Fluorine resin has wide application fields and broad industry development prospects.

Fluorine resin refers to a type of thermoplastic resin containing fluorine atoms. The main varieties include polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (FEP), polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE), polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE), etc. Among them, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTEE) is the mainstream product in the fluororesin market.

According to the “China Fluorine Resin Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center, fluorine Resin has the advantages of good high temperature resistance, strong corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength, stable chemical properties, good weather resistance, good self-lubrication, non-flammability, non-stickiness and low friction coefficient. It is widely used in petroleum, home appliances, chemicals, medicine, It is widely used in electronics, coatings, plastics and other fields. Among them, PTFE is mainly used in scenes such as high-performance containers, high-frequency communication equipment, and radio equipment production; PVDF is mainly used in petrochemical equipment valves, pipes, heat exchangers and other device manufacturing scenes; PVF is mainly used in interior and exterior decoration materials; FEP is mainly used in scenes such as interior and exterior decoration materials. Used in wire and cable, film manufacturing and other scenarios.

In recent years, with the continuous acceleration of domestic new infrastructure construction and the rapid development of the mining, industry, manufacturing, and semiconductor industries, the market scale of wires and cables, petrochemical equipment, and semiconductor devices has continued to expand, which in turn has driven the increasing market demand for fluororesin. , production capacity continues to increase. Judging from the development status of mainstream products, according to data from the China Fluorosilicone Organic Materials Industry Association, the domestic annual PTFE production capacity in 2021 will be approximately 188,000 tons/year, a year-on-year increase of 24.83%.

my country’s fluororesin industry started in the 1960s. After development in recent years, the fluororesin industry has gradually got on the right track. Local fluororesin companies mainly include Guoxin Culture, Yonghe Refrigeration, Dongyue Chemical, Sanmei Chemical, Juhua Co., Ltd., Dongguangguang, Haohua Technology, Putilai, etc. In recent years, as local companies continue to make breakthroughs in key technologies, they have taken a dominant position in the domestic mid- to low-end fluororesin market, and the industry development trend is improving.

Industry analysts said that my country’s high-end fluororesin market is still dominated by Chemours, Daikin, Arkema, Solvay, Honeywell and other leading international companies that entered the market earlier dominate the market and have a low degree of localization. At the same time, local fluororesin companies still have a large gap compared with leading foreign companies in terms of technology and scale. Therefore, in the short term, the domestic high-end market will continue to be dominated by foreign-funded companies. In the future, local companies will need to speed up the technology research and development process and increase product research and development efforts, continue to break through key high-end fluororesin technologies, and then accelerate their entry into the high-end market.
