APO RESEARCH · REPORT
Hydrogen Fluoride Ether (HFE)
Flurane (HFE) is the general name of a class of ether compounds containing hetero atoms such as oxygen atoms.Its ozone digesting value (ODP) is zero, global warming potential (GWP) is low, and the atmospheric residence time is very short.In addition to excellent environmental properties, hydroflurane also has the characteristics of low toxicity, non-corrosive, non-flammable, non-smoke generation, easy storage and transportation, with other substitutes incomparable advantages.Hydroflurane is widely used as anesthetic, foaming agent, lubricating oil, refrigerant, solvent and cleaning agent.The main application areas are semiconductor, electronic components and precision device cleaning industry, which has a high degree of dependence on this field, and a low market share at the lower end.Due to the high cost of use and maintenance, the refrigerant is not currently in mass production and is expected to be used in refrigerators, freezers and automotive air conditioners and as an alternative to high temperature heat pumps.The semiconductor, liquid crystal and hard disk manufacturing sectors are the largest consumer markets for hydroflurane cleaners, with a share of more than 64.96% last year.Electronics and battery foaming agents are also major applications of HFCS, with consumption reaching 610 tons and 89 tons respectively last year.
