On June 26–27, 2026, the “Adhesive AI: Glue That Shapes Humanity” 2026 Fourth International Adhesives Forum and Longmen County Functional Film Industry Investment Promotion Conference was grandly held in Kunshan, Jiangsu. The event was hosted by Die‑Cutting Home, Coating Home, and Youcai Youliao, with joint guidance and co‑organization from the Longmen County Government and the Guangdong Industrial Design Research Institute for Functional Film Materials. This year’s forum focused on two emerging trillion‑yuan‑scale sectors—humanoid robots and AI‑powered computing servers—bringing together over 200 leading companies spanning upstream adhesive raw materials, die‑cutting processing, and end‑product manufacturing. It established an integrated industry platform for technical discussions, product showcases, and business matchmaking. Dongguan Hongxing New Materials Co., Ltd. made a prominent appearance at the event, presenting its full range of high‑temperature‑resistant PI tapes, antistatic tapes, and flame‑retardant specialty tapes, and joined industry peers across the entire value chain to explore new opportunities for domestic substitution in high‑end functional adhesive materials.
I. The event kicks off, with the entire industry chain discussing the new blue ocean of adhesives for humanoid robots
This forum focuses on the current industry trends, with numerous experts from leading companies taking the stage during the main session to share their insights. An expert from a humanoid robot manufacturer dissected the industry’s development landscape on-site, revealing that globally there are already 136 humanoid robot companies and 259 products in commercial deployment, with domestic firms accounting for as much as 84.17%. The industry’s total financing has surpassed RMB 150 billion, and shipments of complete robots continue to rise, driving a significant market gap for specialized adhesives that offer high-temperature resistance, bendability, and low outgassing.
Zhu Shuangcheng, Marketing Director at Shanghai Jinghua Adhesives, delivered a presentation titled “An Initial Exploration of Adhesive Tapes for Humanoid Robots.” Drawing on the example of Unitree’s GD01 manned transforming mecha, he detailed the stringent performance requirements placed on flexible pressure-sensitive adhesives, ultra-thin PI tapes, and cushioning composite films for dexterous hands, joints, and the robot’s body shell. He highlighted that conventional general-purpose tapes struggle to meet the demands of robots’ high-frequency reciprocating motions and tight assembly spaces, thereby pointing toward clear directions for product innovation among manufacturers of specialized high-temperature‑resistant, antistatic films.
The auditorium was packed, with Hongxing New Materials’ technology and sales teams attending the entire event in depth, meticulously documenting key technical metrics—such as temperature resistance, flame retardancy, antistatic properties, and residue-free adhesion—for computing hardware and humanoid robots. They then leveraged their own product portfolio to develop comprehensive solutions tailored to robots, servers, and electronic manufacturing terminals.
