The highest virtue is like water, nourishing all things; DADIYUAN joins hands with technology to create a win-win future. On June 11, Guangdong Shunde DADIYUAN New Materials Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “DADIYUAN”) held a grand ceremony marking the completion of its environmentally friendly insulating paint project, along with a new-product launch event. This milestone signifies that this high-tech, specialized, and innovative enterprise has once again firmly chosen to deepen its roots in Ronggui, taking concrete steps—such as increasing capital and expanding production—to reach a new stage of development and embark on a fresh journey.

On that day, Liang Hengzhi, a member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the Shunde District Science and Technology Bureau; Zhang Yuheng, Deputy Director of the Ronggui Subdistrict Office; along with representatives from industry, academia, and the business community—including the Chinese Society for Electrical Engineering, the China Electrical Equipment Industry Association, the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Shunde Polytechnic—gathered to jointly witness this significant moment.

A disruptive manufacturing process: removing barriers to mass production of AI chips at the million‑unit scale.

“The ultimate frontier of AI is computing power, and the ultimate frontier of computing power is electricity. And at the very end of electricity lie the electronic appliances and micro-special motors in our hands; the soul of these motors, meanwhile, is today’s newly commissioned core product—high-performance water-based self-adhesive enameled wire varnish.” At the event, Zhang Mengqiang, Chairman of Guangdong Shunde DADIYUAN New Materials Co., Ltd., delivered a speech that situated the technological breakthroughs of a materials company within the grand industrial chain of the artificial intelligence era.

As artificial intelligence reshapes the world with overwhelming force, what underpins this massive operation is, at its core, an endless supply of energy and sophisticated, highly efficient electronic and electrical systems. And at the heart of components that power robotic dexterous hands, voice‑coil motors, and countless micro‑specialized devices are strands of ultra‑fine enameled wire. Zhang Mengqiang pointed out that in the past, traditional insulation‑varnish processes faced immense pressure to comply with environmental regulations and hit bottlenecks in production efficiency. DADIYUAN chose not to compromise but instead rose to the challenge.

Notably, the newly completed eco-friendly insulating paint project not only marks the commissioning of a new factory but also redefines the future of manufacturing. DADIYUAN has seamlessly integrated its independently developed water-based polyurethane-modified epoxy insulating paint with a groundbreaking “instant curing” process powered by electric current—when an electric current passes through a copper conductor, heat is instantly generated from within, turning what once required lengthy baking into a procedure that can now be completed in just a few seconds.

This line of thinking underscores the pivotal role of new materials in the AI era. Only by achieving unparalleled efficiency and uncompromising environmental sustainability can we truly realize the ambitious vision of mass‑producing millions of AI‑powered devices. This represents not only a dramatic reduction in energy consumption but also a crucial step toward China’s high‑end micro‑special motor industry attaining independent, controllable capabilities.

The Roots of an Enterprise: A Vivid Example of the “Community of Shared Future” Between Government and Business

As a high-tech enterprise specializing in the R&D and production of high-end, environmentally friendly water-based insulating paints and eco‑friendly solvent-free insulating resins, DADIYUAN has, over more than a decade since its establishment, become a leader in innovative technologies in the fields of insulating paints, coated thermal conductive paints, and water-based enameled wire enamels. The company owns the proprietary brand “DRD DADIYUAN,” holds 22 authorized national invention and utility model patents, and has drafted and implemented three national standards and two industry standards. It has also successively obtained U.S. UL certification, IATF 16949 certification, and ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications. Zhang Mengqiang serves in various social roles, including member of the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Insulating Materials and member of the Insulating Materials Branch of the China Electrical Equipment Industry Association.

The leap‑forward development of enterprises is inseparable from the fertile ground of a business‑friendly environment. The swift progress of projects, in turn, hinges on the attentive services provided by the Ronggui Subdistrict Enterprise Service Center. From receiving and processing requests to coordinating implementation and ensuring closed‑loop oversight, the center addresses businesses’ challenges promptly. “When enterprises sound the alarm, departments respond” is not merely a slogan—it is Ronggui’s everyday commitment to a new model of government‑enterprise relations built on shared interests and a community of shared destiny.

The breakthrough for Ronggui’s development lies in its robust traditional industrial base, particularly the substantial untapped potential for sustainable growth embedded within its numerous small and medium-sized enterprises—potential that calls for meticulous identification and careful nurturing.

The completion and commissioning of the DADIYUAN environmental protection insulating paint project is a vivid testament to this very philosophy. A new-materials enterprise that has deeply cultivated a niche market, with the government’s “full-lifecycle support,” has successfully ascended from an innovative SME to a provincial-level specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative enterprise, and is now advancing toward becoming a national-level “Little Giant.”

A fifteen-year journey of dedicated cultivation: Industry–university–research collaboration has moved from “paper” to “online.”

At the new-product launch event, DADIYUAN unveiled a series of products, including water-based self-adhesive insulating varnish, water-based enameled wire insulating varnish, water-based insulating varnish for thermal management systems, and water-based PI insulating varnish. Notably, the company has partnered with the Chinese Academy of Sciences to establish a joint laboratory for insulating coating technology. It has pioneered the successful development of environmentally friendly polyimide (PI) enameled wire varnish and high‑thermal‑conductivity, high‑heat‑resistant, solvent‑free eco‑friendly insulating varnishes, which have already been applied in fields such as new‑energy vehicles, military industry, intelligent robotics, aerospace, and rail transit, thoroughly addressing longstanding pain points and bottlenecks in the enameled wire and motor‑transformer industries related to safety, environmental protection, low carbon and energy efficiency, and cost‑effective, high‑performance operations.

This collaborative innovation model—where enterprises pose challenges and research institutions provide solutions—has already taken deep root in Ronggui. On June 10, the Eastern Cluster Industry–University–Research Collaborative Innovation Center of Shunde District was officially inaugurated in Ronggui. Positioned as “one platform, two-way alignment,” the center aims to establish communication channels between universities and enterprises, ensuring that academic talent and technological achievements are precisely tailored to meet business needs.

Since 2010, when it pioneered the introduction of specialized industry–university–research policies at the town and subdistrict levels and established a dedicated annual fund of RMB 3 million, Ronggui has been steadily advancing along this path for fifteen years. To date, nearly 200 projects have been approved, leveraging RMB 250 million in R&D investment, generating 700 intellectual property assets, and attracting more than 200 specialized professionals. On the day of the unveiling, the first cohort of institutional teams—including Beijing Institute of Technology (Zhuhai), the Research Institute of Xi’an Jiaotong University, the Shunde Innovation College of Beijing University of Science and Technology, and Shunde Polytechnic—simultaneously took up residence, establishing a multidisciplinary, cross-sectoral platform for collaborative innovation.

“We have been walking this path for fifteen years, and we will continue to do so,” said a responsible official from Ronggui Subdistrict. Moving forward, the subdistrict will institutionalize the process of soliciting technological needs from enterprises, accelerating the translation of academic research into marketable products and turning expert insights into tangible productive forces.

Uphold the fundamentals, embrace innovation: We cannot afford to abandon traditional industries—and we simply cannot afford to do so.

At this year’s Guangdong Province High-Quality Development Conference, Chen Xinwen, a member of the Standing Committee of the Foshan Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Shunde District Party Committee, stated unequivocally that Shunde will pursue a three-pronged strategy to advance traditional, emerging, and future industries. He emphasized that “traditional manufacturing cannot and must not be abandoned,” and pledged to support conventional enterprises in adapting to new technological trends by adopting cutting-edge technologies, equipment, materials, and processes, thereby leveraging the deep integration of “AI+” and “data-driven ×” approaches to power industrial upgrading.

The practice of DADIYUAN is a vivid embodiment of this very statement. By independently developing a water-based system and a groundbreaking curing process, it has not only resolved the decades-long conflict between environmental protection and efficiency in the industry but has also penetrated the core supply chains of future-oriented sectors such as AI-driven motors, new-energy vehicles, and semiconductor packaging. Traditional industries are by no means synonymous with “low-end”; rather, they constitute a fertile ground for disruptive innovation—what matters is whether we can continuously infuse them with the vital force of scientific and technological advancement.
 

“Looking ahead, DADIYUAN will continue to stay true to its original aspirations and deepen its dual‑engine strategy of ‘materials + processes,’” said Zhang Mengqiang. “We will refine and fully master technologies with independent intellectual property rights, ensuring that China’s high‑end micro and special motors are equipped with top‑tier insulating materials developed and manufactured in-house. Let us, through practical efforts and innovation, jointly forge the invisible cornerstone of China’s intelligent manufacturing.”

From DADIYUAN’s technological breakthroughs, to Ronggui Subdistrict’s unwavering commitment to business-friendly policies, and to the strategic resolve of building a manufacturing powerhouse, the completion of DADIYUAN’s environmentally friendly insulating paint project is not merely the inauguration of a new factory—it is also a vivid demonstration of how “Made in China” can ascend to the high end. In an era of soaring AI computing power, these invisible “insulating coatings” are safeguarding every surge of electric current in China’s intelligent manufacturing, in ways that are both tangible and visible.
