ULKM Showcases at the 18th Shanghai International Water Exhibition; PVP-Series Membrane Materials Draw Industry Attention
From June 9 to 11, 2026, the 18th Shanghai International Water Exhibition (WATERTECH CHINA 2026)-a premier event in the global water treatment industry-was grandly held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai Hongqiao). Kema New Materials participated in the exhibition, showcasing its core water treatment raw materials, PVP K30 and PVP K90 (Booth No. 5.1H503), and presenting high-performance povidone pore-forming agent solutions to domestic and international clients in the sectors of membrane manufacturing, water purification equipment, and environmental water treatment.
This exhibition brings together over 2,500 enterprises from across the industry chain, focusing on cutting-edge sectors such as membrane materials, industrial water treatment, and residential water purification; it serves as a pivotal platform for upstream-downstream technical collaboration and business negotiations. With years of deep expertise in the R&D and production of PVP polymer materials, Kema New Materials showcased its PVP K30 and PVP K90 products-key pore-forming agents for PVDF ultrafiltration and microfiltration membranes. These products offer advantages such as excellent water solubility, controllable pore sizes, and stable hydrophilic modification capabilities; they effectively enhance membrane flux and porosity, making them suitable for diverse applications ranging from residential water purification and industrial wastewater treatment to seawater desalination. Throughout the event, the company's sales team provided on-site, one-on-one technical consultations-covering product parameter matching, membrane casting process optimization, and bulk customization-while explaining the differentiated applications of the two products based on specific manufacturing requirements: PVP K30 is suited for standard small-pore water purification membranes, whereas PVP K90 is ideal for high-toughness, large-pore specialty separation membranes. The company successfully generated significant interest in in-depth negotiations among purchasing representatives from membrane manufacturing firms.
Leveraging stable production capacity and a rigorous quality control system, Kema New Materials supplies its PVP series products to numerous leading domestic membrane manufacturers. By participating in this industry exhibition, the company aims to further expand domestic and international cooperation channels, consistently providing cost-effective, domestically produced polymer additives to the water treatment membrane sector and supporting the green transformation of the water environmental remediation industry.
