In recent years, the Nantong National High-tech Industrial Development Zone has become home to a cluster of high-tech manufacturing companies, including Nantong Junfeng New Materials Technology Co Ltd.

The company specializes in the research, production, sales, and technical services of electronic specialty materials.

One of Junfeng's flagship products is a high-barrier butyl sealant, which is essential in the photovoltaic (PV) industry for its ability to block low water vapor permeability. The company's butyl sealant is designed for sealed glass, with a lifespan of up to 75 years without water penetration.

According to Chairman Tao Jun, industry standards typically require sealed glass using butyl sealant to prevent water penetration for 25 years. However, Junfeng applies an internal testing standard that is three times stricter than the industry benchmark.

In addition to butyl sealant, Junfeng New Materials also focuses on the development of photovoltaic pastes, thick-film electronic pastes, and metal powders.

Committed to full-chain independent research and development, from raw materials to pastes, Junfeng invests at least 10 percent of its annual revenue into R&D. The company has already initiated several independent projects and expects its paste products to generate 50 million yuan ($7.06 million) in sales by 2024 after passing customer testing.
