Company Introduction

In today’s booming new materials industry, a company set out from Wuqing, Tianjin. Over the past fifteen years, it has consistently focused on fine chemicals, driven by technological innovation and guided by green development, gradually becoming a leading domestic player in waterborne additives – Tianjin Hi-Perferal Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. (referred to as “Hi-Perferal”). Since its establishment in July 2010, Hi-Perferal has clearly defined its core positioning as “dedicated to R&D, production, and sales of fine chemicals,” committed to providing high-performance materials technology for human production and daily life. As a recognized national high-tech enterprise, the company has demonstrated strong capabilities and steady progress in all key indicators. As of December 2024, the company’s total assets reached RMB 224 million, with nearly 150 employees, forming an integrated operation system of “R&D + Production + Sales.” To further enhance production capacity and market influence, Hi-Perferal established a wholly owned subsidiary in Panjin, Liaoning – Liaoning Saifei Chemical Co., Ltd. Through coordinated development between the two locations, the company effectively fills the production gap in the northern market and provides solid support for expanding downstream business in petroleum, mining, and other sectors.

On the competitive track of fine chemicals, Hi-Perferal’s product portfolio precisely aligns with market demands, covering multiple high-value fields. Among them, the corrosion inhibitor series for petroleum installations acts as “guardians of industrial pipelines,” including oilfield well and pipeline corrosion inhibitors, water injection corrosion inhibitors, acidizing corrosion inhibitors, as well as neutralizing corrosion inhibitors and high-temperature corrosion inhibitors for refining systems. These products specifically address equipment corrosion issues in oil extraction and processing, providing strong support for safe production in the energy industry. Mining metal extraction aids focus on the new energy sector, with ketoxime extractants and lithium-ion extractants widely used in hydrometallurgical copper extraction and lithium extraction processes, offering key technical support for lithium battery raw material supply.

In the field of waterborne additives, Hi-Perferal has set an industry benchmark. The company’s developed acetylenic diol surfactants, dispersants, defoamers, etc., not only deliver high performance but also meet environmental requirements, and are widely used in architectural coatings, photovoltaic materials, new energy batteries, semiconductors, and more. With excellent product quality, its products have been exported to over 30 countries and regions, becoming a preferred partner for many international brands.

Notably, Hi-Perferal has embedded “green manufacturing” throughout its development process, actively practicing sustainability through technological innovation. The production base in Panjin, Liaoning, was built to Industry 4.0 standards, incorporating a fully automated intelligent management system. Here, 5G technology is deeply integrated with industrial production, improving production efficiency by more than 30%, maintaining product quality at a high level, and reducing energy consumption (water, electricity, gas) by 15% compared to traditional plants through precise resource control, thereby effectively reducing environmental impact.

The company has obtained ISO 9001 quality management system, ISO 14001 environmental management system, and ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management system certifications, laying a solid foundation for green development from a management perspective. In market expansion, Hi-Perferal has built a “comprehensive domestic coverage, broad international reach” marketing system. Domestically, the company has set up sales offices in core cities such as Tianjin, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, forming a sales network covering North China, East China, and South China, enabling rapid response to customer needs in downstream industries such as architectural coatings, automotive coatings, and photovoltaic chemicals. Internationally, through participation in industry events like the China International Coatings Show, the company continuously enhances brand awareness, with products exported to Europe, Southeast Asia, South America, and other regions.

Leveraging a deep understanding of customer needs, Hi-Perferal also provides customized application solutions. For example, in response to specific requirements from photovoltaic companies, the R&D team can quickly complete formulation adjustments and sample testing, supported by comprehensive after-sales service, earning long-term trust from key customers and maintaining a repurchase rate of over 85%.

The company’s steady growth is also supported by its deep-rooted corporate culture. Adhering to the corporate mission of “providing high-performance materials technology for the development of human production and daily life,” and taking “work to promote the development of human production and daily life” as its core value, Hi-Perferal encourages employees to actively explore advanced materials and drive industrial upgrading. In talent development, the company builds a dual-track “technical training + career advancement” system, regularly organizes technical exchanges with universities and research institutes, and has set up an innovation reward fund to recognize employees who propose technical improvement solutions. In a positive working atmosphere, an open and inclusive environment enables the R&D team to dare to experiment and innovate. In recent years, the company has filed numerous invention patents annually, with many technological achievements filling domestic gaps.

Conclusion

Over fifteen years of determined progress, Hi-Perferal has evolved from a startup in Tianjin into an innovation benchmark in the fine chemical industry. Looking ahead, as the new energy and semiconductor industries continue to prosper, the company will uphold the development philosophy of “innovation, green, and sustainability,” delve deeper into waterborne additives and solid electrolyte materials, further expand domestic and international markets, and steadily advance toward its vision of “becoming a world-class high-performance materials technology enterprise, a respected organization, and a high-tech company where employees feel a sense of pride,” contributing more “Chinese strength” to the global new materials industry.
