PAN-based carbon fiber cloth is a woven reinforcement material made from polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based carbon fiber filaments using textile processes such as plain, twill, or satin weaving. It features high strength, high modulus, low density, excellent fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature stability. It is primarily used as a reinforcement in composite materials (e.g., carbon fiber reinforced polymers, CFRP) and is widely applied in aerospace, automotive lightweighting, wind energy, sports equipment, and structural reinforcement. Due to its balanced performance and cost advantages, PAN-based carbon fiber cloth is one of the most widely used carbon fiber textile forms.
The upstream of the PAN-based carbon fiber cloth industry includes acrylonitrile suppliers such as Sinopec and Asahi Kasei, as well as PAN precursor and carbon fiber manufacturers such as Toray Industries and Hexcel. The midstream consists of carbon fiber fabric manufacturers that handle weaving, surface treatment, and prepreg production. Downstream applications include aerospace companies such as Airbus and Boeing, automotive manufacturers such as BMW and Tesla, as well as wind energy and sports equipment industries, forming a complete value chain from petrochemicals to end-use applications.
