Headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, CompoTech is a leading Iberian Peninsula manufacturer of carbon fiber composite materials with 22 years of expertise in epoxy structural components for wind turbine blades, rail transit and high-end anti-corrosion casting resins. Its end products supply wind turbine OEM Gamesa and rail transit manufacturer Alstom in Spain. All raw materials comply with EU REACH, GL wind turbine material certification and low-VOC environmental control standards. The company has long sourced original Evonik EPODIL748 grade C12-C14 alkyl glycidyl ether with annual procurement volume of 152 tons split into three segments: 90 tons for wind power composite grade, 42 tons for rail transit casting adhesive and 20 tons for high-end anti-corrosion coatings. CompoTech is a formulation-fixed, strictly indicator-controlled mid-to-high-end purchaser prioritizing quality over low prices, distinct from bulk buyers with no impurity control requirements and low-end trading clients.
Faced with maintenance shutdowns at European chemical facilities, import lead times extended to 105 days and consecutive raw material price hikes, CompoTech launched a domestic AGE substitution research program. Having no prior experience sourcing Chinese raw materials, the client was entirely unfamiliar with mainstream domestic AGE brands, grades and performance differences. It independently contacted five leading domestic AGE manufacturers: Anhui Xinyuan, Jiangsu Yangnong, Nantong Xingchen, Shandong Jinling and Guangdong Dixin for sample inquiries.
Sales teams from each factory only highlighted their own product advantages without denigrating competitors, yet avoided objectively explaining the strengths, applicable scenarios and defects of rival brands. Xinyuan promoted XY748; Yangnong promoted YN-AGE-E; Xingchen promoted ST-1214; Jinling promoted JL-EH; Dixin promoted DX-AGE. Every manufacturer claimed their grade was suitable for wind power and epoxy casting, with near-identical nominal physical & chemical parameters across all five product brochures. The client could not distinguish differences in grade adaptability, trace impurity levels and carbon chain ratios, resulting in excessive blind sampling costs. Incorrect raw material selection would trigger composite material cracking and mass scrappage of finished products, halting the material selection process. CompoTech entrusted HiSiaddi to conduct neutral brand evaluation and grade screening, leveraging HiSiaddi’s industry resources to horizontally dissect five domestic brands and finalize two mid-to-high-end manufacturers with three specialized grades.
1. Color APHA ≤10, free ECH ≤5ppm, hydrolyzable chlorine ≤0.007eq/100g
2. Three epoxy value ranges to match three separate formulation production lines: 0.33~0.335, 0.34~0.345, 0.35~0.355
3. When added to base epoxy resin at 11%~13% dosage, curing shrinkage rate <0.38%, no cracking after -35℃ low-temperature cycling
HiSiaddi purchased standard samples from all five manufacturers for full-scope testing at a CNAS-accredited third-party laboratory, then objectively sorted out pros and cons of the five brands combining factory processes, production line positioning and downstream application performance, breaking the information barrier created by manufacturers’ self-promotional marketing.

Based on CompoTech’s differentiated indicator demands for wind power composites, rail transit casting adhesives and high-end anti-corrosion coatings, Nantong Xingchen, Shandong Jinling and Guangdong Dixin (only suitable for low-end civil systems) were eliminated. Two domestic mid-to-high-end leading manufacturers – Anhui Xinyuan and Jiangsu Yangnong – were selected with three specialized grades precisely matching the three production lines to avoid formulation compatibility defects from a single universal raw material grade across all product categories:
1. Wind turbine blade production line: Anhui Xinyuan XY748 standard grade (epoxy value 0.342eq/100g). Balanced C12/C14 ratio, low heavy fractions and low color deliver optimal balance of viscosity reduction and toughening performance, ideal for wind blade infusion epoxy resin with stable curing shrinkage below 0.35%, fully matching the client’s annual 90-ton wind power raw material demand.
2. Rail transit casting adhesive production line: Jiangsu Yangnong YN-AGE-E high-purity electronic grade (epoxy value 0.332eq/100g). Ultra-low hydrolyzable chlorine and trace residues prevent premature epoxy gelation during ambient storage, suitable for sealed casting of vehicle components and meeting strict impurity control standards for the client’s 42-ton annual rail transit raw material demand.
3. High-end anti-corrosion coating production line: Jiangsu Yangnong YN-AGE-C composite modified grade (epoxy value 0.351eq/100g). High epoxy equivalent improves crosslink density of anti-corrosion films and resists acid-alkali precipitation, matching the client’s annual 20-ton demand for high-end heavy-duty anti-corrosion coating formulations.
HiSiaddi coordinated both manufacturers to supply 500g standard samples each, accompanied by bilingual Chinese-English COA, full-scope SGS test reports and REACH registration documents, shipped to laboratories in Barcelona, Spain in batches for parallel compatibility testing across three formulation categories.
After 45 days of laboratory formulation testing and small-batch pilot production, all three grades delivered performance matching original Evonik EPODIL748. All three finished product categories passed 50 cycles of -35℃~130℃ thermal cycling without cracking or precipitated voids, with all indicators passing third-party incoming quality inspection in Spain. CompoTech formally reduced its annual procurement volume from Evonik and signed an annual 152-ton quarterly batch supply long-term agreement with HiSiaddi:
· Q1: Xinyuan XY748: 23 tons, Yangnong YN-AGE-E: 11 tons, Yangnong YN-AGE-C: 5 tons
· Subsequent quarterly batch scheduling throughout the year with 12 total shipments, all packed in 200kg baked enamel iron drums printed with Spanish-English bilingual CLP-compliant labels, CAS codes and REACH registration numbers, shipped directly from Shanghai Port to Barcelona Port.
The client’s comprehensive procurement cost dropped by 25.6%, delivery lead time shortened from 105 days to 38 days, mitigating risks of European raw material price hikes and supply shortages.
1.
Inherent industry pain point: Manufacturer self-interested marketing creates information asymmetry hindering overseas mid-to-high-end client material selection Driven by sales targets, domestic AGE manufacturers only highlight their own product advantages during promotion and do not voluntarily disclose competing brands’ applicable strengths and defects objectively. Low-end clients tolerate wide indicator deviations and can compensate via independent formulation adjustments, yet mid-to-high-end European composite manufacturers rely on formulations validated through years of reliability certification – minor raw material indicator deviations trigger mass scrappage, making independent selection highly prone to costly mistakes.
2.
3.
Core demands of mid-to-high-end clients: Neutral third-party horizontal evaluation + precise grade matching segmented by application scenarios Distinct from low-end buyers purchasing large volumes of a single universal grade, overseas mid-to-high-end enterprises operate multiple production lines with parallel diverse formulations, requiring grade selection split by end-product categories rather than a single raw material grade for all applications. Clients need neutral service providers unbound to individual manufacturers to horizontally evaluate all major brands.

5.
Core value of HiSiaddi’s foreign trade model: Neutral technical material selection eliminating brand information barriers Unattached to any single manufacturing factory, HiSiaddi leverages fine chemical expertise and full-brand testing resources to objectively evaluate pros and cons of domestic leading brands horizontally, selecting grades hierarchically based on client formulation requirements and filling gaps in overseas clients’ awareness of Chinese raw material brands. We secure high-quality mid-to-high-end overseas clients through neutral professional material selection services, supporting domestic high-end AGE products to enter the European composite material supply chain.
