I. Client Background

The cooperating client is RUBBER TECH FR, a high-end rubber product group headquartered in Lyon, France. It specializes in premium automotive sealing components, high-speed rail vibration-damping rubber and high-filler silica tire reinforcement systems, supplying luxury European automakers, SNCF French National Railways and top-tier construction machinery brands. The client purchases 50 tons of SCA-S69X silane coupling agent annually, requiring high purity, low VOC, strong batch stability and compatibility with high-filler silica systems, qualifying as a typical technology-driven mid-to-high-end customer.

Previously, the client long purchased Evonik Si-69 from Germany, but shifted to Chinese SCA-S69X (upgraded domestic Si-69 variant) to alleviate cost pressures. However, after contacting five leading domestic manufacturers including Jianghan New Materials, Hongbai New Materials, Chenguang New Materials, Nanjing Nengde and Sanfu New Materials, each factory only promoted its own proprietary models, emphasizing internal advantages while evading competitor comparisons and withholding objective data on rival strengths.

The client’s technical team lacked systematic knowledge of China’s silane brand ecosystem and could not horizontally differentiate key indicators such as purity, sulfur chain distribution, low-temperature stability and VOC content across models, fearing misselection would compromise high-end product quality. It subsequently entrusted HiSiaddi to conduct multi-brand objective evaluation, horizontal comparison and targeted product recommendation.
