Jinfa Technology said at an earnings briefing that its specialty engineering plastics for AI applications now account for nearly 30% of its specialty plastics sales. The company is targeting growth opportunities in AI compute and embodied robotics with tailored material solutions, including ultra-thin halogen-free flame-retardant PPA and high-flow, low-warp LCP for high-speed AI server connectors, plus high-strength, low-noise PPA, LCP, PES and PEI for ultra-high-speed cooling fans. These products address dielectric, transmission and thermal/noise requirements of AI servers. Jinfa noted embodied-intelligence materials remain a very small share of overall sales and have limited near-term impact on earnings, underscoring AI compute as the primary commercial driver.
