I. Core Product Positioning and Technical Characteristics

6FDA is the core variety with the highest technical barrier and the widest application among fluorinated dianhydride monomers. The unique hexafluoroisopropyl group (–C(CF₃)₂–) in its molecular structure endows the product and its downstream derivative materials with excellent comprehensive performance. The core technical characteristics are as follows: stable purity ≥99.9%, melting point 235-240℃, moisture ≤0.1%, ash content ≤0.05%, chroma (APHA) ≤15, metal ion content ＜1ppm. It has the advantages of high temperature resistance (Td＞500℃), low dielectric constant (Dk＜3.0), extremely low water absorption (＜1.5%), strong corrosion resistance, and high light transmittance (visible light ＞92%). It is a key raw material for synthesizing high-performance fluorinated polyimide (FPI) and is widely used in the high-end material industry chain.

II. Core Applications

1. Semiconductor and Advanced Packaging Field

As a core intermediate of high-end semiconductor materials, the fluorinated polyimide synthesized from 6FDA has become the core choice for 5G/millimeter-wave chips and interconnection materials of advanced process chips due to its low dielectric, low water absorption and high temperature stability. Specific application scenarios include: PI precursor resins (photosensitive/non-photosensitive type) for wafer-level packaging (WLP), Chiplet, TSV (through-silicon via), chip passivation layer (Passivation), high-end substrate of flexible printed circuit (FPC), as well as semiconductor packaging adhesive and underfill. Its low dielectric property can effectively ensure the stability of high-frequency signals, and its extremely low water absorption can avoid delamination and failure during chip packaging, adapting to the demand of the semiconductor industry for upgrading to advanced processes.
