Nanofibers
Surforce (Qingdao) Technology Group Co., Ltd. has announced that its independently developed low-carbon technology for functional nanofiber nonwoven materials has successfully passed official evaluation, with the overall system reaching internationally advanced standards.
This development solves the long-standing global challenge of scaling electrospinning for industrial use. It also offers a fluorine-free and environmentally friendly alternative to PTFE, supported by cost advantages made possible through large-scale production.
The company’s main product, Surforce Nanofiber Membrane, offers a large surface area, strong mechanical performance, and advanced structural and chemical properties. It can be produced using different raw materials and is widely used in industries such as new energy, high-end filtration, consumer electronics, and textiles.
This product is used in applications like separator materials for semi-solid-state batteries, filtration systems for high-temperature environments, and waterproof and breathable layers in electronic devices. In textiles, it improves upon traditional PTFE and TPU membranes by offering better breathability and flexibility, allowing protective clothing to evolve into more comfortable, everyday functional apparel. The company has already partnered with several well-known domestic and international brands.
Looking ahead, the company plans to continue strengthening its innovation across the value chain and expand the large-scale use of high-performance nanofiber materials. A senior executive stated that the company remains committed to technology-driven growth and aims to bring advanced Chinese nanomaterials to the global market while offering cost-effective and environmentally responsible solutions.
