DETAILS
and
will, in October this year, found
a joint venture company
manufacturing and distributing
carbon fiber composite laminates
for wind turbine blades
(hereinafter, “composite laminates”).
MRC will supply high-performance
large tow carbon fiber produced
at its Otake Production Center
to the joint venture based in Denmark.
The joint venture will leverage
the molding and processing technologies of
Fiberline, a composite pultrusion manufacturer,
to enable light-weight, price competitive
composite laminates supply
to the wind turbine blade market
In recent years, the size of wind turbine blades
have become longer as the widespread installation
of off-shore wind power systems and
the increasing importance
of low wind site development
demand more efficient power generation.
Such large-sized wind turbine blades
require carbon fibers
replacing conventional glass fibers
due to their rigidity and light-weight properties.
In particular, composite laminates
made in pultrusion processes are superior
in composite performance and process speed
compared to other carbon fiber composite materials,
this being reflected in the full scale adoption
of these by the world’s leading turbine manufacturer.
Consequently pultruded laminates
have become the industry standard.
MRC will seek to expand its share
in the carbon fibers wind turbine market
through this joint venture.
