Semiconductors will drive demand for SF6 Gas



It is divided into SF6 industrial quality and SF6 electronic quality.


Sulfur hexafluoride is used in semiconductor manufacturing, refrigeration industry, nonferrous metal smelting, aerospace, medical fields.


Main types and applications of sulfur hexafluoride


At present, sulfur hexafluoride is mainly used in power equipment transmission and distribution and control equipment industry, including gas insulated switchgear (GIS), circuit breakers, high voltage transformers, insulated transmission pipelines, high voltage switches, gas seal capacitors, transformers, etc.


Sulfur hexafluoride mainly downstream areas

Foreign SF6 manufacturers mainly include Suwei Group and Kanto Electronics Co., LTD., because foreign companies entered the industry earlier, leading production technology and large advantage in customer resources. In recent years, domestic manufacturers have increased investment in production and research; SF6 gas D, by virtue of the price advantage of domestic raw materials and labor costs, cost control is in the forefront. KEMET, a subsidiary of Yake Technology, is a global leader in the specialty sulfur hexafluoride gas industry. Currently, it has a capacity of 7,000 tons of sulfur hexafluoride.


Production capacity of sulfur hexafluoride by large domestic companies (tons)


With the development of the energy industry, the demand for new transmission, distribution and control equipment is increasing. At the same time, the need to modernize related equipment as part of regular maintenance will also drive the demand for industrial grade SF6; The commitment and localization of the domestic semiconductor industry has driven the demand for SF6 electronic devices, which are expected to maintain a steady growth trend in the future.


Huajing Industrial Research Institute specifically analyzed the development status of SF6 industry in China, the development mode of industrial chain and the market supply and demand situation, and analyzed the operating conditions and development mode of key enterprises from the political environment, economic environment and environment, and made a professional forecast of the development trend of the industry in the next few years. To provide professional guidance and advice to companies, research institutions, investment institutions and other entities.
