Trifluoroethanol (TEFA) has a wide range of applications and a large number of companies in my country

Trifluoroethanol, also known as 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, abbreviated as TEF or TEFA, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C2H3F3O. It appears as a colorless liquid and is soluble in water and most organic solvents at room temperature. Soluble polyamide, cellulose triacetate and polypeptides. Trifluoroethanol is an important chemical raw material that can be widely used in chemical industry, medicine, dyes and other fields.

Specifically, in the field of medicine, trifluoroethanol can be used in anesthetics such as fluoroacetylene ether, isoflurane, and dechlorofluoroalkane, as well as the central nervous system stimulant flutilin, the antiarrhythmic drug flucarbazide, and the analgesic drug benzo Pharmaceutical production scenarios such as diazepines; in the field of dyes, trifluoroethanol can be used as an organic intermediate in dye synthesis scenarios, playing a role in improving dye solubility, light resistance, and weather resistance; in the chemical industry, trifluoroethanol can be used as Organic intermediates are used in the synthesis of fluorine-containing fine chemicals, including trifluoroacetaldehyde acetal, trifluoroethyl ether, etc., and can also be used as solvents in the production of nucleophilic polymers such as polyoxymethylene, polyamide, and polyacrylonitrile. Scenes.

According to the“China Trifluoroethanol (TEFA) Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that trifluoroethanol has a wide range of application fields. Under the background of rapid development of the downstream market, its demand continues to increase, and the industry development prospects are good. The domestic trifluoroethanol market size will be approximately 230 million yuan in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 4.2%.

From the production side, there are various production methods for trifluoroethanol. According to different raw materials, it can be divided into trifluorochloroethane method, trifluoroacetaldehyde method, trifluoroacetic acid method, trifluoroacetyl chloride method, trifluoroacetate method, Trifluoroacetic anhydride method, vinylidene fluoride method, trifluoroethane method, etc. Among them, the chlorotrifluoroethane method has the advantages of low raw material cost, safety and reliability, and is the most promising method for producing trifluoroethanol in my country.

After recent years of development, my country has many trifluoroethanol production companies, including Jiangsu Blue Planet Environmental Protection Technology, Shandong Qianlihong Biotechnology, Changzhou Jintan Yongxiang Chemical Technology, Jiangsu Xingzhilan Environmental Protection Technology, Shandong Yihong Chemical, Shandong Xinyuan Chemical, Jiangsu Kangtai Fluorine Chemicals, Hubei Kandis Chemicals, etc. However, most local companies are small and medium-sized enterprises, and their competitiveness needs to be continuously improved in the future.

Industry analysts said that trifluoroethanol is an important type of fine chemical product that can be widely used in In the fields of medicine, chemicals, dyes, etc., benefiting from the rapid development of downstream markets, their market demand is continuing to increase. After recent years of development, my country has gradually become one of the major consumers of trifluoroethanol in the world, and there is considerable room for development in the market. At present, there are a large number of enterprises in my country’s trifluoroethanol market, but most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises, and the market competition is fierce.
