36Kr Financing | Xirui Materials Secures Tens of Millions in Series A Financing, Introducing Antimicrobial Materials with 99% Antibacterial Rate for 8 Years.
36Kr has learned that Xirui Materials Technology (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xirui Materials") has successfully completed a Series A financing of several million yuan.
It is reported that this round of financing is led by Hainan Zhonghao Enterprise Management. This round of financing will be used to expand the construction of the rare earth antibacterial and purification material production line, deepen the application research and development of "rare earth antibacterial purification + consumer goods", and accelerate the industrial landing and commercialization process of the products.
In the market background, in recent years, the market demand for antibacterial and purification products has been increasing day by day. The breakthrough of the stability problem and the lack of new functional, safe and durable antibacterial and purification materials on a global scale have become the problems that the entire industry is concerned about.
In fact, traditional antibacterial and purification methods mostly rely on heavy metals and chemical agents such as nano-silver and photocatalyst, which have short timeliness, high cost and are unsafe, seriously restricting the industrial development. After continuous in-depth research and development, Xirui Materials has successfully launched rare earth antibacterial and purification materials, and the key indicators such as antibacterial rate, purification rate and durability have reached the international leading level.
In this regard, according to Dr. Zhou Xiao, the general manager of Xirui Materials, "Rare earth antibacterial and purification materials can still maintain stable performance under extreme environmental conditions such as high temperature, ultraviolet radiation, strong acid and alkali. In an endurance experiment simulating antibacterial water pipes, the antibacterial rate of the rare earth antibacterial PPR water pipe remained above 99% after boiling in water at 95°C for one month; after 8 years of use of the rare earth antibacterial tableware, its antibacterial rate is still as high as 99% or more, and its performance far exceeds that of traditional products."
Up to now, Xirui Materials has completed the application research and development of rare earth antibacterial and purification materials in the fields of daily consumer goods, pipeline building materials, ceramics, daily chemical industry, etc., and launched high-performance "rare earth + consumer goods" such as rare earth antibacterial thermos cups, rare earth antibacterial ceramic tiles, rare earth antibacterial PPR pipes, rare earth efficient formaldehyde-removing small brown cans, antibacterial and purification treasures, rare earth antibacterial tableware, rare earth aldehyde-removing antibacterial and mold-proof latex paint, etc., effectively meeting the market demand for high-quality, healthy and environmentally friendly products. As a pioneer in the field of rare earth antibacterial purification, the enterprise has always adhered to "green development" in the research and development, continuously optimized the production process, and achieved low energy consumption and zero emissions.
Dr. Zhou Xiao also said that with the vigorous development of China's new material industry in recent years, Xirui Materials closely follows the policy orientation, deeply implements the innovation-driven development strategy, focuses on the research and development and application of rare earth functional materials, and proposes the "three-wheel simultaneous advancement" strategy of the application research and development, product production and market promotion of rare earth functional materials. With the coordinated development of multiple businesses, the enterprise's revenue has been steadily increasing.
For Xirui Materials, innovation and research and development have always been regarded as the top priority. The enterprise has established a mechanism for continuous growth of R & D investment, set the minimum standards for R & D investment of each department and included them in the assessment. Since its establishment, it has accumulated more than 10 million yuan in R & D funds.
The large-scale R & D investment has also brought rich returns to the enterprise. Xirui Materials has broken through more than 10 key technologies such as "the application innovation of rare earth antibacterial and purification materials in the field of building materials", "the application of rare earth antibacterial materials in the field of textiles", and "the research and development and application of rare earth antibacterial food packaging materials", added more than 40 valid patents, and participated in the formulation of more than 10 various standards. Relevant achievements have obtained honors such as SIAA International Antibacterial Certification, "The First Batch of New Materials" recognition, and "Key New Materials Application Demonstration". The continuous achievement of new results in key technology breakthroughs, product innovation, and achievement transformation has made its leading position in the field of rare earth functional material research and development and market application increasingly stable.
As a leading enterprise in the research and development and application of rare earth functional materials, Xirui Materials also actively plays a leading role by building a cooperative alliance, and has now shown a good trend of diversified and sustainable development.
"We have jointly developed building materials with higher antibacterial and purification performance with industry leading enterprises in the field of healthy building materials such as pipelines, coatings, plates, and electrical appliances, to promote the development of the rare earth antibacterial and purification industry with better solutions." Zhou Xiao said.
Through the wide application of rare earth antibacterial and purification materials in the fields of great health, medical devices, indoor air treatment, etc., Xirui Materials has realized the innovative expansion of the production mode, marketing method and application scenarios. Up to now, the products it has developed have been successfully landed in many provinces and cities, and the scale of its online and offline flagship stores is growing.
Industrial transformation is not only about the present, but also about the long term. Industry analysts believe that the antibacterial and purification material industry may usher in the "era of rapid development", and it is expected that its market scale will increase significantly by 2025. The active exploration of Xirui Materials not only brings more efficient and healthy products and solutions to the industry, but also provides a new idea for creating a "green and healthy" living environment in the future, and may make greater contributions to helping the rapid development of China's antibacterial and purification material industry.
