Key Highlights

Tianjin Hi-Perferal Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. (Hi-Perferal) has been deeply engaged in the fine chemical sector for14 years, with total assets of RMB224 million, and is recognized as a national high-tech enterprise.

Its wholly-owned subsidiary,—Liaoning Surfychem Co., Ltd., located in Panjin, Liaoning Province, is a5G + demonstration factory, driven by a dual-engine model of production capacity and R&D.

Hi-Perferal maintains four core technology platforms — petroleum corrosion inhibitors, water-based additives, surfactants, and solid-state electrolyte materials — serving high-end customers in over30 countries worldwide.

The company has passedISO triple-system certification and established long-term partnerships with leading enterprises across multiple industries, building a high-retention marketing network based on“green manufacturing + customized solutions”.

Over the next five years, Hi-Perferal plans to invest an additional RMB 100 million in capacity expansion, aiming to break into the global first tier of high-performance materials technology.

Company Profile

“Perfecting even a single drop of additive can change the world.”This is a phrase frequently spoken by the founder of Hi-Perferal. Founded in2010, Tianjin Hi-Perferal Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. is headquartered along an unremarkable road in Caozili Town, Wuqing District, Tianjin — yet it commands224 million RMB in assets and a150-member elite team, quietly building fine chemicals into a global business.

From a“small workshop”to a high-tech enterprise: authority forged by time

14 years ago, Hi-Perferal was merely a small plant renting township factory space, producing less than 100 tons annually. Today,it holds three“golden credentials”: National High-Tech Enterprise, Tianjin“Specialized, Refined, Distinctive, and Innovative”Little Giant, and Liaoning Province5G + Industrial Internet Demonstration Factory. As of the end of2024, the company has obtained27 authorized invention patents and52 utility model patents, and has participated in the formulation of5 industry standards. In the words of one customer,“Hi-Perferal’s technical documentation could easily serve as a textbook.”.

Dual-site layout: Tianjin as the brain + Panjin as the muscle

At its headquarters, Hi-Perferal has established a4,000㎡ R&D center and application evaluation platform focused on cutting-edge new materials research; in Panjin, Liaoning, its wholly-owned subsidiary Liaoning Surfychem Co., Ltd. scales laboratory innovations into a 10,000-ton industrial capacity. The Panjin base was built to Industry4.0 standards, with reactors,DCS, andAGV systems achieving full-process data interoperability, earning it recognition from the Liaoning Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology as one of the first5G + Industrial Internet Demonstration Factories. Last year, the base added three new water-based additive production lines, reducing unit energy consumption by18%, shortening delivery lead times by30%, and directly boosting Hi-Perferal’s market share in the northern region by12 percentage points.

Four technology platforms: corrosion inhibitors, surfactants, water-based additives, and solid-state electrolytes

Petroleum Corrosion Inhibitors — Armoring Steel with a “Soft Hedgehog Coat”
From the Tarim Basin to drilling platforms in the Bohai Sea, Hi-Perferal’s corrosion inhibitors reduce corrosion rates to one-fifth of the national standard under high-temperature conditions of 180°C and the scouring action of 15% hydrochloric acid. Three major domestic oilfield service companies have designated them as first-tier strategic supplies, and overseas orders now cover six oilfields across the Middle East and North America.

Surfactants — Making Water “Breathe”
The acetylenediol series of surfactants is Hi-Perferal’s “invisible champion” product. It can lower the surface tension of water to 22 mN/m, enabling water-mark-free cleaning of photovoltaic silicon wafers and uniform spreading of automotive electrodeposition coatings. In 2023, this product was exported to South Korea and Germany, achieving a 65% year-on-year growth, making it the company’s fastest-growing export product.

Water-Based Additives — Simultaneous Advances in Construction, Photovoltaics, and New Energy Batteries
Construction coating customers require products with “low odor and zero VOC,” photovoltaic customers demand “yellowing resistance,” and new energy battery customers require “high solid content.” Leveraging a single plant with customized formulations, Hi-Perferal provides tailored “one customer, one solution” offerings. Nippon Paint and a leading photovoltaic module manufacturer have rated Hi-Perferal as an A-level supplier for three consecutive years.

Solid-State Electrolyte Materials — Placing a Bet on the Next Decade
Hi-Perferal has positioned itself early in the solid-state battery sector, developing an optimized industrialization pathway for high-performance solid-state electrolyte technologies, with plans to expand production capacity to 2,000 tons by 2028. Industry insiders predict this segment could create a “new Hi-Perferal.”

Conclusion

As the “dual carbon” wave sweeps across the globe, the boundaries between advanced materials and fine chemicals are being continuously redefined. Over the past fourteen years, Hi-Perferal has demonstrated that achieving excellence in corrosion inhibitors can safeguard the “steel forest”; perfecting water-based additives can simultaneously benefit construction, photovoltaics, and new energy vehicles; and pursuing excellence in green manufacturing can deliver both profitability and environmental sustainability. From Wuqing, Tianjin to Panjin, Liaoning, and from Made-in-China to global standards, the Hi-Perferal story is just beginning. Over the next five years, the company plans to invest an additional RMB 1 billion to expand its smart factory, targeting sales revenue exceeding RMB 2 billion and aiming to secure a place in the global top tier of high-performance materials technology. For this “invisible champion,” every blue expanse on the world map holds the potential to become cleaner, more efficient, and more sustainable — thanks to a single drop of a Hi-Perferal additive.
