The demand for organofluorine surfactants continues to grow, driving the increase of domestic companies

Organofluorine surfactants are surfactant products that use perfluoroalkyl or perfluoroalkenyl or partially fluorinated alkyl groups as the hydrophobic part, and then introduce appropriate linking groups and hydrophilic groups as needed. .

Although the research and development of organofluorosurfactants in my country was earlier, the number of organofluorosurfactant manufacturers is constantly increasing, product types are gradually increasing, and the scope of applications is constantly being promoted. However, due to product technical barriers, compared with developed countries, product development is There are still relatively large gaps in terms of types and product performance, resulting in the fact that my country’s organofluorosurfactant industry is still in the growth stage. Judging from the future development direction of the industry, high-end special fluorinated surfactants, environmentally friendly organic fluorinated surfactants and other products will be continuously developed. There is still room for continued growth in market size, and the application scope of products will increase with the variety of product types. It continues to expand with the increase in supply and supply.

According to the “2023 Global and China Organofluoro Surfactant Industry In-depth Research Report” issued by the Industrial Research Center, organofluorine surface Activator is a widely used activator product. It has efficient surface activity, excellent heat resistance and chemical stability, as well as excellent waterproof, oil-proof and anti-fouling functional properties. It is widely used in coatings, papermaking and so on. , metallurgy, textile, petroleum and other industrial fields, it is especially suitable for application in some harsh conditions and special application fields where ordinary hydrocarbon surfactants are not suitable, and the replacement effect is obvious. In 2022, the output of my country’s organic fluorine surfactant industry will be close to 3,000 tons, and the domestic market size will exceed 2 billion yuan.

At present, the ownership structure of the main organofluorine surfactant manufacturers in my country is private enterprises, such as Hangzhou Renshan Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai Yumu Chemical Co., Ltd., Wuhan Bolite Chemical Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Xinzhoubang Technology Co., Ltd., Hubei Most private enterprises, such as Ustar Technology Co., Ltd., have independently set up organic fluorine surfactant production lines or factories through their own process improvement and research and development in the field of fine fluorine chemicals. The main domestic R&D institutions are research institutes and universities. Among them, the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Wuhan University have strong R&D capabilities in fluorine chemicals.

Industrial researchers believe that organofluorine surfactants are still a subdivision of the fluorine chemical industry, and the industry market size is still relatively small. Small, Chinese companies have made technological breakthroughs in recent years, their production capacity has continued to grow, and they have gradually occupied a certain position in the market. Organofluorine surfactant products are mainly affected by the downstream market. Organofluorine surfactant products are mainly used in modern industrial fields such as coatings, papermaking, metallurgy, textiles, and petroleum. With the continuous development of the industry, the application fields of organic fluorine surfactants are further increasing, and the continuous development of the downstream market will promote the continued expansion of the market size of China’s organic fluorine surfactant industry.
