2026

The Digital Age

Each month, customers receive more than 1,300 bottles of free samples of Taiga additives, which are provided based on recommendations from application trials. Taiga’s application laboratory conducts more than 1,500 sets of application trials each month, serving more than 28 downstream industries.

2025

CHINACOAT’s New PFAS-Free Solution

At the 2026 CHINACOAT International Coatings Exhibition, Taiga Additives introduced a brand-new line of PFAS-free product solutions, including flagship products such as the Tech-2550 mirror-finish leveling agent and the Tech-367-4 defoamer. These products are fully compliant with the EU REACH regulation and offer new options for coatings customers worldwide.

2023

New R&D Center—Shanghai Zhicheng

To support the growth of Taiga Additives’ R&D efforts, Taiga Polymers has strategically established a new R&D facility in Shanghai Zhicheng. This move further strengthens the company’s technological barriers in the specialty chemicals sector and marks a new milestone in Taiga Additives’ R&D capabilities and innovation capacity. The new R&D facility is equipped with precision R&D equipment valued at tens of millions, including but not limited to: GC-MS gas chromatography–mass spectrometry systems, HPLC-GPC high-performance liquid chromatography–gel permeation chromatography systems, LPSA laser particle size analyzers (nanometer-level), FTIR Fourier transform infrared spectrometers, and TGA thermogravimetric analyzers. Key R&D personnel possess cutting-edge expertise in specialty chemical research and development, such as controlled polymerization technology.

2022

Brand-New Application Lab

To better serve its customers, at the end of 2022, Taiga Additives acquired a brand-new application laboratory spanning over 1,000 square meters in Shunde—known as the “Home of Coatings.” More than 1,000 sets of experiments are conducted here each month, primarily serving industries in China such as coatings, inks, composites, and nanomaterials. With technical staff possessing extensive application experience across these sectors, the value of Taiga Additives is greatly amplified here.

2014

Establishment of the Jiaxing Plant

In 2014, Taiga Polymers formally signed a memorandum of understanding with the Zhejiang Haiyan Economic Development Zone to invest in a new additive production project—the Jiaxing Plant. The total investment in the plant is 105 million yuan, and it is planned to occupy approximately 25 mu of land. The Jiaxing Plant marks a significant step forward for Tiger Additives toward large-scale, independent production. By introducing globally advanced, intelligent chemical production equipment and production control systems, the company aims to provide customers with more stable, higher-quality, and more consistently controlled additive products.

2013

Taiga's Rapid, Large-Scale Growth

Thanks to sustained high R&D investment, Taiga Additives’ Tech product portfolio has expanded from a small number of categories at the time of its founding to over 100 models. Its business spans diverse fields such as coatings and inks, plastics and rubber, composite materials, and new energy, with a sales network extending to many countries overseas. The company’s revenue has risen steadily, maintaining a robust compound annual growth rate of approximately 40%. Its production and sales volume has entered the 100-million-level tier in the specialty additives sector, marking a critical phase in its transition toward a period of large-scale, rapid growth.

2011

Technical Platform Established, Revenue Growing Rapidly

In November 2011, at the 16th China International Coatings Exhibition, Taiga Additives unveiled more than 10 new additive technologies at its dedicated booth, including: rapid mirror-finish leveling agents, controlled-polymerization block-type superdispersants, reactive silicone additives, anti-graffiti additives, hyperbranched polymer adhesion promoters, and water-based adhesion promoters for inorganic substrates. The performance of these products was recognized by customers in industries such as coatings and inks, composite materials, and specialty materials. That same year, the company completed two projects funded by the Shanghai Innovation Fund, and several of its achievements were granted international patents.

2008

Expanding into the South China market and entering the high-end silicone additives sector

In October 2008, Taiga Additives established Foshan Taiga Polymer Technology Co., Ltd. in Shunde, Guangdong—known as the “Hometown of Coatings in China”—to establish a foothold in South China. That same year, the company entered into a strategic partnership with Dow Corning, a U.S.-based silicone company, in the field of high-end silicone additives, and established technical and economic cooperation relationships with the U.S.-based Momentive Performance Materials Group and Fudan University, among others. This created a “dual-drive” model combining “R&D in China” with “world-class materials,” and the company filed nearly 10 patent applications.

2005-2006

The Birth of TAIGA

In 2005, Dr. Tian Junxiang launched his startup in Shanghai and assembled a team of overseas-returned technical experts with R&D experience at multinational chemical companies. At that time in China, he charted a path that was not necessarily the easiest but had far-reaching implications—building the company on technology, sustaining it through R&D, and developing truly high-tech specialty polymer additives.
In March 2006, Shanghai Taiga Polymer Technology Co., Ltd. (Taiga Additive / TAIGA ADDITIVE) was officially registered and established. With the primary goal of applying the latest advancements in polymer science to the chemical industry and embracing “Professionalism Creates Miracles” as its corporate culture, the company laid the foundation for the “Taiga Polymer” brand.
