There are not many PTFE micro powder manufacturers and the domestic market demand is still relatively limited.

Polytetrafluoroethylene micropowder, also known as low molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene micropowder, polytetrafluoroethylene ultrafine powder, and polytetrafluoroethylene wax, is a dispersion obtained by the telomerization reaction of tetrafluoroethylene, which is then condensed, washed, and dried. The prepared low molecular weight free-flowing powder has excellent temperature resistance, weather resistance, cold resistance, aging resistance (more than ten years), non-stickiness, high electrical insulation, high flame retardancy and excellent self-lubrication. It has the characteristics of good properties and dispersibility, and is easy to mix evenly with other materials. It can be widely used in engineering plastics, coatings, lubricating oils, greases, rubber and other industries.

From the production side, Japan, the United States and other countries are currently the main producing areas of PTFE micro powder. Representative companies include Daikin, Sanye Technology, Solvay, etc. Among them, Japan’s Daikin has a production base in Italy and a sales company in China; Solvay and Sanye Technology have branches in China, have strong market competitiveness in the world, and participate in China’s PTFE micro powder market compete. There are only a small number of domestic polytetrafluoroethylene manufacturers. Representative companies include Zhejiang Gerry New Materials Co., Ltd., Suzhou Nosheng Functional Polymer Materials Co., Ltd., Shanghai Tongshi Technology Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Bolong Auxiliary Materials Co., Ltd., etc.

From the perspective of market concentration, according to the “In-depth Market Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report of China’s PTFE Micro Powder Industry from 2023 to 2028” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that in 2022, Zhejiang Goree New Materials Co., Ltd., Suzhou Nuogao Molecular Materials Co., Ltd., Sanye Technology (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., Shanghai Tongshi Technology Co., Ltd. Shanghai Tongshi Technology Co., Ltd. The total output share of polytetrafluoroethylene micropowder produced by the company’s four companies is 86.1%. From this point of view, the domestic polytetrafluoroethylene micropowder industry is extremely concentrated.

From the demand side, at present, the PTFE micro powder produced in my country is mainly exported, and only a small part is sold in the domestic market. For example, the export proportion of PTFE micro powder of Zhejiang Gerui New Materials Co., Ltd. reaches 60%; Suzhou Nosheng Functional Polymer Materials Co., Ltd.’s PTFE micro powder export accounted for more than 50%. At the same time, due to domestic market capacity constraints and the relatively high price of imported products, the amount of PTFE micro powder imported into my country is not large. Overall, the demand for PTFE micropowder in the domestic market is still relatively limited.

From the perspective of demand structure, PTFE micro powder is mainly used in the field of engineering plastics. In 2022, the domestic demand for PTFE micro powder in the field of engineering plastics will account for 51.2%, and the demand in the coating field will account for 19.1%. Ink, rubber, etc. Demand in other fields accounted for 29.7%.

Industrial analysts said that polytetrafluoroethylene micropowder has low molecular weight, good fluidity and high crystallinity, and can be added to materials to improve Its comprehensive performance has great potential for development in engineering plastics, rubber, ink and other industries. In the future, as the technical level of the PTFE micro powder industry continues to improve and the scope of product applications is further expanded, the demand for PTFE micro powder may be realized. further growth.
