Summer's peak season is driving strong demand for cooling, boosting the fluorochemical industry chain. Prices for multiple generations of refrigerants continue to climb, while liquid cooling for computing power is creating long-term growth opportunities for the sector.
Juhua Group (SH: 600160) is a long-established, integrated leader in China's fluorochemical industry, with a complete production chain from upstream fluorspar and hydrofluoric acid to various refrigerants, fluororesins, and fluororubbers. It operates production lines for mainstream second and third-generation refrigerants and is a core supplier of refrigerants for inverter household air conditioners and commercial multi-split systems. With its own supporting hydrofluoric acid production facilities, the company can independently hedge against cost pressures from upstream raw material fluctuations, solidifying its scale and integration advantages. Beyond traditional refrigerants, it is expanding into electronic-grade fluorine-containing fine chemicals, serving downstream applications in home appliance manufacturing, cold chain logistics, and industrial new materials. The industry operates under rigid production quota controls, limiting supply growth. The company, leveraging its long-term stable downstream customer channels, can smoothly handle orders during the summer cooling peak. The chemical industry is inherently cyclical; factors such as fluctuations in upstream mineral purchase prices, adjustments to the phase-out schedules for fluorine-containing products in various overseas countries, and changes in domestic environmental and energy consumption regulations can all periodically impact the operating and shipment rhythms across its fluorochemical product lines.
The core operations of Baotou Steel (SH: 600010) are divided into two main lines: steel smelting/processing and rare earth mineral processing. It also produces fluorspar ore as a by-product. Fluorspar is an irreplaceable upstream mineral for the fluorochemical chain, essential for producing hydrofluoric acid and various refrigerants, thus creating a stable upstream-downstream linkage with the fluorochemical industry at the resource end. Its own mining system can consistently supply fluorspar, providing raw material security for downstream refrigerant and fine fluorochemical producers. The fluorspar-related business accounts for a relatively low proportion of total revenue, with the company's core operations still dominated by its steel and rare earth segments. Fluctuations in the fluorochemical industry's prosperity are unlikely to significantly impact the company's overall business fundamentals. The cyclical nature of the steel industry, fluctuations in downstream rare earth demand, tightening environmental approvals for mining, and overall commodity price volatility will continuously affect capacity utilization and operational stability across its different business segments.
Dongyangguang (SH: 600673) operates two core business segments in parallel: fluorochemical raw materials/refrigerant production lines and aluminum processing. The fluorochemical segment has complete self-production capacity for hydrofluoric acid and several mainstream third-generation refrigerants, allowing direct supply to downstream cooling end-customers like air conditioner manufacturers and cold chain maintenance service providers. Its highly self-sufficient upstream and downstream supporting production lines provide stronger cost-buffering capabilities during periods of rising raw material prices. Beyond traditional refrigerant business, the company is also extending into various fluorine-containing fine new materials, gradually entering the electronic chemicals application track to broaden the application boundaries of fluorine-based products. The refrigerant industry has distinct seasonal characteristics; high summer temperatures drive up demand for new equipment installation and maintenance, leading to periodic order increases, while off-season demand declines compress production schedules. Simultaneously, chemical production continuously faces external constraints such as energy consumption control, regular environmental inspections, and industry production quota adjustments, with these multiple external variables persistently impacting the stable operation of the fluorochemical segment.
Tinci Materials (SZ: 002709) focuses on lithium battery electrolyte and related main materials as its core business, while also developing various fluorine-containing fine additives and fluorine-based additive products. These belong to high-end segments of the fluorochemical industry but do not involve the production of civilian refrigerants like R32 or R134a, forming a differentiated layout from the traditional refrigerant track. Fluorine-based electrolyte additives are key auxiliary components in lithium battery electrolytes. Leveraging stable customer resources accumulated over years in the new energy sector, its related fluorochemical products can be continuously supplied in bulk to domestic and international power battery manufacturers, with strong customer loyalty. The fluorochemical-related business is not a core revenue pillar for the company, and sector fluctuations are difficult to transmit to its overall operations. The company's development pace is closely tied to the overall expansion of the power battery and energy storage industries. Adjustments in downstream battery manufacturers' production schedules, intensified competition from new electrolyte capacity additions, and changes in upstream basic chemical raw material procurement costs will continuously impact the operational status of its main business segments.
NHU (SZ: 002001) focuses on vitamin series products and nutritional fine chemicals as its core business, with supporting self-production capacity for fluorochemical intermediates like hydrofluoric acid. Part of the self-produced fluorine-containing raw materials is used internally for its fine chemical production lines, with the surplus sold externally. It operates in the midstream raw material supporting segment of the fluorochemical chain and has not established finished refrigerant production lines for cooling applications, thus unable to directly benefit from refrigerant price increases. Relying on long-term experience in fine chemical mass production, the company has mature chemical synthesis processes and complete supporting environmental treatment facilities, ensuring strong long-term operational stability for its raw material production lines. The revenue scale of the fluorine-based raw material supporting segment is relatively small, far less than its nutritional products main business. The cyclical ups and downs of the fluorochemical industry are unlikely to alter the company's overall operational structure. Periodic changes in global nutritional product supply and demand, competition from overseas peers, and the continuous tightening of energy consumption and environmental controls for chemical projects will persistently create uncertainty for the production and operation of its multiple business lines.
As a comprehensive chemical platform with a state-owned enterprise background, Haohua Technology (SH: 600378) operates both fluorochemical finished products and special electronic gases. Its subsidiaries have large-scale production capacity for several mainstream third-generation refrigerants, fully embedded in the refrigerant supply chain, while also supporting self-built upstream basic fluorine raw material facilities, resulting in a high degree of industrial chain integration. Beyond traditional air conditioning and cold chain refrigerants, the company also develops and produces fluorine-containing resins and special fluorine-containing fine chemicals, serving downstream applications in industrial manufacturing, the electronics industry, and cold chain equipment manufacturing. Leveraging its state-owned enterprise resource advantages, the company holds stable industry production quotas, allowing controllable capacity release timing, and has accumulated a large number of stable, long-term downstream customers. The chemical industry's inherent cyclical nature, fluctuations in upstream fluorspar and hydrofluoric acid purchase prices, adjustments to HFCs phase-out policies in various overseas countries, and changes in domestic energy consumption control and environmental regulation intensity will all continuously disturb the operating rhythm and operational status of its various fluorochemical product lines.
Yake Technology (SZ: 002409) focuses its main business on semiconductor electronic special gases and semiconductor supporting materials, developing several high-end fluorine-containing electronic chemicals.

Fluorine-containing electronic special gases are core consumables in wafer etching and thin-film deposition processes, with products supplied directly to semiconductor manufacturing plants, featuring significantly higher technical barriers than conventional refrigerants. The company continues to increase R&D investment, gradually achieving domestic substitution for several high-end fluorine-containing special gases and steadily entering the supply chains of mainstream domestic wafer manufacturers. Fluctuations in the traditional fluorochemical and refrigerant markets cannot be transmitted to its business operations. The company's growth pace is dictated by the expansion rhythm of the domestic semiconductor industry and the advancement speed of electronic chemical localization. Technological barriers from overseas special gas manufacturers, sustained high R&D investment, and cyclical downturns in the semiconductor industry will all constrain the company's business expansion speed.
Yunnan Germanium (SZ: 002428) focuses on germanium metal mining, processing, and semiconductor optoelectronic material manufacturing. Its main business track has no direct product intersection with the fluorochemical and refrigerant industries. It only procures small amounts of fluorine-based chemical auxiliaries as process aids during production and has no business of selling fluorochemical products externally. Therefore, the current round of rising refrigerant prices and overall fluorochemical sector prosperity cannot substantially drive its main business. Its various products are primarily applied in high-tech fields such as fiber optic communications, infrared optical components, and semiconductor chip materials, with operational prosperity entirely following changes in end-demand from the optoelectronics and semiconductor industries. Metal ore mining is constrained by resource reserves and extraction quotas, while fluctuations in downstream optoelectronic end-demand, iterative updates of new substitute materials, and the implementation of specific industry regulation policies will continuously alter capacity planning and operational levels across its business segments.
Capchem (SZ: 300037) focuses on lithium battery electrolyte and capacitor-specific chemicals as its core business, with supporting mass production of fluorine-containing electrolyte additives. This type of fluorine-based fine chemical belongs to a high-end segment of the fluorochemical industry and represents a separate product line from refrigerants; the company does not produce any finished refrigerant products. Fluorine-based electrolyte additives are key component materials for power battery electrolytes. Leveraging long-term technical expertise in the electrolyte field, its products offer stable and reliable purity and performance indicators, forming deep partnerships with several leading domestic and international power battery manufacturers, resulting in strong customer loyalty. The overall performance of the fluorochemical sector does not affect the company's core operational logic. Its total revenue scale is determined by the total installed capacity of new energy vehicles and the expansion pace of the energy storage industry. Cyclical expansion and contraction in power battery industry capacity, fluctuations in upstream chemical raw material procurement prices, and intensified price competition within the electrolyte industry will continuously introduce variables to the operations of its main business segments.
Yuntianhua (SH: 600096) focuses on fertilizers and phosphorus chemical products as its operational core, while also establishing basic fluorochemical raw material production lines like hydrofluoric acid. Leveraging advantages from its own phosphate mine supporting chemical facilities, it achieves large-scale production of basic fluorine raw materials, positioning itself at the upstream raw material supply end of the fluorochemical chain. It has not extended downstream into finished refrigerant manufacturing, only continuously supplying the core raw material hydrofluoric acid to downstream refrigerant producers. When downstream refrigerant companies enter their summer stocking cycle, raw material order volumes increase periodically. Large integrated chemical companies with diversified product lines see limited revenue contribution from a single fluorine raw material segment, which cannot independently determine the company's overall operational level. Fluctuations in the international fertilizer supply-demand cycle, controls on total phosphate rock extraction, implementation of environmental production restriction policies for chemical production, and cyclical shifts in commodity prices will act on the company's various business segments, leading to periodic operational adjustments.
Nanda Optoelectronics (SZ: 300346) focuses on semiconductor electronic special gases and key materials for photoresist, mass-producing several high-end fluorine-containing electronic special gases. This belongs to the high-end fine branch of the fluorochemical industry and has no business overlap with refrigerants used in air conditioning or cold chain. Fluorine-containing electronic special gases are indispensable specialized consumables in chip wafer etching and thin-film deposition processes, with products supplied directly to semiconductor manufacturing plants, featuring far higher technical barriers than conventional refrigerants. The company continuously invests in R&D to advance the domestic substitution of several high-end fluorine-containing special gases, gradually entering the supply chains of mainstream domestic wafer fabs in bulk, steadily achieving localization. Fluctuations in traditional refrigerant markets cannot be transmitted to its business operations. The company's development pace is dictated by the expansion progress of the domestic semiconductor industry and the advancement speed of electronic chemical localization. Technological monopolies by established overseas special gas manufacturers, sustained high R&D investment, and cyclical downturns in the semiconductor industry will continuously constrain the company's business expansion rhythm.
Do-Fluoride (SZ: 002407) is a diversified fluorochemical company, operating both lithium battery supporting fluorine-containing fine chemicals like lithium hexafluorophosphate and various specification refrigerants, spanning the new energy supporting materials and traditional cooling refrigerant segments. The refrigerant business directly supplies downstream customers in household air conditioning, cold chain transport, and vehicle cooling equipment, able to benefit from the release of summer cooling demand and supply-demand dynamics driven by industry quota controls. Its lithium battery fluoride products are simultaneously tied to the energy storage and new energy vehicle sectors, opening a second growth path. The company independently masters core fluorochemical synthesis processes with complete upstream and downstream support, enabling it to smooth out cyclical fluctuations in any single product line. Fluctuations in new energy industry installation volumes, the shipment rhythm of downstream home appliance manufacturers, changes in overseas import/export trade policies, and continuous upgrades in chemical environmental regulations will affect its two fluorine-based business segments to varying degrees.
China Chemical Engineering (SH: 601117) focuses on chemical engineering general contracting and chemical project construction as its core business. It does not produce physical chemical products like refrigerants or fluorochemical raw materials but undertakes a large number of engineering construction projects for new fluorochemical production lines and refrigerant capacity expansion/renovation facilities, forming a supporting association with the fluorochemical industry on the engineering services side. During periods of fluorochemical industry prosperity, downstream producers' willingness to expand capacity and upgrade technology increases, which in turn drives growth in the company's chemical engineering contract order volume. As an engineering service provider, its revenue scale heavily relies on the overall capital expenditure expansion rhythm of the chemical industry. Price fluctuations of physical fluorochemical products cannot directly change its profitability. Fluctuations in domestic chemical industry investment cycles, the approval and implementation progress of large chemical projects, volatility in construction material costs, and geopolitical changes in overseas project locations will continuously impact the scale of order intake and project implementation efficiency.
Xingfa Group (SH: 600141) leverages its own phosphate mine resource advantages to secure upstream mineral resources and extend a complete upstream fluorochemical industrial chain downstream, mass-producing the essential hydrofluoric acid raw material for refrigerants. It is also gradually expanding downstream into finished refrigerant and fluorine-containing fine chemical capacity, achieving a complete integrated layout from mining to chemicals. Its own mines can stably lock in raw material supply long-term, providing stronger cost-buffering space during periods of chemical raw material price volatility. It can both sell basic fluorine raw materials externally and use them internally to support downstream refrigerant production. During periods of concentrated release of downstream refrigerant demand in summer, the full upstream-downstream chain capacity can be scheduled to handle orders simultaneously. Cyclical fluctuations in the main phosphorus chemical business, adjustments to refrigerant industry production quotas, continuous tightening of environmental and energy consumption controls, and changes in overseas refrigerant export policies will all constrain the production and shipment scale of the fluorochemical segment.
Sanmei Co., Ltd. (SH: 603379) is a domestic professional refrigerant manufacturer, with core capacity concentrated on several mainstream third-generation refrigerant products. It also supports self-built hydrofluoric acid production facilities, anchoring itself in the mid-to-downstream finished product manufacturing segment of the fluorochemical industry, directly supplying air conditioner, cold chain equipment, and commercial multi-split system manufacturers. The industry operates under strict production quota controls, setting a clear upper limit on the company's capacity release scale and resulting in limited supply-side flexibility. It can adjust shipment节奏 flexibly according to downstream seasonal demand changes. The company has deep experience in overseas sales channels, with refrigerant products exported in bulk to multiple countries long-term, allowing overseas market demand to hedge against domestic seasonal demand fluctuations. Continuous increases in upstream fluorspar and hydrofluoric acid purchase prices, adjustments to HFCs phase-out schedules in various countries, and lower-than-expected shipments from downstream home appliance manufacturers will periodically alter the company's product profit margins and total shipment volume.
Shanshan Co., Ltd. (SH: 600884) focuses on lithium battery anode materials and branded apparel as its two core segments. It only has supporting production lines for a small amount of fluorine-based chemical auxiliary raw materials. The fluorochemical-related business is极小, not part of the core operations, and only has a weak intersection with the refrigerant industry chain on the procurement side of production auxiliaries. It does not produce any cooling refrigerant products. Prosperity in the fluorochemical industry cannot constitute a substantive benefit for its main business. Overall operational trends are entirely dictated by the lithium battery anode material industry cycle and consumer demand in the mass apparel market. Periodic overcapacity in the power battery supply chain, intensified price competition in the anode material industry, fluctuations in apparel consumer demand, and regular environmental inspections of chemical supporting production lines will affect the stable operation of its different business segments.
