As a new type of electronic cleaning agent, there is broad room for development in the electronic grade isopropyl alcohol (IPA) market.

Isopropyl alcohol, referred to as IPA, also known as 2-propanol, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C3H8O. It appears as a colorless and transparent liquid and smells like a mixture of ethanol and acetone. It is soluble in water, ethanol, ether, Most organic solvents such as benzene and chloroform. Isopropyl alcohol is an important type of fine chemical product that can be widely used in electronics, coatings, medicine, plastics, cosmetics and other fields. According to different uses, isopropyl alcohol can be divided into electronic grade isopropyl alcohol and industrial grade isopropyl alcohol.

Electronic grade isopropyl alcohol is a new type of electronic component cleaning agent that can be widely used in ultra-clean cleaning scenarios for precision electronic components such as chips, liquid crystals, batteries, and circuit boards. It is one of the important wet electronic chemicals in the semiconductor field. Compared with other electronic cleaning agents, electronic grade isopropyl alcohol has better solubility, environmental protection, and safety. It is suitable for hand washing, machine washing and other cleaning methods and achieves more efficient wafer and chip cleaning efficiency and better performance. With remarkable cleaning effect, it is a type of electronic cleaning agent with great development potential.

In the context of the rapid development of the integrated circuit industry, semiconductor line widths are getting smaller and smaller. In order to ensure the yield rate of chips while meeting the production requirements of narrow line width semiconductors, wet electronic chemicals for semiconductors are moving towards high purity and high performance. The direction continues to escalate. Electronic-grade isopropyl alcohol is a new type of cleaning agent that meets the upgrading requirements of the semiconductor material market, and its market demand is continuing to increase. In 2022, my country’s electronic-grade isopropyl alcohol market size will reach 1.12 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.4%.

According to the “2023-2028 Electronic Grade Isopropyl Alcohol Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that electronic-grade isopropyl alcohol has high requirements for purity, quality and other indicators during production, and the industry’s technical barriers are high. Since my country’s electronic-grade isopropyl alcohol industry started relatively late, foreign companies still occupy the majority of the market share, and the overall situation is a competitive situation between domestic and foreign companies.

The major players in my country’s electronic grade isopropyl alcohol market include ExxonMobil of the United States, Dow Chemical of the United States, LG Chemical of South Korea, Tokuyama of Japan, and other foreign companies, as well as Jiangsu Danol Technology, Zhejiang Jianye Microelectronics Materials, Yonghua Chemical Co., Ltd. Local companies such as Jiangyin Jianghua Microelectronic Materials, Suzhou Jingrui Chemical, and Jiangyin Runma Electronic Materials.

Industry analysts said that electronic-grade isopropyl alcohol is an important type of electronic cleaning agent and has the ability to dissolve It has the advantages of good sex, non-toxicity and good environmental protection, and has broad development prospects in the semiconductor field. Benefiting from the continuous development and upgrading of the domestic semiconductor industry, the market demand for electronic-grade isopropyl alcohol is continuing to grow. At the same time, driven by demand growth, the number of companies entering the electronic-grade isopropyl alcohol market in my country is continuing to increase, the process of domestic substitution in the market is accelerating, and the overall development trend of the industry is improving.
