Stability of raw material supply: The stability of raw material supply will also affect the price of short-cut carbon fiber. If the supply is insufficient or unstable, it will cause the price of raw materials to rise, which will affect the price of short carbon fiber. For example, due to environmental protection and production restriction policies in some areas, the supply of raw materials such as polyacrylonitrile is limited, and the price of short-cut carbon fiber has risen.

Production technology and equipment

Advanced production process: Advanced production process can improve production efficiency and reduce costs, thus affecting the price. For example, the efficient oxidation and carbonization process can reduce the production cycle and energy consumption, reduce production costs, and make the price of short-cut carbon fiber more competitive.

Production equipment cost and efficiency: The input and operating efficiency of production equipment have an important impact on price. Although the imported advanced production equipment can improve product quality and production efficiency, the equipment procurement cost is high and will be shared in the product price. Moreover, the maintenance cost of the equipment will also affect the overall cost, and if the maintenance cost of the equipment is high, it will also lead to the price of short-cut carbon fiber.

Market supply and demand relationship

Market demand growth: aerospace, automotive, new energy and other industries have strong demand for short-cut carbon fiber and when the growth rate of demand exceeds the growth rate of supply, it will lead to higher prices. Such as the rapid development of the new energy automobile industry, the demand for lightweight, high-strength short-cut carbon fiber has increased, pushing up its price.

Market competition: If the number of short carbon fiber production enterprises is large and the market competition is fierce, enterprises will reduce the price in order to compete for market share; On the contrary, if the market competition is small, the enterprise has more pricing power, and the price may be maintained at a higher level.

Product performance and quality

Mechanical properties index: high strength, high modulus of short-cut carbon fiber, because of the production difficulty, high technical requirements, the price is high. For example, high-performance short-cut carbon fiber applied in the aerospace field, its tensile strength, modulus and other indicators are much higher than ordinary grade products, and the price is relatively expensive.

Length and diameter specifications: Different lengths and diameter specifications of short carbon fiber prices vary. Generally speaking, short-cut carbon fiber with long length and fine diameter is relatively high in price because of the difficulty in production and processing.
