Project Overview: KEY-HeRun216 Fluorine-Free Superhydrophobic Nano-Coating

The "HeRun" series of nano-coatings represents an innovative eco-friendly coating solution for high-end manufacturing, chips, semiconductors, new energy, wearable electronics, 3C electronics, PCB, PCBA, and FPC manufacturing. The project achieves its core breakthrough through PFAS-free formulations. Utilizing silica aerogel technology modified with polyether siloxane surfaces, it integrates multiple functionalities including superhydrophobicity, oleophobicity, self-cleaning, high-temperature resistance, and insulation. This solution delivers outstanding environmental performance and long-lasting protective capabilities.

Core Strengths:

Completely Fluorine-Free: Completely eliminates traditional PFAS materials, aligning with global environmental regulations;

High-Performance: Water contact angle >150°, rolling angle <10°, delivering superhydrophobicity and self-cleaning capabilities;

Wide Applicability: Suitable for diverse substrates including metal, glass, plastic, and textiles;

Green Sustainability: Assists downstream industries in addressing environmental compliance pressures, driving green industry upgrades.

Water contact angle > 150°Innovation-Driven, Green-Powered

Against the backdrop of increasingly stringent global regulations banning PFAS, traditional fluorinated coatings face pressure to be phased out, while market demand for high-performance eco-friendly coatings grows ever more urgent. The "Hurun" project not only fills a domestic technological gap in fluorine-free superhydrophobic coatings but also provides reliable green material options for high-value-added industries such as chip manufacturing, semiconductors, new energy, wearable electronics, 3C electronics, PCB, PCBA, and FPC production.

This award represents high recognition of Zhongke Micro New Materials' innovative strength in new material R&D and industrial application, while also reflecting the market and industry's urgent expectation for "environmentally friendly + high-performance" coating solutions.

Looking ahead

We will leverage this award as an opportunity to continuously deepen our technological R&D efforts and accelerate the testing and certification of our products across various high-end applications, including electronics, chip packaging, photovoltaic modules, new energy vehicles, semiconductors, wearable electronics, 3C electronics, PCB, PCBA, and FPC manufacturing. This will drive the early large-scale adoption of the "Herun" series coatings, delivering more reliable and environmentally friendly system solutions to our customers.

We extend our gratitude to the competition organizing committee for their recognition, and thank every partner who has supported and shown interest in the development of Zhongkewei New Materials. We will continue to uphold the philosophy of "Innovation, Green, Efficiency," deepening our commitment to the new materials sector and contributing technological strength to China's intelligent manufacturing and global sustainable development!
