Policies drive the development of independent technology and the octafluorocyclobutane industry benefits

Octafluorocyclobutane, also known as perfluorocyclobutane, referred to as C-318, is a green and environmentally friendly special gas with stable chemical properties, good insulation, non-toxicity and zero ODP value. Octafluorocyclobutane has a wide range of applications. In recent years, it has been widely used as a refrigerant to replace banned chlorofluorocarbons. In addition, it is also commonly used in gas insulation media, solvents, sprays, foaming agents, and large-scale circuit etching agents. , heat pump working fluid and raw materials for the production of C2F4 and C3F6 monomers, etc. Octafluorocyclobutane can be divided into 99.9%, 99.999%, 99.99999%, etc. according to its purity. Among them, high-purity octafluorocyclobutane of 5N and above is mostly used as an etching or cleaning gas in the fields of integrated circuits and optical fibers, and is getting more and more attention. Wide range of applications.

In recent years, driven by the continued development of refrigeration, foam materials, electronic power, chemical industry and other fields, relevant Chinese companies have increased their production capacity of octafluorocyclobutane, especially the rapid development of semiconductors, display panels and other electronic industries and their associated The good market prospects displayed have stimulated enterprises such as Walter Gas, Del Technology, and Green Ling Gas to actively deploy the high-purity octafluorocyclobutane industry, becoming an important driving force for the growth of China’s octafluorocyclobutane supply. According to the released “2022-2025 Octafluorocyclobutane Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report“, in 2021 , China’s output of octafluorocyclobutane is nearly 1,500 tons.

From a policy perspective, in the “Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of the People’s Republic of China and the Outline of Long-term Goals for 2035”, the state has included the development of integrated circuits and its key materials as a key supported and encouraged industry. In the “14th Five-Year Plan for National Informatization” and the “14th Five-Year Plan for Digital Economy Development”, integrated circuits are regarded as a key basic industry and their development is supported and encouraged. In the future, driven by policy support and market demand, China’s electronics industry represented by integrated circuits will enter a period of rapid development. The localization and autonomy of semiconductors, display panels and other electronic industries will also solve the “stuck neck” problem of the electronics industry. It will inject strong impetus into the development of China’s high-purity octafluorocyclobutane industry, thereby promoting the expansion of the high-purity octafluorocyclobutane market.

Analysts believe that China is a major producer and consumer of products in the fields of refrigeration, sprays, foaming agents, heat pumps and other fields. With the tightening of environmental protection policies, octafluorocyclobutane with green and environmentally friendly properties will replace existing products that are relatively harmful to the environment and become the choice of more companies in refrigeration, foaming and other fields, thereby driving the development of low-purity octafluorocyclobutane. Growth in Butane Market Demand. In addition, breakthroughs in domestic cylinder and high-end valve technology will facilitate the storage and transportation of octafluorocyclobutane and provide assistance to the development of the octafluorocyclobutane market. Generally speaking, whether it is the low-purity or high-purity octafluorocyclobutane market, the market space is vast and the industry development prospects are good.
