HZ info:The 28th China International Adhesive and Sealant Exhibition (ASE CHINA) successfully concluded at the Shanghai New International Expo Center on September 19. As a premier annual event in the adhesives industry, this year's exhibition attracted significant attention and set new trends for the sector.

Shanghai Fuming Sealing Material Co., Ltd. (referred to as ¡°Fuming¡±) made a notable appearance at the exhibition with its booth located at W3536. During the event, Mr. Liao Jinlin, Chairman of Fuming, sat down for an exclusive interview with HZ Info, discussing the company's development journey, the impact of industry policies, its competitive advantages, R&D initiatives, and future strategies.

Established in 1999, Fuming is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the R&D, production, and sales of adhesive products, and has become one of China's leading adhesive manufacturers. When the company was founded, China's polyurethane potting compound industry was still in its early stages, dominated by imported products. However, the potential demand for domestically produced alternatives was already emerging. According to Mr. Liao, Fuming seized this opportunity through both foresight and proactive strategy. With sharp market insight, the company began its dedicated journey in the field of polyurethane potting compounds.

In recent years, despite increasingly stringent environmental regulations, Fuming's two-component polyurethane potting compounds¡ªbeing solvent-free and generating no waste gas, wastewater, or solid residues during production¡ªhave faced relatively lower compliance pressure. Furthermore, the company continues to refine its production processes to help customers reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions during application, aligning with environmental requirements and promoting sustainable development.

In a highly competitive market, Fuming maintains distinct advantages:

Product Excellence: Fuming's two-component polyurethane potting compounds are backed by 100% independent intellectual property rights. They offer a wide range of hardness, excellent adhesion, insulation, thermal conductivity, and weather resistance.

Eco-Friendliness: As solvent-free products with low energy consumption and zero waste emissions during production, they align with green development trends.

Cost Efficiency: As one of China's largest producers of such compounds, Fuming leverages stable domestic and international supply chains and economies of scale to maintain cost competitiveness.

Integrated Service: The company provides comprehensive bonding solutions, including potting compounds, production line design, and dispensing equipment, offering full-spectrum customer support.

R&D serves as the core driver of Fuming's growth. The company has made substantial investments in R&D infrastructure: its Shanghai headquarters features a testing center equipped with over 40 specialized instruments, covering mechanical, optical, thermal, and constant temperature/humidity testing labs. This ensures that products are rigorously validated. Fuming's R&D team includes more than 20 application experts with doctoral backgrounds, along with three doctoral-led groups focusing on innovation in polyurethane, epoxy resin, and new materials. In recent years, Fuming has increasingly directed R&D toward bio-based, low-carbon, and eco-friendly solutions, committed to reducing energy use and carbon emissions in both products and processes.

Looking ahead to the next 3¨C5 years, Mr. Liao outlined Fuming's strategic priorities: the company will continue to focus on product innovation and application expansion for two-component polyurethane potting compounds, aiming to become a ¡°hidden champion¡± in this niche segment. While deepening its presence in the domestic market, Fuming will also actively develop overseas clients and diversify its sales channels. Brand building will remain a key effort to enhance visibility and influence.

Application Fields and Scenarios of Fuming Potting Compounds

Today, Fuming's adhesives are deeply integrated into a wide range of advanced manufacturing and daily life applications¡ªfrom automotive and consumer electronics to new energy equipment and smart homes. Providing systematic bonding solutions for over 20 industries, Shanghai Fuming continues to empower industrial innovation and upgrading. Moving forward, the company will uphold its commitment to reliability and steady innovation, contributing robustly to the advancement of the global adhesives industry.
