Industry Breakthrough: Coloray Co-Develops Attapulgite-Based Light-Colored Antistatic Material, Wins National Invention & Entrepreneurship Award Second Prize

Recently, Zhejiang Coloray Technology Development Co., Ltd., in collaboration with Changzhou University and other institutions, successfully completed the project titled “Preparation and Industrial Application of Attapulgite-Based Light-Colored Antistatic Functional Materials”. The project was awarded the Second Prize of the Invention & Entrepreneurship Award by the China Invention Association (Certificate No. 0123). This prestigious national-level award recognizes significant achievements in technological innovation and the commercialization of research, marking a key breakthrough in China’s field of light-colored conductive functional materials.

The project focuses on attapulgite as the core raw material and utilizes structural regulation and surface modification technologies to successfully develop high-performance light-colored antistatic composite materials. These materials have been industrially applied in coatings, automotive primers, fibers, and other fields. The new material addresses major industry pain points of traditional carbon- or metal-based conductive materials, such as dark coloration, susceptibility to oxidation, and high costs, while achieving synergistic optimization in conductivity, whiteness, and mechanical performance. It demonstrates significant technological advancement and strong market competitiveness.

As one of the key participants in the project, Coloray leveraged its deep expertise in functional materials to provide critical technical support, showcasing its strong capability to transform advanced technologies into market-driven products. This award serves as a powerful endorsement of Coloray’s technical brand and industry standing, significantly enhancing the company’s reputation and credibility. In a competitive market, this “national-level” recognition acts as a strong testament to the company’s technological leadership and product reliability, helping build trust in client negotiations, project bids, and high-end market development.

Coloray will use this award as a new starting point to further deepen collaboration with universities and industry partners, increase investment in R&D of new functional materials, and drive more domestic materials to break international barriers. This effort not only injects new vitality into Coloray’s growth but also contributes to the high-quality development of China’s new materials industry.
