January 16th News: On January 13th, Sichuan Zhongfuneng New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. plans to invest 150 million yuan to implement a high-purity electronic-grade gas expansion and technological transformation project in the Yongxing area of Ya'an Economic Development Zone. The project will expand production lines in phases, including an annual output of 13,000 tons of high-purity sulfur hexafluoride, 2,300 tons of nitrogen trifluoride, and 4,000 tons of ultra-pure ammonia, while co-producing hydrofluoric acid, industrial ammonia, and ammonia solutions. Chempricehub Analysis: Sulfur Hexafluoride, Bull-Bear Score: -1 The project's expansion of 13,000 tons of high-purity sulfur hexafluoride per year will increase market supply, potentially leading to an imbalance between supply and demand. Spot prices are expected to face downward pressure, indicating significant bearish factors. Nitrogen Trifluoride, Bull-Bear Score: -1 The increase in annual production capacity of 2,300 tons of nitrogen trifluoride will expand the supply of electronic-grade gases. It is anticipated that the spot market will experience oversupply, putting downward pressure on prices and reflecting a bearish impact. Ammonia, Bull-Bear Score: -1 Including ultra-pure ammonia and industrial ammonia, the project's additional 4,000-ton capacity and co-production supply will increase spot market inventory, potentially suppressing prices and reflecting a generally bearish influence. Hydrofluoric Acid, Bull-Bear Score: -1 As a by-product, the increased supply of hydrofluoric acid will exacerbate oversupply in the spot market. Spot prices may face downward pressure, indicating a clear bearish effect.
