The POD insulation paper industry has huge development potential due to continued favorable conditions in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.
POD is aromatic polyoxadiazole. It is an aromatic heterocyclic polymer material with excellent electrical insulation, high temperature resistance, flame retardancy, chemical corrosion resistance, fiber-forming properties, film-forming properties, etc. It is often made into a resistant material. High-temperature fiber materials are used in the fields of honeycomb structural materials, electrical insulation materials, and carbon precursors.
POD insulation paper, also known as POD fiber paper, refers to a thin sheet material formed by depositing POD fiber on a paper machine through water or other media. It inherits the advantages of POD fiber and has good flexibility, good insulation, It has the advantages of high tear resistance, good puncture resistance and strong impregnation ability, and can be widely used in the field of electrical insulation.
From the upstream of the industrial chain, POD fiber is the key raw material for the production of POD insulation paper. At present, my country has Jiangsu Baode New Materials, Jiangsu Zhanbao New Materials and other companies specializing in this field, and domestic POD fiber production is constantly increasing. The rapid development of the POD fiber industry in the upstream has laid a good foundation for the development of the domestic POD insulation paper industry.
From the downstream of the industrial chain, POD insulation paper can be widely used in cable, coil and other electrical equipment manufacturing scenarios due to its good performance. The terminal application fields include rail transportation, aerospace, national defense and military industries, etc. Compared with polyarylsulfone and polyaramid fiber insulating papers with the same heat resistance level, POD insulating paper has stronger comprehensive performance and higher application advantages. In the future, driven by the rapid development of downstream application fields, the domestic POD insulating paper market demand will continue increase, the industry has huge potential for development.
According to the“2023-2028 POD Insulating Paper Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that my country’s POD insulation paper industry started in the 1990s. Affected by factors such as capital and technology, the industry has developed slowly. It was not until 2012 that, with the continuous acceleration of relevant research and the continuous improvement of the downstream market, the local enterprise Jiangsu Baode New Materials realized the industrial production of POD fiber. Since then, my country’s POD insulation paper industry has been able to develop again and ushered in a period of rapid development opportunities. .
Due to limitations in technology and raw materials, Jiangsu Baode New Materials is the only company in my country with the capacity to mass-produce POD insulating paper and its composite materials. Currently, the company’s annual production capacity of POD high-performance fiber products has reached 2,500 tons, which has paved the way for the development of the POD insulating paper industry. Favorable conditions were created. In the future, as leading local companies continue to increase their research and development efforts and improve their supply capabilities of high-performance products, the development speed of my country’s POD insulation paper industry will continue to accelerate, and the overall development trend will be positive.
Industry analysts said that POD insulation paper is a type of high-quality insulation paper made from POD fiber as raw material. Performance materials widely used as insulation materials for cables, coils and other electrical equipment. Compared with similar materials, POD insulation paper has higher comprehensive advantages and broad room for industry development. At present, only one company in my country, Jiangsu Baode New Materials, has the production capacity of POD insulation paper. In the future, relevant companies will continue to increase product research and development efforts, and the industry has huge room for growth.
