Fluorochemicals are chemical compounds comprising fluorine and providing effective repellency against both aqueous and oil-based substances. They help remove water, soil, and oil particles from metals, papers, carpets, and fabrics. They also assist in making abrasion, chemical, and fire-resistant polymers that are utilized in non-stick cookware, grease-wicking pizza boxes, airplane hydraulic fluid, and breathable rain jackets. Apart from this, they are used as additives in lubricants for recording media, firearms, conveyor chains, and combustion engines. Presently, they find extensive applications in electronics, petrochemical, agrochemical, construction, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries across the globe.
Fluorochemicals Market Trends:
Due to the increasing plasma etching in semiconductors and light bulbs to enhance their chemical and physical properties, there is a rise in the demand for fluorochemicals. This, along with their growing utilization in producing flat display panels and plastics, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, there is an increase in the demand for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) technology in the construction industry around the world. This, coupled with the rising construction activities, is propelling the growth of the market. Apart from this, the escalating demand for refrigeration in the food and beverage (F&B) industry for convenient storage of food products is positively influencing the market. Additionally, fluorochemicals are used as anesthetics, antidepressants, antifungals and antibiotics, antacids, cholesterol-lowering agents, and steroids. In line with this, the increasing employment of fluorochemicals in the healthcare industry for medical implants due to their high biocompatibility is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Apart from this, the rising application of aluminum in the automotive industry is catalyzing the demand for fluorochemicals worldwide.
