Key Highlights

Tianjin Hi-Perferal Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. (Hi-Perferal) has been deeply engaged in fine chemicals for 14 years, with total assets of CNY 224 million and recognition as a high-tech enterprise.

Its wholly-owned subsidiary, Liaoning Saifei Chemical Co., Ltd. in Panjin, Liaoning Province, operates a 5G+ demonstration factory, driving development through both capacity and R&D capabilities.

Hi-Perferal boasts four technology matrices — petroleum corrosion inhibitors, waterborne additives, surfactants, and solid electrolyte materials — serving premium customers in more than 30 countries worldwide.

The company has obtained ISO triple certification and established long-term partnerships with leading enterprises across multiple industries. By adopting a strategy of “green manufacturing + customized solutions,” it has built a highly adhesive marketing network.

Over the next five years, Hi-Perferal plans to invest hundreds of millions of RMB in capacity expansion, aiming to become a top-tier global supplier of high-performance materials.

Company Introduction

“Perfecting a single drop of additive can change the world.” This is a phrase often repeated by the founder of Hi-Perferal. Founded in 2010, Tianjin Hi-Perferal Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. has its headquarters tucked away along an unremarkable road in Caozili Town, Wuqing, Tianjin. Yet, with CNY 224 million in assets and a lean team of 150 professionals, it has quietly turned fine chemicals into a global business.

From a “small workshop” to a high-tech enterprise: Authority built over time

Fourteen years ago, Hi-Perferal was merely a small factory renting township facilities, producing less than 100 tons per year. Today, it has earned three prestigious badges: a National High-Tech Enterprise, a Tianjin “Specialized and New”Little Giant, and a Liaoning Provincial 5G+ Industrial Internet Demonstration Factory. As of the end of 2024, the company had obtained 27 authorized invention patents, 52 utility model patents, and participated in the development of five industry standards. As one customer put it, “Hi-Perferal’s technical documents could well be used as textbooks.”

Dual-base layout: Tianjin as the brain, Panjin as the muscle

At the headquarters, Hi-Perferal has built a 4,000 m² R&D center and application evaluation platform, focusing on cutting-edge research in new materials. In Panjin, Liaoning, its wholly-owned subsidiary Liaoning Saifei Chemical Co., Ltd. converts laboratory results into industrial-scale production at the tens-of-thousands-of-tons level. The Panjin base was constructed to Industry 4.0 standards, with reactors, DCS systems, and AGVs achieving full-process data interconnectivity. It was recognized by the Liaoning Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology as one of the first batch of 5G+ Industrial Internet Demonstration Factories. Last year, three new waterborne additive production lines were added at the base, reducing unit energy consumption by 18% and shortening delivery cycles by 30%. This directly helped Hi-Perferal increase its market share in northern China by 12 percentage points.

Four technology matrices: Corrosion inhibitors, surfactants, waterborne additives, solid electrolytes

Petroleum corrosion inhibitors — Armoring steel like a “soft hedgehog”
From the Tarim Basin to offshore drilling platforms in the Bohai Sea, Hi-Perferal’s corrosion inhibitors maintain corrosion rates at one-fifth of the national standard, even under high temperatures of 180°C and erosion by 15% hydrochloric acid. The top three domestic oilfield service companies have listed them as first-level strategic materials, and overseas orders now cover six oil fields in the Middle East and North America.

Surfactants — Making water “breathe”
The acetylenic diol series of surfactants is Hi-Perferal’s “hidden champion.” These products can reduce the static surface tension of water to 22 mN/m, allowing photovoltaic silicon wafers to be cleaned without watermarks and enabling uniform spreading of automotive electrodeposition coatings. In 2023, exports to South Korea and Germany grew 65% year-over-year, making this the fastest-growing product category overseas.

Waterborne additives — “Three arrows” aimed at construction, photovoltaics, and new energy batteries
Construction coating customers require “low odor, zero VOC”; photovoltaic customers demand “yellowing resistance”; new energy battery customers need “high solids content.” With a single factory but tailor-made formulations, Hi-Perferal delivers “one customer, one solution” custom offerings. Nippon Paint and a leading photovoltaic module manufacturer have rated Hi-Perferal as an A-grade supplier for three consecutive years.

Solid electrolyte materials — Betting on the next decade
Hi-Perferal has proactively positioned itself in the solid-state battery sector, working on an optimized industrialization route for high-performance solid electrolyte technology. The company plans to expand capacity to 2,000 tons by 2028. Industry insiders predict that this business line could create a veritable “New Hi-Perferal.”

Conclusion

As the dual-carbon wave sweeps the globe, the boundaries between new materials and fine chemicals are being constantly redefined. Over 14 years, Hi-Perferal has proven that perfecting corrosion inhibitors can safeguard the steel forest; excelling in waterborne additives can simultaneously benefit construction, photovoltaics, and new energy vehicles; and mastering green manufacturing can achieve a win-win for profit and environmental protection. From Wuqing, Tianjin to Panjin, Liaoning, from “Made in China” to global standards, the Hi-Perferal story is just unfolding. In the next five years, the company plans to invest an additional CNY 1 billion to build intelligent plants, targeting sales revenue exceeding CNY 2 billion and ranking among the leading tier of global high-performance material technologies. For this “hidden champion,” every azure ocean on the world map has the potential to become clearer, more efficient, and more sustainable with a drop of Hi-Perferal additive.
