The Chinese glass fiber (fiberglass) giant Jochi Group has donated an advanced research device to the National Research Center in Egypt to boost international scientific and technological cooperation.
According to Xinhua, the device, which is a plasma spectrometer combined with research, is a powerful tool for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the mineral composition of glass fiber, and is an important tool for research and development in the glass fiber industry.
The handover ceremony was held for the Jushi-Egypt fiberglass production complex in northern Egypt’s Suez Canal province, where Zhang Huasheng, science and technology adviser at the Chinese Embassy in Egypt, attended the ceremony.
“The donation is an important step in deepening the construction of the Sino-Egyptian fiberglass and high-performance composites joint laboratory,” Zhang said, noting that “the joint laboratory provides an ideal platform for China and Egypt to expand technology cooperation in research and development, and is of great importance for guiding the research and development of fiber products and their applications. Egyptian glass and joints.
For his part, the acting head of the Egyptian National Research Center Hussein Darwish expressed gratitude to the Chinese side, indicating that their goal is to expand cooperation in research and development with more Chinese companies.
Established in January 2018 through a collaboration between Jushi Group and the National Research Center in Egypt, Xinhua News Agency reported that the joint laboratory has brought tangible benefits to the local fiberglass industry, including developing a glass fiber manufacturing process in Egypt that reduces costs, production and carbon emissions.
Fiberglass is a new inorganic non-metal material that is widely used in many fields including aviation, transportation and electronics.
