About WDBSD CF®
WDBSD CF represents a new chapter in carbon fiber technology.

 

Developed from regional hardwood, this innovative fiber combines ecological consciousness with advanced technology, delivering exceptional results while prioritizing environmental responsibility.
Why Choose WDBSD CF®?
Sustainability at its Core

 

Made from local hardwood, WDBSD CF reduces the environmental footprint of carbon fiber. Traditional production of the raw material is energy-intensive, but with WDBSD TX as a wood-based precursor, we save energy and minimize environmental impact through a closed, resource-saving process.
Energy Efficiency

 

WDBSD CF uses an energy-efficient process that stabilizes the fibers at lower temperatures and in a shorter time than is the case when producing carbon fibers from fossil raw materials. This reduces both energy consumption and production costs, supporting your sustainability goals.
Strong Performance

 

Lightweight, strong and sustainable, WDBSD CF offers high tensile strength, thermal stability, and electrical conductivity – ideal for demanding technical applications.

Manufacturing Process
The production process of WDBSD CF reflects a shift toward greater sustainability and efficiency, offering an alternative to the conventional, resource-intensive production of PAN-based carbon fibers.
PAN-Based Carbon Fibers:
A Resource-Intensive Process
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is the primary precursor for carbon fiber production. While PAN-based carbon fibers exhibit very good mechanical properties and are widely used, their production is highly energy-intensive and reliant on fossil fuels. Key steps in the PAN process require high temperatures and consume significant energy, leading to a larger carbon footprint. The process also generates toxic degradation products that require complex exhaust gas treatment to mitigate environmental damage.

Energy-Intensive Production

The production of PAN fibers includes stabilization at 200-300 °C, carbonization at 1,000-2,000 °C and, depending on the end application, graphitization at temperatures above 2,500 °C – these processes require large amounts of energy over extended periods of time.

Environmental Impact

The reliance on acrylonitrile, a petrochemical derivative, contributes to the environmental impact, not only through energy consumption in manufacturing, but also through the release of harmful gases, requiring extensive exhaust gas treatments.

Complex Waste Management

The PAN-based process often results in waste by-products that need complex disposal or recycling processes.

WDBSD CF®:
A Shift to Wood-Based Carbon Fibers
WDBSD CF is made from the renewable raw material hardwood and represents a further development of carbon fiber production. The transition to cellulose-based fibers represents an evolution in both sustainability and efficiency, providing an environmentally friendly alternative without significantly compromising on performance. Here’s how our process differs from the traditional PAN method.

Energy-Efficient Production

The WDBSD CF process is optimized to reduce energy consumption at key stages. By using lower temperatures and more efficient processes, we significantly reduce the energy required for stabilization. The use of direct spinning techniques for cellulose fibers further reduces operational costs and environmental impact.

Renewable and Local Resources

Our raw material, cellulose from regional hardwood, is both abundant and renewable. This reduces reliance on non-renewable, fossil-based sources, creating a more sustainable supply chain

Fewer Harmful By-Products

Cellulose-based carbon fibers do not emit the same level of harmful gases during production, removing the need for complex exhaust treatments. This ensures a cleaner, more environmentally friendly production cycle.
