1) Multiple varieties, strong specificity, and large span

There are various types and specifications of electronic chemicals, which can be divided into semiconductor materials, magnetic materials and intermediates, capacitor chemicals, battery chemicals, plastics for the electronic industry, coatings for the electronic industry, printing material chemicals, high-purity elemental materials, optoelectronic materials, alloy materials, corrosion inhibitors, insulation materials, special gases, rubber for the electronic industry, piezoelectric and acousto-optic crystal materials, liquid crystal materials There are more than ten major categories such as printed circuit board materials, each of which can be divided into several subcategories. According to incomplete statistics, there are over 20000 product varieties. Semiconductor materials can be divided into photoresists, packaging materials, high-purity chemical reagents used in integrated circuits and discrete device production processes; Battery chemicals can be classified into lithium-ion battery chemicals, alkaline manganese battery chemicals, fuel cell chemicals, nickel hydrogen battery chemicals, and other types based on battery materials.

Electronic chemicals are a comprehensive field that combines multiple disciplines such as chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, and electronic engineering. There are significant differences in material properties, production processes, functional principles, and application fields among various electronic chemicals, with a wide range of products. A single product has high specificity and a concentrated application field. For example, there are essential differences in production processes and applications between battery chemicals, alloy materials, piezoelectric and acoustooptic crystal materials.

2) High level of sub industry segmentation and high technical threshold

Due to the wide variety, span, and strong specificity of electronic chemicals, it is difficult for a single enterprise to master multiple cross domain knowledge reserves and process technologies, resulting in the formation of multiple sub industries internally. Unlike the upstream petrochemical and other basic chemical raw material industries, the electronic chemicals in the fine chemical industry are characterized by high market segmentation and high technical threshold. The high concentration ratio of market segments and the large market share of leading enterprises are common characteristics of the electronic chemicals industry.

3) Technology intensive, fast product updates

The Department of Electronic Chemicals is a comprehensive interdisciplinary field that requires enterprise R&D personnel and engineering technicians to have knowledge background and research capabilities in multiple disciplines and upstream and downstream industries, as well as a high technical threshold. Electronic chemicals are closely integrated with downstream industries. The rapid development of downstream industries such as new energy, information and communication, and consumer electronics is bound to require the continuous acceleration of electronic chemical updates, and the increasing pressure on enterprise technology research and development.

4) Strong functionality, high added value, and strict quality requirements

Electronic chemicals are the front-end of the "electronic chemicals components/components complete machine" industry chain, and their process level and product quality directly affect the function and properties of components/components, thereby affecting the performance of terminal complete machine products through industrial transmission. For example, the functional electrolyte has a critical impact on the capacitance, service life and working stability of Aluminium electrolytic capacitor, and the quality of the capacitor will directly affect the working quality and life of downstream household appliances, automobiles, information and communication equipment and other terminal products.

The upgrading and upgrading of components and even whole machine products depend on the technological innovation and progress of electronic chemicals. The necessity of electronic chemical functions determines the high added value and strict quality requirements of products. Downstream customers, especially brand customers, have very strict requirements for quality control of electronic chemicals. The certification process for qualified suppliers is complex, and after passing the certification, they usually establish long-term and stable cooperative relationships with their qualified suppliers.
