lithium hexafluorophosphate "soared to the sky"

How popular are lithium hexafluorophosphate and PVDF as popular chemicals that have greatly increased the performance of many fluorine chemical enterprises?

Lithium hexafluorophosphate is the lithium salt of electrolyte commonly used by lithium battery manufacturers at present, which is called the "blood" of lithium battery. 1 ton of lithium hexafluorophosphate is required for every 8 tons of electrolyte. According to the report of in-depth analysis and investment development trend prediction report of China's lithium hexafluorophosphate industry from 2019 to 2025 issued by China Research Institute Puhua Research Institute, the demand for electrolyte solute of lithium battery is expected to increase by 70% in 2022, and the demand momentum of lithium hexafluorophosphate will remain strong.

According to Baichuan information monitoring, on January 21, the average price of lithium hexafluorophosphate in China was 560000 yuan / ton, an increase of more than 350% in the past year. The production capacity utilization rate of various production enterprises was high, the inventory was low, and the market was in short supply.

The Research Report of securities companies generally believes that under the condition of continuous and large-scale demand in the industry in the future, it is expected that the supply-demand relationship of lithium hexafluorophosphate will continue to be tight, and the product price will continue to operate at a high level

Because of the strong market demand, many fluorine chemical enterprises are actively expanding production.

For example, the leading enterprise Do-Fluoride New Materials Co.Ltd(002407) of lithium hexafluorophosphate said during the investigation of institutional investors that the company's total capacity of lithium hexafluorophosphate products had reached 20000 tons by the end of 2021; It is estimated that 13000-14000 tons will be shipped in 2021. According to the company's production expansion plan, it is planned to add 40000 tons of capacity by the end of 2022, and the annual production and sales volume is planned to reach 30000-35000 tons. After 2023, new capacity will be released according to market demand

Guangdong Tonze Electric Co.Ltd(002759) according to the investor interaction platform, the company's new 10000 ton lithium hexafluorophosphate project is planned to be put into trial production in the second quarter of 2022. At present, the project construction is stepping up, and some equipment has been installed and commissioned.

more new capacity on the road

Fluorine containing new materials extending downward from the refrigerant industry chain are another highlight of the fluorine chemical industry in 2021, among which PVDF, the cathode binder of lithium battery, has attracted much attention.

As one of the indispensable key materials in the lithium battery industry chain, PVDF combined with NMP solvent as cathode binder in lithium battery can directly affect the electrochemical stability, energy density, power and safety of the battery, and there is no substitute in the short term.

With the rapid increase of new energy vehicles, energy storage and the proportion of lithium iron phosphate batteries, the demand for PVDF is increasing rapidly. The agency estimates that from 2021 to 2022, the demand for lithium grade PVDF will reach 15000 tons and 24000 tons respectively, with a compound annual growth rate of more than 50%. Demand increased, but the production capacity of PVDF could not be increased rapidly. At present, there are only more than 10 PVDF manufacturers in China, with a total capacity of about 90000 tons / year. However, due to the difficulty of production technology, the total output of PVDF that can be used as lithium battery binder is low.

According to the monitoring of Baichuan Yingfu, the average price of lithium grade PVDF in China has reached 445000 yuan / ton, with the highest increase of more than 600% since the beginning of 2021. Among them, R142b is its core intermediate raw material. At present, the price of R142b has increased several times, and the price has soared from 20000 yuan per ton in early 2021 to nearly 190000 yuan.

Due to the tight supply in the market, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co.Limited(300750) and other battery manufacturers have personally grabbed raw materials. On December 12, 2021, Lecron Industrial Development Group Co.Ltd(300343) announced that the company had signed a cooperation framework agreement with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co.Limited(300750) and agreed to purchase lithium battery grade PVDF and R142b products from the company within the validity of the agreement.
