my country’s perfluorohexanone industry has broad development prospects. New national standards for electrochemical energy storage drive rising market demand

Perfluorohexanone is a fluorinated ketone compound, also known as perfluorohexanone (2-methyl-3-pentanone). It is a colorless, odorless, transparent, clear, and easily vaporized liquid at room temperature. It has the advantages of corrosivity, no residue, non-toxicity, high insulation, good safety, and high cleanliness. It can be widely used in lubricants, cleaning agents, fire extinguishing, calligraphy and painting protection, electrical instrument protection and other fields.

Fire extinguishing agent is the most important application of perfluorohexanone. Perfluorohexanone is a green and environmentally friendly clean gas fire extinguishing agent. It reduces the temperature through rapid vaporization or forms an oxygen isolation layer to extinguish fires. It is an excellent alternative to traditional fire extinguishing agents such as halon fire extinguishing agents, hexafluoropropane fire extinguishing agents, and heptafluoropropane fire extinguishing agents. The product has the advantages of high fire extinguishing efficiency, no residue after fire extinguishing, good insulation, convenient storage and transportation, continuous suppression of re-ignition, zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), and low global warming potential (GWP). It can be applied to Aviation, substations, communication base stations, data centers, oil and gas exploration, automobile transportation, ocean-going transport ships, advanced precision instruments and other scenarios.

In addition, perfluorohexanone can be used as a cleaning agent to clean steam reactors and components, unnecessary sediments, fluoropolymer residues and other items accumulated in gas phase reactors; as a lubricant, on substrates such as magnetic media The surface is covered with a thin and uniform lubricating film; used as a solvent to dissolve various perfluoropolyether compounds; used as an etchant to etch dielectric materials and metal materials; used as an insulating material to protect electrical instruments and other equipment; used as Protective agent to prevent smudging, discoloration and corrosion of toys, calligraphy and paintings.

According to the “Perfluorohexanone Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center, On December 30, 2022, the Chinese government issued a new national standard – “Safety Regulations for Electrochemical Energy Storage Power Stations”, which clearly states that the fire-extinguishing medium should have good cooling and insulation properties. The currently used heptafluoropropane fire-extinguishing medium has no insulation and The re-ignition prevention effect is poor and is not suitable for use in future energy storage power stations. In this context, the replacement process of energy storage fire extinguishing agents is accelerating. Perfluorohexanone has become the best candidate for existing fire extinguishing agents due to its excellent properties. With the promotion and implementation of the new national standard for electrochemical energy storage, the demand for perfluorohexanone in the field of electrochemical energy storage has increased. my country’s perfluorohexanone The ketone industry has broad development prospects.

Industrial analysts said that the global supply of perfluorohexanone has been monopolized by 3M for a long time. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of my country’s scientific and technological level, The fine fluorine chemical industry such as fluorine and hexafluoropropylene oxide has developed rapidly. Chinese companies have made great breakthroughs in the production process of perfluorohexanone and have achieved industrial production of 1,000-ton perfluorohexanone. Lihua New Materials, Sinochem Blue Sky, Zhejiang Noah Fluorochemicals, Yonghe Co., Ltd., Huaxia Shenzhou and other companies are the leading companies in the production of perfluorohexanone in my country. In addition, as Lihua New Materials, Yonghe Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Noah Fluorochemicals and other companies have successively expanded production capacity, my country’s perfluorohexanone industry has strong self-sufficiency capabilities.
