Current production of liquid crystal material, the main fluorinated liquid crystal chemicals and hydrocarbon liquid crystal chemicals. Fluorinated liquid crystals chemicals because of their stable characteristics become key liquid crystal chemicals, occupies an irreplaceable position in the TFT liquid crystal material. Over the past decade, almost all of the nematic liquid crystal material development are the fluorine-containing liquid crystal chemicals, the development of mixing a liquid crystal material are fluorine-containing liquid crystal chemical composition.

The growth of the liquid crystal material is generally grows with the growth of the liquid crystal panel, increasing the size of the liquid crystal display panel, so the growth rate of the liquid crystal material is generally higher than the growth rate of the liquid crystal display panel. Is expected that the global TFT LCD materials market demand in 2010 will be more than 560 tons, the overall compound annual growth rate of 23% in the past three years, the market prospect is very broad.

Currently, TFT-LCD LCD panel industry is mainly concentrated in Japan, South Korea, China Taiwan and mainland China. A total of more than 110 around the world completed and under construction TFT-LCD production lines, the annual production capacity of about 130 million square meters, covering large LCD TV screen to the multi-class products from small electronic products.

2. Fluorinated pharmaceutical chemicals industry

Efficient, broad-spectrum, low toxicity, low-residue characteristics of fluorinated medicine, at home and abroad has reached hundreds of fluorine-containing drugs, many drugs have become the main varieties of the treatment of certain diseases, such as the quinolone antibiotic ofloxacin , antidepressant drug fluoxetine, diabetes drugs West column Ting. The medicine is the most common of fluorinated quinolone antibiotics, new anti-infective drugs developed in 1970s, is also very rapid development in recent years, antibiotic drugs. Which norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin production, accounting for about 98% of the total production of the domestic quinolone antibiotics, and a considerable number every year for export.

Further, in the pharmaceutical field, a variety of pharmaceutical compounds in the synthesis process generally required use of fluorine-containing chemicals as raw materials or intermediates. The industry generally believe that the next few years, one-third of the new raw material medicine will be established on the basis of fluorine chemical products. At present, China has become one of the largest countries of fluorine-containing drugs and fluorine-containing pharmaceutical chemicals production, more than 80% of the fluorine-containing pharmaceutical chemicals for export.

Pilot enterprises: Yongtai Technology

Yongtai Technology company formerly Linhai Yongtai Chemical Co., Ltd. was established on October 11, 1999. March 14, 2006, the company changed its name called Zhejiang Yongtai Chemical Co., Ltd..
