Their ceo on 6/9 demonstrated the expandable graphite to reporter. The graphite expanded to 1500 times, it is a world record.
Based on the expandable graphite, the company's graphite sealing materials of high strength Composite plate, of graphite thermal conductivity for use in electronics materials, graphite polystyrene for the building materials industry, the product demand is so strong that orders have already been placed for next year, annual sales income of more than 700 million Yuan, an increase of 245%.
More importantly, company is proud of its nuclear-grade graphite seal products which were first released to market 3 years ago. They now have replaced foreign products out of the Chinese market. YXGC is China's only enterprise to have the capacity to produce the nuclear grade products. YXGC is to become a strong force in the development of China's nuclear industry. (****I think TON is going into nuclear grade graphite too!****)
This one is about another company, not YXGC - Yichang micro-magnetic research and production in the East of the giant magnetoresistance effect (GMR) magnetic sensor, magnetic logic devices, magneto-electronic devices such as magnetic sensing resistance around areas such as industrial control, automotive electronics,
became the innovation product in China, new sales revenue of more than 40 million Yuan last year. Is currently accelerating industrialization, hoping in 13 to 15 years time, and strive to produce every year 1 billion chips of value exceeding 50 billion yuan, world famous, national first-rate magnetic base.
This one is about the YiChang city research prowess - Yichang, incentive mechanisms to promote inventions. Last year, the city applied for 2,258 national patents, an increase of 34.17%; Three companies have applied to the United States, Japan, Korea, and other regions for a series of international patents; Angel Group has received the "high-tolerance yeast production technology and application of" national science and technology progress award.
