In recent years, the Tianjin Branch of the Baotou Rare Earth Research Institute (opens in a new tab) has strategically shifted its business model, increasingly bringing its frontier rare earth technologies to national audiences. At two major exhibitions held in April this year, the branch made a striking appearance with its scientific achievements—garnering not only interest in future collaborations but also shining a spotlight on the power of innovation in rare earths.
At the 3rd China (Anhui) Technology Innovation Achievement Transformation Expo, the Tianjin Branch (opens in a new tab) was invited to exhibit in the “New Materials” section of the Industrial Innovation Zone. It became a major attraction thanks to its lineup of breakthrough technologies, including:
- Puncture-resistant antibacterial surgical gloves,
- Phase-change thermal insulation fibers with rare earth functionality,
- Anhydrous rare earth halides for scintillator crystals,
- And the “Xi Rao” series of multifunctional rare earth ceramic teaware.
These exhibits drew attention from over 1,500 top enterprises and research institutions from across China. Through this event, the Tianjin Branch not only gained insight into key directions in the rare earth new materials sector but also received a wave of partnership offers from interested manufacturers.
At the 2025 Low-Carbon Architectural Coatings Industry Development Conference in Hangzhou, the Tianjin Branch delivered a keynote presentation titled “Rare Earth Photothermal Materials Empowering Energy-Efficient Building Applications.” The talk captured the attention of experts and scholars from the China Association of Building Energy Efficiency. Products like rare earth-based nano thermal-insulation materials and reflective cooling coatings, along with customized solutions, piqued strong interest from companies in the coatings sector. Additionally, the institute’s “Xi Rao” cultural and creative products emerged as popular items at the exhibition, sparking high levels of on-site inquiries and resulting in multiple transactions.
Li Lu, Executive Vice President of the Tianjin Branch, stated that today’s market competition is increasingly a competition of technological edge. “The idea that ‘a good product will sell itself’ is outdated,” she noted. “Even the best technologies need to be recognized and selected by users.” National exhibitions serve as a critical platform to showcase the Tianjin Branch’s innovative capabilities. Looking ahead, the branch will make full use of diverse promotional channels to maximize visibility, further highlighting the breakthroughs in rare earth innovation being driven by Baogang’s scientific and technological force.
