2026-04-13
I. Foreword: Accelerated Domestic Substitution as Huayi Brothers Unveils New PFPE Product
Against the backdrop of intensifying global competition in the semiconductor industry, the domestic substitution of high‑end electronic fluorinated fluids has become critical to safeguarding the security of the industrial chain. Today, Shenzhen Huayi Brothers Technology Co., Ltd. ("Huayi Brothers") officially launched TUW‑HT110 perfluoropolyether (PFPE) thermal fluid independently developed in‑house. Positioned against the internationally leading brand Solvay Galden HT 110, this product achieves comparable performance across key indicators, providing a reliable domestic solution for semiconductor manufacturing, electronic equipment cooling, precision instrument temperature control, and other fields.
The launch of TUW‑HT110 marks a technological breakthrough for Huayi Brothers in the electronic fluorinated fluid sector, effectively easing supply pressures on domestic enterprises for high‑end PFPE materials and supporting the high‑quality development of China’s semiconductor industry.
II. Industry Background: Perfluoropolyether — An Indispensable "Temperature Control Cornerstone" for Semiconductor Manufacturing
Perfluoropolyether (PFPE) is a high‑performance synthetic fluoropolymer fluid. Its unique molecular structure — a perfluoroalkoxy chain — delivers exceptional chemical inertness, thermal stability, and excellent dielectric properties. In semiconductor manufacturing, the crown jewel of precision manufacturing, PFPE thermal fluid plays an irreplaceable role.
2.1 Core Challenges in Semiconductor Manufacturing
Modern semiconductor manufacturing processes impose extremely strict requirements on temperature control precision. For instance, in wafer etching, temperature fluctuations exceeding 0.1°C can result in scrapped wafers. In core processes such as photolithography, ion implantation, and chemical vapor deposition (CVD), PFPE thermal fluid serves as an ideal heat transfer medium, maintaining temperature control accuracy within ±0.1°C to ensure stability and yield in nanoscale manufacturing.
2.2 Irreplaceable Advantages of PFPE
Compared with conventional cooling media, PFPE offers distinct superiorities:
表格
| Properties | PFPE Thermal Fluid | Conventional Coolants |
|---|---|---|
| Dielectric Performance | Excellent electrical insulation (dielectric strength >30 kV) | Conductive, posing short‑circuit risks |
| Chemical Inertness | Outstanding resistance to acids, alkalis, and various chemicals | Requires corrosion inhibitors and prone to degradation over long‑term use |
| Temperature Range | Wide operating range (−100°C to 290°C) | Limited temperature applicability |
| Safety | Non‑flammable, non‑toxic, no flash point | Some products present fire and explosion hazards |
| Material Compatibility | Excellent compatibility with metals, plastics, and elastomers | May corrode sensitive materials |
2.3 Market Supply and Demand Landscape
For a long time, the high‑end PFPE market has been monopolized by European and American enterprises. International giants represented by Solvay have dominated the global semiconductor‑grade PFPE thermal fluid market with technological advantages and brand influence. In recent years, amid changing international trade dynamics and heightened awareness of supply chain security, end‑users have increasingly demanded domestic alternative products.
III. Technical Strengths: TUW‑HT110 vs. Solvay Galden HT 110
3.1 Performance Parity Enables Seamless Substitution
The R&D team at Huayi Brothers targeted international leading standards and, through in‑depth research and technical breakthroughs, successfully developed TUW‑HT110 with performance parameters highly consistent with Galden HT 110. Customers can directly apply TUW‑HT110 to existing equipment without process adjustment, effectively reducing switching costs.
3.2 Secure Supply Chain and Stable Delivery
Leveraging China’s complete fluorochemical industrial chain, Huayi Brothers has established a stable and reliable raw material supply system. Unlike imported products facing potential risks such as extended lead times and logistics disruptions, TUW‑HT110 provides shorter delivery cycles and more flexible customized services.
3.3 Localized Service with Rapid Response
Huayi Brothers maintains an experienced technical service team, offering full‑process professional support from product selection and process optimization to after‑sales assistance. The localized team ensures fast response and high‑quality service.
3.4 Optimized Costs and Outstanding Cost‑Effectiveness
While maintaining equivalent performance, TUW‑HT110 delivers more competitive pricing through optimized supply chain management and large‑scale production, effectively lowering users’ operating costs.
