Because of the continuous fiber Xuan Wuyan CBF has a series of excellent physical and chemical properties and wide application prospect, reinforced material can completely replace the glass fiber, carbon fiber, asbestos and other manufacturing fields and uses, and its raw materials from natural ore - Xuan Wuyan, no precipitate harmful substances in the production process, no emission of harmful the gas into the atmosphere, do not pollute the environment, the new green environmental protection material which is known as the "silk stone" in twenty-first Century. At present, due to the international market of glass fiber and carbon fiber reinforced the serious shortage of materials, coupled with the unique CBF fiber with excellent performance and low cost price and other advantages, brought great opportunities for the development and application of hitherto unknown fiber, also caused the developed countries in the world focus on research and technology of CBF development and innovation. China has extremely rich, good quality basalt ore reserves, spread all over the country. China''''s economic development, science and technology change rapidly innovation provides broader application for CBF, now has been listed as one of the long-term development in the next 15 years to encourage the development of planning in the four high tech fiber CBF. But compared with foreign advanced technology, development status and technical achievements of high-tech fiber products in China is not optimistic, in the sense of China''''s development of CBF fiber and its application to go15, but also experienced the development process of innovation practice and a hard pioneer.

  On April 2005 5-7 Porte de Versailles in France, Paris Convention and Exhibition Center held a JEC composite exhibition and the European SAMPE (Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering materials and Processing Association) International Conference, meeting on the international comprehensive display of new composite materials, new technology, new products, new equipment and new technology. The exhibition Chinese outside there are three CBF manufacturers and a wholesaler CBF exhibition. Supply generally tight in many high-tech fiber products, especially the serious shortage of carbon fiber case, with unique excellent performance and good price of CBF fiber shows is particularly noticeable, so that it is one of the hot spot of this session of the exhibition JEC. The four are Russia Minnesota Glass fiber technology company (Sudaglass Fiber Technology), SUDAGLASS of Russia in the United States and Ukraine new two manufacturers, including Kamenny Vek2002 built smaller. There is a Belgian, mainly to sell products, do not produce their own. In addition, Chinese cross point group Shanghai Russia Basalt Fiber Co. Ltd. for the first time in the JEC composites show (see photo exhibition), CBF products and materials exhibition has attracted wide attention and interest of the participants. With foreign counterparts competition, exchange, learning and negotiation of international cooperation, further strengthened our focus on the development of enterprises to accelerate the development of the fiber CBF fiber products of the confidence and determination to make our country in the introduction, digestion and absorption of foreign advanced technology on the basis of innovation practice, striding development to squeeze in the world, CBF fiber production and application of power, open up a new road to industrialization of sustainable development.

  From the point of view of the government''''s attention: at present, our country has a strong influence on the development of CBF fiber. Since CBF in June 2001 was listed as the Sino Russian inter governmental scientific and technological cooperation projects; August 2002 officially listed as the National 863 Program; May 2002 in Shenzhen science and technology plan; included in the May 2004 National Science and technology innovation fund for small and medium-sized enterprises; and the recent "11th Five-Year" will be included in the national science and technology plan and the national development and Reform Commission long-term development planning. This is a series of projects to establish and implement fully embodies the national and local levels of science and technology management institutions to a large extent CBF attaches great importance to and vigorously support, policy support, National Science and technology ranging from relevant ministries leaders personally to the CBF project development and achievements made instructions, to support the CBF emerging high-tech materials industry development.

  On the basis of the development of the industry: in recent decades, China''''s glass fiber, carbon fiber and composite materials, has made rapid development, which has laid a solid foundation for CBF research and development production and application, according to foreign famous magazine "high performance composite materials" in 2005 1 issue of "market trends" senior consultant Ben Rasmussen Mr. prediction and evaluation: we are facing a serious shortage of fiber, CBF will drive strong growth in global composites industry...... Now, the world''''s largest manufacturer of composite materials and potential end users is Chinese, because Chinese enterprise has 25% global glass fiber market and is the development of CBF, will give 5 years after the market brought a new impact.

  From the view of resource reserve advantage: for CBF fiber and its composites are expected to play instead of glass fiber, carbon fiber and other materials "advantage of backwardness" and the king in the world, especially it is drawn from the natural ore processing, no pollution, is a typical resource-saving new materials, it is beneficial to the comprehensive utilization of resources and environmental protection, have to achieve the strategic objectives of sustainable development. But the domestic ore reserves are abundant, the source is abundant, the Cenozoic volcanic rocks are mostly the basalt, especially the alkali basalt has the superiority in the world. According to the basalt ore chemical group of researchers has mastered the analysis of data shows that in many provinces in China are suitable for the production of CBF mines, such as Sichuan, Yunnan, Heilongjiang, Zhejiang, Hubei, Hainan Island, Taiwan island province, some province ores have been in industrial test equipment to produce CBF fiber products.

 
  From the production cost: China with low cost of manufacturing CBF is richly endowed by nature, due to the pure natural basalt ore raw materials of low price, about 80-100 yuan per ton, and CBF with basalt ore into the furnace, melting, drawing and simple production process by single, without artificial ingredients, simple and convenient process. The production process of glass fiber to general than. It is possible to reduce the cost of production (CBF) substantially from the basalt, which can greatly reduce the cost of production, which is basically equivalent to the production cost of glass fiber. The low cost of CBF production for the realization of mass production and application create favorable conditions in China, the high performance CBF composite materials may become popular in China, and then break the bottleneck of the price of the composite application fields.

  From the view of the potential of the domestic market: China''''s economy, science and technology rapid development in developing countries, a national new material research and development of high technical level, has a broad market application space of CBF, its potential to replace glass fiber, carbon fiber and other materials, can be widely used in aerospace, aviation, military aircraft, missiles and rockets submarines, warships and other national defense construction, can also be used to enhance the field of new composite materials used in automotive, petrochemical and construction of civil engineering, can fill the gaps in the field of new materials in China, CBF is expected to become a "catch up from behind" production and application of big powers.

  Although the application prospects of the domestic development of CBF products and its composite material is very attractive, this new material economic life should be at least 30-50 years, and the current CBF in the world is just unfolding in a period of development, is a rare opportunity to China, can do. However, we are also facing serious challenges and competition.

  First of all, because the pure natural basalt melt poor thermal conductivity, devitrification temperature greatly easy crystallization, the fiber control range is narrow, so the natural basalt ore and components must be strictly screened, because the particularity of basalt ore determines the characteristics of CBF production technology and technical equipment, its fiber technology is difficult process control, strict conditions, equipment adaptability high is foreign experts in the circle has been recognized, has become a global industry researchers overcome technical difficulties CBF threshold. It is a pity that China has not paid enough attention to the research, technology and equipment innovation of basalt fiber as the raw material of basalt fiber production.

  Secondly, although foreign countries such as Russia, Ukraine and other major CBF and product development and application has made remarkable achievements, but the world''''s total production of CBF technology is still in the initial stage of development. We need to introduce, digest and absorb foreign advanced technology on the basis of increasing the pace of development and the span of basic research to applied research, the importance of intellectual property rights, technology innovation ability and play their own advantages, the implementation of their own patent strategy. Especially in the production of higher number of key technology research on porous bushing (now CBF industrial production of wire drawing bushing at present only 200 holes, and the glass fiber used in the production of wire drawing bushing has reached 2000 or more holes) and strive to have a substantive innovation breakthrough, formation of independent intellectual property rights, realize the leap type development.

  In addition, in view of the fact that there is no continuous basalt fiber and its composite materials of national and international standards, China should make timely and effective implementation of the CBF technology standard strategy, to seize the high ground, and strive to develop technical standards for walking in the forefront of the world. The CBF standard of industrial production, the formation of orderly and sustainable development of fair competition and industrialization of CBF health CBF products and composite materials, maintaining our quality of CBF products in the international market with good reputation and competitive advantage.

  In addition, the current Chinese energy prices for natural gas, the cost of electricity price in China is much higher than that of Russia, Ukraine, Europe and the United States is even higher than the world price level, in order to reduce the cost of production of continuous basalt fiber must transform the existing production process in the ore melting furnace, gas air system, gas burning nozzle structure key equipment and devices, using innovative technology, new energy saving materials and energy supply system.

  Only in this way can we solve the problem of energy shortage and investment efficiency.

  In a word, the continuous basalt fiber is widely used in the production of raw materials, which can promote the rational exploitation and comprehensive utilization of mineral resources in china. It is a high-tech material with a low input and high output, less emission, recycling and sustainable development of the resource conservation and environment friendly, it represents the mainstream of international green new materials development direction and the global high technology, will become a bright world dazzling "star of materials". Therefore, we should seize the opportunity to develop and implement the strategic decision of industrial production as soon as possible, technical barriers and bottlenecks in the development of CBF industry breakthrough, China could be the country of manufacture and application of CBF and its composite material, so as to realize CBF "from the Soviet Union, in the development of China, extended to the development prospect of the world" target.
