electronica Shanghai 2026 Successfully Concludes at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Three days may not seem like a long time, but they were enough to reveal emerging trends and validate our perspectives on the industry.

Looking back on the exhibition, the Zhongke Micro KEY booth welcomed a steady stream of new and returning visitors throughout the three-day event. Some came specifically to explore KEY Herun PFAS-Free Superhydrophobic Nano Coating; others were eager to learn more about the applications of electronic fluorinated liquids in immersion cooling. There were also customers who brought their challenges in precision cleaning processes and engaged in in-depth discussions with our technical team.

As we said goodbye to the final customer, we knew one thing for certain — this journey was truly worthwhile.

A Key Topic: PFAS Replacement — From Industry Trend to Real-World Demand

One of the most significant changes we observed at the exhibition was that PFAS-free alternatives, which were still a topic of exploration and evaluation last year, have now evolved into a clear and tangible market demand.

As the European Union’s PFAS restriction proposal enters a critical stage, many export-oriented companies have already placed PFAS elimination among their R&D priorities. A visitor from Europe spent nearly 40 minutes at our booth, carefully reviewing the water contact angle data, salt spray test duration, and adhesion performance of our PFAS-Free Superhydrophobic Nano Coating on various substrates.

Before leaving, he shared a comment that left a strong impression on us: "We have to prepare in advance for potential future restrictions, and your solution is currently the closest match to our requirements."

We heard similar feedback repeatedly throughout the three-day exhibition. KEY Herun PFAS-Free Superhydrophobic Nano Coating became one of the highlights of our booth not because of its name, but because it addresses a critical turning point in the industry’s transition toward regulatory compliance.

Based on a biomimetic micro/nano-structured design, the coating features a 100% fluorine-free formulation with zero PFAS, while delivering uncompromised performance in water repellency, moisture protection, corrosion resistance, and anti-condensation properties. This is exactly the solution that customers are looking for.

Two Unexpected Gains: Real-World Application Demands and Inspiration from Cross-Industry Opportunities

Beyond the positive feedback from customers, this exhibition brought us two unexpected yet valuable takeaways.

The first was the concentrated emergence of real-world application demands, giving us a direct understanding of the protection challenges faced across different scenarios. Feedback from industries such as automotive electronics, smart home devices, and industrial control systems was more direct and specific than any market report.

The second was the new inspiration brought by cross-industry applications. Some customers proposed exploring the use of PFAS-Free Superhydrophobic Nano Coating in areas that we had previously considered less extensively, opening up new possibilities and broader application opportunities.

Three Product Lines Working Together to Build a Complete Protection Ecosystem for Electronic Manufacturing

Looking back at the exhibition, the reason we were able to address such a wide range of customer needs lies in the synergistic development of our three core product lines:

Electronic Fluorinated Liquids:?A true competitive advantage in semiconductor manufacturing and data center liquid cooling applications, delivering outstanding thermal management performance for next-generation technologies.

Precision Cleaning Agents:?Designed to overcome challenges in high-end electronic cleaning processes. With fast-drying cleaning performance and zero visible residue under 400× magnification, our solutions help effectively improve wafer cutting yield.

KEY Herun PFAS-Free Superhydrophobic Nano Coating:?Providing end-use components with environmentally friendly, high-performance protection.

From cleaning and thermal management to surface protection, these three product lines form a complete service chain for advanced electronic manufacturing.

Looking Ahead: The Exhibition Has Ended, but a New Journey Has Just Begun

Every exhibition is a valuable test — a test of whether our products can keep pace with industry trends, whether our team can clearly communicate the value of our technologies, and whether we truly understand the challenges and concerns of our customers.

Over these three days, the answers have gradually become clear.

We sincerely thank everyone who visited the Zhongke Micro KEY booth. Your questions, insights, and feedback mean more to us than any award. While the exhibition has come to an end, the real journey of collaboration has only just begun.

electronica Shanghai 2026 — see you next time. We look forward to moving forward together on the road ahead.
