Bisphenol F has excellent performance. Domestic companies are actively promoting the industrialization of bisphenol F.

Bisphenol F is a bisphenol compound formed by the condensation of phenol and formaldehyde under special process conditions. Its chemical name is dihydroxydiphenylmethane and its molecular formula is C13H12O2. It appears as white leaf-like crystals with 4,4′-, 2,4′-, 2,2′-three isomers, can be used in epoxy resin, polycarbonate, polyester resin, oil-soluble phenolic resin, polysulfone resin, plasticizer, flame retardant, antioxidant Agents, heat stabilizers, surfactants and other industries.

Among them, the epoxy resin field is the most important application field of bisphenol F. Epoxy resin made from bisphenol F as raw material not only has the excellent characteristics of bisphenol A-type epoxy resin, but also has the characteristics of low viscosity and excellent performance. Compared with bisphenol A-type epoxy resin, bisphenol A-type epoxy resin has There are basically no safety risks such as flammability and explosion in the production process of phenol F epoxy resin. Due to the excellent performance of bisphenol F epoxy resin, it can be used in solvent-free to ultra-high solid coatings, lining materials, injection materials, impregnation materials and other fields.

Abroad, according to the “China Bisphenol F Market Feasibility Research Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center, bisphenol F Companies related to the phenol F industry mainly include DIC Corporation, Olin Corporation, Huntsman, Shell, Dow, Toto Kasei, Nippon Kayaku, Honshu Chemical Industry, Daelin Chemical, etc. Among them, DIC Corporation ranks first in the world in bisphenol F market share.

In China, the large-scale industrial production of bisphenol F is still in a blank state. Only a few companies are trying to carry out pilot production of bisphenol F. For example, Shandong Yike Chemical Co., Ltd. is building a 300 tons/year bisphenol F pilot plant. Hubei Yilai New Materials Co., Ltd. plans to build an 800-ton/year bisphenol F production line. In addition, in order to build a 20,000 tons/year bisphenol F epoxy resin project to meet the production needs of the project, Shandong Wansheng New Materials Co., Ltd. plans to build a 10,000 tons/year bisphenol F production line. The project is expected to be completed in October 2023. Completed month.

From the perspective of application prospects, on the one hand, compared with bisphenol A, the resin made from bisphenol F as raw material has better processing properties and mechanical properties, and its heat resistance, moisture resistance, and insulation properties are also significantly improved, which may better meet the needs of Development needs in the fields of high solid coatings, casting and cast molding. On the other hand, bisphenol F epoxy resin companies represented by Shanghai Kangda Chemical New Materials Co., Ltd., Shanghai Luohe New Materials Technology Co., Ltd., Wuhan Diergu New Materials Co., Ltd., etc. are promoting bisphenol F epoxy The application of resin products provides benefits for the development of the bisphenol F industry.

Industrial analysts said that bisphenol F is one of the new chemical materials that the country encourages the development of. In the future, as end users pay more attention to the environment, The requirements for product types and product characteristics in industries such as oxy resin, polycarbonate, and polyester resin are constantly increasing, and the awareness of bisphenol F-type resin products with better performance is increasing. The demand for bisphenol F from domestic bisphenol F downstream users is expected Increase, thus promoting relevant enterprises to increase the research and development of bisphenol F technology and break through the technical barriers of bisphenol F.
