China has become the world's largest producer and marketer of fluorine chemicals

In the decade since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the key core technologies of the fluorine chemical industry have continued to make breakthroughs, the industrial chain has been extended and completed, and the industry has continued to grow and develop
.
China's fluorine chemical enterprises have developed to thousands of enterprises, forming a complete fluorine chemical industry chain including inorganic fluoride, fluorocarbon chemicals, fluoropolymers, fluorine-containing fine chemicals, fluorine material processing, etc.
, with an annual production capacity of more than 6.
4 million tons, a total output of more than 4.
5 million tons, and a total output value of more than 100 billion yuan
.
The application of fluorine chemical products has been extended to high-end fields
such as national defense and military industry, aerospace, informatization and new energy.
China has become the world's largest producer and consumer of fluorine chemicals
.

Inorganic fluoride production capacity has ranked first in the
world.
Products from fluorite, hydrogen fluoride, fluorinated salts, upgraded to electronic grade hydrofluoric acid, high-purity fluorinated salts, fluorinated electronic special gas, lithium battery fluorinated electrolytes, fluorinated additives, fluorinated graphite and rare earth fluoride and other special materials
.
Electronic grade hydrofluoric acid has been industrialized to meet the UPS and UPSS grades used in semiconductors; The total production capacity of major electronic special gas varieties such as nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) reached 62,000 tons/year; The production capacity of lithium hexafluorophosphate for lithium battery electrolyte exceeds 100,000 tons/year
.

The development of fluorocarbon chemicals has made brilliant achievements
.
At present, China's fluorocarbon chemicals have formed a relatively complete product system, and the total production capacity and output of the main products in 2020 will reach 2.
824 million tons and 1.
612 million tons respectively, which has become the world's largest producer and consumer of
fluorocarbon chemicals.

Fluoropolymers achieve high-end breakthroughs
.
With the rapid development of emerging industries such as new energy, semiconductors, medical treatment, 5G communications, environmental protection industry, aerospace and aviation in China, the production, processing and application level of domestic high-end fluoropolymers has increased rapidly, and the application field of fluoropolymers has expanded
rapidly 。 In 2021, the total production capacity of China's major fluoropolymers, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), perfluoroethylene propylene copolymer (FEP), fluorine rubber (FKM) and other products, was 312,000 tons, an increase of 98.
2% over 2012, accounting for about 64.
9% of the total global production capacity, and the total output was 258,000 tons, an increase of 249.
5%
over 2012.
The level of fluoropolymer chemical equipment and automation control in China has been further improved, the mass transfer and heat transfer efficiency of the reactor has been greatly improved, and the batch stability of polymer products has been significantly improved
。 Medium and high compression ratio polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) dispersion resin, ultra-high molecular weight PTFE resin, etc.
have been widely used in base station filters, high-frequency high-speed PCB/FPC, 5G chip process, high-frequency connectors, cables and other 5G communication fields; Meltable polytetrafluoroethylene (PFA) preparation technology breaks the monopoly of foreign countries, develops a series of products such as cable grade, injection extrusion grade, molding grade, electrostatic spray grade, etc.
, and successfully achieves import substitution in the semiconductor industry and 5G antenna and other fields; Ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) resin core preparation technology has been successfully developed, and the products are used in cable insulation, thin film construction, new energy and special applications; Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is the key material for power lithium battery vehicles, and many domestic enterprises have achieved breakthroughs and supplied lithium battery head enterprises; Fluorine-containing polyimide has been successfully applied to the field of 5G communication and flexible display; Perfluorosulfonase acid resin is used in the field of hydrogen energy, fuel cell proton membrane technology is the world's leading, has formed 100,000 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles core material support
.

The competitiveness of fluorine-containing fine chemicals in the international market has been enhanced
.
In the fluoroene ether, aliphatics, fluorinated liquid crystal intermediates and heterocyclic fluorine-containing fine chemicals have developed a series of internationally competitive products; The development of fluorine-containing fine chemicals required in the fields of new fluorine-containing pesticides, pharmaceuticals, liquid crystal intermediates, fluorine-containing surfactants and new energy materials has accelerated significantly; Breakthroughs have been made in the synthesis of special fluorine-containing monomers such as perfluoro-n-propyl vinyl ether (PPVE), laying a solid foundation
for the production of high-end fluoropolymers.
