Harbin
Fiber Reinforced Plastics Institute is a subsidiary of the State Administration
of Building Materials Industry. It was established in June 1960. The Institute
is the earliest specialized research nstitute engaging in research and application
of polymer matrix composites in China .Its undertaking is to work on key
high technology programs sanctioned by the State government and to research
vital equipment and engineering related to the composites industry. In China,is
enjoys a commanding lead in processes such as filament winding ,pultrusion,hot
- melting prepreg and research in advanced composites and high performance
thermoplastics composites. Since its establishment,the Institute has been
awarded 47 State and Ministerial level awards,including First Prize for
National Industrial New Products in 1964.
The
Institutue has many qualified senior technicians and various specialities:raw
materials ,processing,structural design,testing,standardization,mass production
technology,design and manufacture of process equipment,and automation process
control and engineering .In all the Institute has 9 departments including
two which are dedicated to automation and process equipment.The Institute
is the only entity in the manufacture of composite process equipment.In
addition,the Institute is well equipped for processing,testing and analysis.It
has a large filament winder, a PT - 240 pultrusion machine,an AD - 12 hot
- melting prepregnator as well as other advanced equipment for testing and
analysis,all imported from Europe,america and Jaan.
The
Institute supplies advanced FRP products to the domestic and foreign market,enjoying
a high reputation.The sPTM - 14 and EPKM - 17 are two types of FRPperigee
solid rocket motor cases manufactured or the Long March ll rocker which
have entered into the international satellite - launching market.Other products
produced by the institute including FRP pressure vessel for reverse osmosis
membrane and ultra pure water storage tanks, end cones ,inner and outer
cylinders and beam tubes for particle colliders ,pultruded products,x -
ray couch,textile machinery parts,and carbon fiber parts and the hot - melting
prepreg materials, to mention a few,have entered into the every field of
nmational economy.It is presently trial - producing GMT sheet equipment.
The
State Engineering Research Center of Polymer Matrix composites is sanctioned
along with the Institute,by the National Science and Technology Commission,to
transfer scientific research achivevments into production and ,in so doing,promote
the utilization of composite materials and FRP products throughout china.
