Establish a "two platforms and one center" research and development system, and set up the Kexing Mickey Joint Laboratory in Guangzhou; Establish a research and development center and a factory finished product testing center in Hai'an, Nantong; Bringing together more than 30 scientific research experts, including experts from the National Thousand Talents Program, directors of key laboratories of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Jiangsu Province's innovation and entrepreneurship talents, and doctors from the University of Science and Technology of China, we aim to create a core engine for technological innovation, continuously promote the development of new quality productivity, and make our company's product technology excellent, becoming a preferred choice for domestic substitution.

Guangzhou R&D Platform

As the “driving engine” of Kexing Innovation, the Guangzhou R&D platform adheres to a principle-based approach, designing and synthesizing chemically formulated additives with specific functions at the molecular level. It continuously delivers cutting-edge technologies and innovative products to the metalworking fluids industry, thereby injecting strong momentum into the company’s scientific research and development. In 2024, Nantong Kexing, a specialized, sophisticated, and novel enterprise in the field of metalworking fluids, joined forces with Guangzhou Miqui, a similarly specialized, sophisticated, and novel enterprise in the chemical additives sector, to undertake a comprehensive laboratory upgrade of the Guangzhou R&D Center. This collaboration resulted in the creation of a 1,680-square-meter innovation platform that integrates R&D, testing, and pilot-scale production, assembled an elite team of senior researchers specializing in materials chemistry, synthetic processes, applied physics, and other disciplines, and equipped the center with more than 200 sets of internationally advanced R&D instruments and equipment.

Hai’an Testing Center

As the “brake” of Kexing Innovation, the Factory Testing Center shoulders the critical responsibility of quality control. In accordance with the requirements of the quality management system, it employs industry-leading testing and inspection equipment to conduct comprehensive analyses of raw materials, finished products, and customer-supplied samples, covering chemical composition, physicochemical parameters, and performance indicators. By rigorously enforcing quality checkpoints throughout the entire product lifecycle, the center ensures superior product performance and quality.

Assemble an elite industry team

Over more than three decades of development, Kexing has collaborated with leading institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, and Suzhou Institute of Technology, establishing robust industry–academia–research partnerships.The institution has successively recruited high-caliber talent through flexible hiring arrangements, including Professor Jiang Xingmao, a former expert under the National Thousand Talents Program; Professor Jia Hongbing from Nanjing University of Science and Technology; and Professor Pan Taijun from the Institute of Corrosion Protection of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, thereby establishing a research team comprising dozens of doctoral, master’s, and bachelor’s degree holders.This will further provide intellectual support for Kexing’s scientific research and development. In addition, we plan to jointly draft a standard for rust-preventive oil with the Vehicle Powertrain Technology Center of China North Industries Group Corporation, thereby further standardizing the production and processing requirements for national defense equipment and enhancing quality assurance in its manufacturing.
