The Shandong Qifu PFA project is expected to be completed in the first half of the year, helping the output value of fluorine-containing new materials in Gaoqing exceed 10 billion yuan
As the Spring Festival approaches, several construction sites in the Economic Development Zone of Gaoqing County, Zibo City, Shandong Province are still bustling with activity. Shandong Qifu New Materials Co., Ltd.'s fluorine-containing high-end electronic material project site is roaring with machines. According to local media reports, the project is expected to be completed and put into operation before June this year; The new project of Zibo Feiyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. is accelerating its progress; Shandong Longhua New Materials Co., Ltd. has achieved new heights in development.
These projects are expected to achieve several historic breakthroughs in Gaoqing County. The new project of Shandong Qifu New Materials Co., Ltd. will achieve a breakthrough in zero production of electronic grade ultra pure polytetrafluoroethylene (PFA) in China. Zibo Feiyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. has just reached an equity cooperation agreement with Zhejiang Juhua Co., Ltd. Juhua has invested in Feiyuan Chemical, further extending the fluorine chemical industry chain in Gaoqing County.
"There are many enterprises in our park that have the ability to produce high-end new materials." In the chemical industry park, a project leader said that for the electronic grade ultra pure fusible PFA produced by Nazifluorine, as a type of new material, it is widely used in fields such as automotive, chemical, electronic and electrical, engineering, and is also an indispensable and important raw material in the semiconductor industry. For many years, this material has been in a state of foreign monopoly. At present, this new material has been mass-produced in the Chemical Industry Park of Gaoqing Economic Development Zone.
Sun Tengfei, the project leader who is accelerating the launch of new projects, said that at the beginning, their company had a high reputation and focused on the fluorine chemical industry chain in the park. Enterprises such as Feiyuan Chemical and Heda Polymer have long established a high-quality industrial chain here. He said, "Without leaving the park, we can obtain high-quality raw materials and greatly reduce production costs."
In some industries that are considered key areas for future international competition, Gaoqing County has also begun to test its layout. Last year, Nanda Optoelectronics (Zibo) Co., Ltd. launched a new product - hexafluorobutadiene, which has recently started trial production. It is an etching gas that can be used to "finely carve" chips.
"We are working hard to expand the market," said enterprise manager Yuan Genlin. As a leading domestic electronic materials enterprise, they are laying out an electronic materials industry cluster to provide key core materials for strategic emerging industries such as electronic specialty gases, photoresists, and ALD precursors. At present, with Feiyuan Chemical, Feiyuan Dongtai Anhydrous Hydrogen Fluoride, and Ammonium Hydrogen Fluoride as raw materials, Nanda Optoelectronics (Zibo) has further extended the production chain of Gaoqing Fluorine Chemical Enterprises, and more and more enterprises are entering the chain.
On January 20th, Zhejiang Juhua Co., Ltd. and Zibo Feiyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. officially signed a contract. Juhua Co., Ltd. acquired 51% of the equity of Feiyuan Chemical for 1.394 billion yuan, and the core industry of the two enterprises - the fluorine chemical industry - complements each other. As a leading domestic fluorine chemical enterprise, Juhua Group's establishment in Gaoqing will further elongate the Gaoqing fluorine chemical industry chain by partnering with local fluorine chemical leader Feiyuan Chemical in Zibo.
At present, there are 6 listed cooperative enterprises in the Chemical Industry Park of Gaoqing Economic Development Zone, all of which are in the new materials industry. In recent years, around the fluorine containing new material industry chain, Gaoqing County has continuously made additive articles. In just two years, the output value of the fluorine containing new material industry chain has exceeded 10 billion yuan. In addition, Shandong Aofan New Materials Co., Ltd. has successfully established the largest fourth generation refrigerant industry base in China for the 34000 ton/year fourth generation fluorine-containing functional new material project (Phase I).
Development focus
To build a fluorine silicon material industry base, the following projects are mainly planned and constructed:
1. New fluorinated ODS substitutes;
2. Fluorinated polymers and intermediates;
3. Fluorine containing functional membrane materials;
4. Fluorine containing fine chemicals;
5. Lithium battery chemicals;
6. Key projects such as silicon materials.
The Shandong Qifu New Materials Fluorine High end Electronic Materials Project is located in the Chemical Industry Park of Gaoqing County. The first phase covers an area of 209 acres, with a total investment of 920 million yuan and a total construction area of 72000 square meters. It will construct 40000 tons/year of difluoromethane (R22), 20000 tons/year of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE), 10000 tons/year of hexafluoropropylene (HFP), 2000 tons/year of octafluorocyclobutane (C4F8), 3000 tons/year of fusible polytetrafluoroethylene (PFA), and 3000 tons/year of perfluoroethylene propylene (FEP) 50000 tons/year of chloroform (R40) production line.
