February 3 — Quzhou Guotai Chaowei New Materials Co., Ltd. is constructing a pilot project for 300 tons/year of advanced fluorinated materials. The main products include trifluoromethanesulfonamide (CF1201) at 100 t/a, trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (CF1212) at 100 t/a, and N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl fluoride (CF1204) at 100 t/a. By-products include 20% ammonia water at 204.4 t/a, ammonium fluoride at 27.1 t/a, and 20% hydrochloric acid at 84.55 t/a. The construction period is scheduled from June 2026 to March 2027. Chempricehub Analysis of Fluorite, Bull-Bear Score: 1 This project produces fluorinated materials such as trifluoromethanesulfonamide and trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, with an annual capacity of 300 tons. It is expected to increase the demand for fluorite, as fluorite is the primary raw material for fluorine. The construction period begins in June 2026, and the anticipated rise in demand is likely to benefit the spot price of fluorite, driving prices upward. However, given the project's moderate scale and its pilot-phase nature, the impact is expected to be limited, resulting in a rating of "generally favorable."
