On October 19, the construction of Yiliang Haohong New Materials’ production line capable of manufacturing 3,000 tons of nanocoatings per year and coating 10 million square meters of fabric with nanocoatings began. This project is the investment agreement signed in August this year between Yilang Industrial Park in Yunnan and Suzhou Haona New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. According to previous reports, the total investment in this project is 150 million yuan. Once it is operational, it is expected to generate an annual output value of 500 million yuan and create around 200 jobs. Suzhou Haona is a nanomaterial technology company whose core products include nanocoating materials for superhydrophobicity and protection against corrosion. Founder Zhu Hongjun holds a dual-degree qualification; he studied under Academician Sun Licheng and pursued further studies in Sweden. With 11 years of experience working for companies on the Fortune Global 500 list, his team has filed over 50 patents, of which 20 have been granted as invention patents. Leveraging proprietary equipment and technologies, the company achieves zero waste in production; the cost of its products is only one-tenth that of similar foreign products, thereby filling a technical gap in the domestic market. Suzhou Haona’s main products include self-cleaning nanocoatings for household and building glass facades, anti-fogging and rainproof agents for vehicles, waterproof coatings for circuit boards, as well as other military and civilian rainproof, super-hydrophobic nanocomposites. The super-hydrophobic, dual-hydrophobic, and super-hydrophilic nanomaterials produced by the company find wide-ranging applications in various fields, including indoor air purification, self-cleaning of household kitchens and bathrooms, self-cleaning of outdoor buildings, self-cleaning for glass insulation, as well as vehicle cleaning and maintenance. The total investment in this project is 50 million yuan. It involves the construction of 3 new coating production lines, 1 nano-fabric coating production line, as well as related supporting facilities. A research and exhibition center will also be built simultaneously, with operations scheduled to begin in June 2026. The project focuses on areas such as photovoltaic new energy, high-end automobiles, and medical devices, exploring an integrated approach of \"research and development + production + application\" to achieve the substitution of imported key materials and to create a world-class platform for nanocoating solutions. The core product manufactured under this project is a nanometric waterproof and anti-corrosion material; thanks to nanotechnology, it forms a dense protective layer that provides excellent waterproofing and corrosion resistance. It can operate stably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 270°C, with extremely low VOC emissions. This product meets the needs of photovoltaic systems and building self-cleaning functions; it can also be used to protect precision facilities such as radars and 5G stations, thereby extending the lifespan of equipment and reducing maintenance costs. Once the project is in operation, it is expected to pay taxes of 21 million yuan per year on average, while creating over 40 job opportunities. It is reported that the company plans to establish a \"industry-university-research-application\" framework in the future, tackle cutting-edge technologies such as medical lubricants, improve its product portfolio, enhance the technical level of the regional new materials industry, and become a benchmark for strategic new materials industries in Yunnan. The project aligns with the **\"dual carbon\" strategy** to drive the green transformation of downstream industries. As a key project focusing on the integration of light industry, textiles, and new materials, its completion will enhance the regional industrial chain for high-end functional materials, providing essential material support for the high-quality development of industries such as new energy, communications, and construction.
