Key Highlights

Tianjin Hi-Perferal Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. (Hi-Perferal) has been deeply engaged in the fine chemical field for 14 years, with total assets of 2.24 billion RMB, and is recognized as a high-tech enterprise.

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

Hi-Perferal boasts four technology matrices: petroleum corrosion inhibitors, waterborne additives, surfactants, and solid electrolyte materials, serving high-end customers in over 30 countries worldwide.

The company has obtained ISO triple system certification, established long-term partnerships with leading enterprises across multiple industries, and built a highly sticky marketing network with a “green manufacturing + customized solutions“ model.

In the next five years, Hi-Perferal plans to invest another hundreds of millions of RMB to expand production, with the goal of reaching the top tier of global high-performance material technology.

Company Introduction

“Making a single additive the best it can be can also change the world.“ This is a phrase often said by the founder of Hi-Perferal. Founded in 2010, Tianjin Hi-Perferal Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. is headquartered on an unassuming street in Caozili Town, Wuqing, Tianjin, yet it possesses 2.24 billion RMB in assets and a sharp team of 150 people, quietly turning fine chemicals into a global business.

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

14 years ago, Hi-Perferal was merely a small factory renting township premises with an annual output of less than a hundred tons. Today, it has earned three “golden badges“: National High-Tech Enterprise, Tianjin “Specialized and New“ Small Giant, and Liaoning Provincial 5G+ Industrial Internet Demonstration Factory. As of the end of 2024, the company has obtained 27 authorized invention patents and 52 utility model patents, and has participated in the formulation of 5 industry standards. As one customer put it, “Hi-Perferal’s technical documents can be used as textbooks.“

Dual-base layout: Tianjin Brain + Panjin Muscles

At the headquarters, Hi-Perferal has built a 4,000 m² R&D center and application evaluation platform, focusing on frontier new material research. In Panjin, Liaoning, its wholly owned subsidiary Liaoning Saifei Chemical Co., Ltd. transforms laboratory results into 10,000-ton industrial scale. The Panjin base is built to Industry 4.0 standards, with reactors, DCS, and AGVs achieving full-process data interoperability, and has been rated by the Liaoning Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology as one of the first batch of 5G+ Industrial Internet demonstration factories. Last year, the base added three new waterborne additive production lines, reducing unit energy consumption by 18% and shortening delivery cycles by 30%, directly boosting Hi-Perferal’s market share in northern China by 12 percentage points.

Four Technology Matrices: Corrosion Inhibitors, Surfactants, Waterborne Additives, Solid Electrolytes

Petroleum Corrosion Inhibitors—Clothing steel with a “soft armadillo shell“
From the Tarim Basin to offshore drilling platforms in the Bohai Sea, Hi-Perferal’s corrosion inhibitors reduce corrosion rates to one-fifth of national standards under 180℃ high temperature and 15% hydrochloric acid flushing. The top three oilfield service companies in China list it as a tier-1 strategic material, and overseas orders have covered six oil fields in the Middle East and North America.

Surfactants—Making water “breathe“
The acetylenediol series surfactants are Hi-Perferal’s “invisible champion“ product. They can reduce the surface tension of water to 22 mN/m, leaving no water marks after cleaning photovoltaic silicon wafers and allowing automotive electrophoresis paint to spread evenly.In 2023, this product was exported to South Korea and Germany, achieving a year-over-year growth of 65%, making it the fastest-growing overseas single item.

Waterborne Additives—Construction, photovoltaics, and new energy batteries: “three arrows shot simultaneously“
Architectural coating customers require “low odor, zero VOC“; photovoltaic customers require “yellowing resistance“; new energy battery customers require “high solids“. Hi-Perferal provides customized “one customer, one solution“ offerings from the same factory with different formulations. Nippon Paint and a leading photovoltaic module company have rated Hi-Perferal as a Grade A supplier for three consecutive years.

Solid Electrolyte Materials—Betting on the next decade
Hi-Perferal has taken early steps into the solid-state battery track, focusing on optimizing the industrialization route for high-performance solid electrolyte technology, with plans to expand capacity to 2,000 tons by 2028. Industry insiders predict that this business line could potentially create a “new Hi-Perferal“.

Conclusion

As the “dual carbon“ wave sweeps globally, the boundaries between new materials and fine chemicals are constantly being redefined. Hi-Perferal has proven over fourteen years: making corrosion inhibitors the best can protect the steel forest; making waterborne additives the best can benefit construction, photovoltaics, and new energy vehicles simultaneously; making green manufacturing the best can achieve both profit and environmental protection. From Wuqing, Tianjin, to Panjin, Liaoning; from made in China to global standards, Hi-Perferal’s story is just beginning. In the next five years, the company plans to invest another 1 billion RMB to build an intelligent factory, with a target to surpass 2 billion RMB in sales and enter the top tier of global high-performance material technology. For this “invisible champion“, every blue ocean on the world map may become clearer, more efficient, and more sustainable because of a drop of Hi-Perferal additive.
