The representatives attending the meeting all expressed that they would take advantage of the geographical location, adhere to the correct path while innovating, unite and support each other, and jointly promote the coordinated development of the electronic chemicals industry in Henan Province.

Henan has achieved a breakthrough in electronic chemicals
The electronic chemicals industry in Henan Province enjoys advantages such as leading technology, rich projects, cluster effect and great development potential. Professor Li Songjie from the School of Chemical Engineering of Zhengzhou University stated that after recent years of development, electronic chemicals in Henan Province have made new progress and breakthroughs. The electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid of Duofu New Materials Co., Ltd. has surpassed the UP-SSS grade, and its production and sales volume of lithium hexafluorophosphate ranks first in the world. Puyang Xinmaiqi Materials Co., Ltd. has the largest production scale of N-methylpyrrolidone in Asia and the second largest in the world. The production capacity of electronic packaging materials of Puyang Huicheng Electronics Co., Ltd. ranks second in the world. Luoyang Zhonggui High-tech Co., Ltd. leads the domestic market in silicon-based electronic chemicals and has achieved a series of breakthroughs. Products such as high-purity electronic-grade polycrystalline silicon and high-purity silicon tetrachloride have been put into mass production.
Su Dong, executive vice president of the Henan Petrochemical Industry Association, said that the electronic chemicals industry chain in the province is the most active in the development of Henan's "7+28+N" industry chains, and a number of leading enterprises have driven the development of the industry. From its inception to growth, this industry has achieved remarkable results in terms of process technology and product quality, playing a promoting role in the development of the electronic chemicals industry in Henan Province.
In Li Songjie's view, although the electronic chemicals industry in Henan Province has many advantages,
But there are also some problems. The first is the insufficiency of innovation capacity. Due to the relatively weak capacity of industry-university-research cooperation, the technological innovation capacity and overall level of the electronic chemicals industry remain relatively low, resulting in insufficient integration of characteristic electronic chemicals and the electronic information industry. Second, the leading enterprises are small in scale, have short industrial chains, lack downstream products, have low added value of products, and have a low market share of their dominant products.
There are industry challenges in the field of electronic chemical testing, such as high sampling risks, sampling disrupting reaction conditions, lagging offline testing results, and small amounts of offline monitoring data. Li Songjie said.
Representatives from Henan Silane Technology Development Co., Ltd. and other enterprises have reflected that electronic chemical enterprises are facing production bottlenecks, operation bottlenecks and ecological bottlenecks to varying degrees.
Overcome difficulties and make up for shortcomings
In response to the issue of small scale of leading enterprises, Li Songjie stated that relevant government departments and industry associations should guide the exchanges and research and development between electronic chemical enterprises within the province and higher education institutions as well as scientific and technological innovation platforms, enhance the ability to convert independent research and development achievements, and establish a professional electronic chemical supporting system integrating scientific research, production and intelligent control. At the same time, efforts should be made to enhance the scale and standardization of leading enterprises, extend and supplement the industrial chain, and introduce projects in a targeted manner to promote the transformation of the electronic chemicals industry from basic chemicals to fine chemicals, and facilitate the high-quality development of the industry.
In terms of the industrial chain, it is necessary to establish a coordinated innovation industrial alliance. Through resource sharing, complementary advantages and win-win cooperation, the close ties among enterprises, research institutions, universities and other entities in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain should be strengthened to form an innovation consortium and jointly promote technological progress and industrial development. In terms of testing and verification, a public analysis and testing platform should be established to enhance testing capabilities, improve the evaluation system, support the smooth connection of the complete process of high-purity electronic chemicals from "performance - preparation - application", and provide comprehensive solutions including performance analysis and testing as well as product application.
"Nowadays, it is not the era of resource allocation but the era of resource coordination." " In response to the high technical threshold, independent operation of enterprises, and high transportation costs in the electronic chemicals industry, Professor Wang Zhiwu, director of the Modern Analysis and Gene Sequencing Center at Zhengzhou University, stated that it is necessary to pool the advantages of all levels including the government, associations, and universities, establish a coordination mechanism covering the entire province, expand application scenarios, and achieve coordinated development.
Seize the opportunities for future industrial development
In January 2023, Henan Province issued documents such as the "Implementation Plan for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Transformation in Key Areas of Henan Province from 2023 to 2024", clearly defining the requirements for energy conservation and carbon reduction transformation in key industries such as chemical engineering and power, providing policy support for the green development of the electronic chemicals industry in Henan.
Li Zhengxin, a former researcher at the Development Research Center of the Henan Provincial Government and a senior advisor to the Henan Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association, said that Henan's electronic chemical enterprises should take advantage of Henan's unique geographical advantages and special geographical conditions, seize the opportunities presented by the convenience of location, transportation, logistics and supply chain, as well as the rapid development of new energy vehicles, unite for mutual support, adhere to the right path while innovating, In terms of technology, variety and quality, it is necessary to go on-chain to achieve effective supply of technology, avoid vicious competition, and gradually form a cooperative mechanism of monopoly and sharing of technology, price and resources.
Su Dong believes that with the rise of the industrial economy in the central region, especially the incremental development of new energy vehicles in Henan, it has brought new development opportunities to the electronic chemicals industry. The electronic chemicals industry in Henan should seize this opportunity to drive the coordinated development of electronic chemicals and other fields.
How can higher education institutions cultivate urgently needed talents for the electronic chemicals industry? The government should join hands with universities and research institutes to cultivate talents. Encourage and support enterprises to introduce talents with policies; Establish an efficient talent cultivation system for industrial electronic chemicals to deeply integrate industry, academia and research. Li Songjie said.
Zhu Bing, the dean of the School of Chemical Engineering at Henan University of Applied Technology, said that the school should leverage its professional advantages in fine chemicals and analytical testing technology to provide qualified talents for enterprises and serve electronic chemical enterprises within the province.
The representatives attending the meeting put forward opinions and suggestions on the future development prospects of the electronic chemicals industry in Henan Province.
Henan Electronic Specialty Gas has advantages. Enterprises should enhance communication, accurately position themselves, internally coordinate, follow the path of scale and high-end development, and take advantage of the policies of the park to grow stronger and larger. Ren Zhangshun of Luoyang Haohua Gas Co., Ltd. said.
Representatives from enterprises such as Duofu New Materials Co., LTD., Xinlianxin Cryogenic Energy Co., LTD., Xinmaiqi Materials Co., LTD., Puyang Huicheng Electronic Materials Co., LTD., and Henan Energy Group suggested that services be provided in aspects such as project consultation, market direction, and product matching to achieve resource sharing and complementary advantages, and avoid product backwardness and excess. Industry associations and leading enterprises should assist small and medium-sized enterprises in building testing platforms. Meanwhile, it is suggested to enhance communication and cooperation with government departments, open up green channels, reduce related procedures, and strive for more policy support and preferential policies for enterprises to promote the development of the electronic chemicals industry in Henan.
"2025 marks the final year of the 14th Five-Year Plan and is also a year of vigorous development for China's semiconductor and information technology industries. The electronic chemicals industry is bound to embrace numerous development opportunities." " An Lin, deputy secretary-general of the Henan Petrochemical Industry Association, said that the Henan Electronic Chemicals Specialized Committee should enhance exchanges and cooperation with domestic and foreign counterparts, provide platform support and guarantee for the industry to continuously seek new breakthroughs and development, constantly improve the industrial chain and supply chain of electronic chemicals in Henan, and promote the rich development of the electronic chemicals industrial cluster in Henan.
