News	July 28, 2021 - BASF SE, Zhejiang Jiahua Energy Chemical Industry Co. Ltd and its fully-owned subsidiary Zhejiang Jiafu New Material Technology Co. Ltd announced its plans to expand the production capacity of electronic-grade sulfuric acid in Jiaxing, China. The site expansion is expected to be completed by the end of 2023. Such expansion plans are expected to drive the growth of the global ultra-pure sulfuric acid market during the forecast period. BASF, Zhejiang Jiahua Energy Chemical Industry Co. Ltd. (“Jiahua”) and its fully-owned subsidiary Zhejiang Jiafu New Material Technology Co. Ltd (“Jiafu”) signed an agreement to further expand the production capacity of electronic-grade sulfuric acid in Jiaxing, China. This double-digit million-euro investment will more than double the company’s existing sulfuric acid production capacity in China to serve the country’s fast-growing semiconductor industry. The site expansion is planned to be completed by 2023. BASF will begin the construction of its third electronic-grade sulfuric acid (H2SO4 EG) production facility in Zhapu in 2021. Jiahua and Jiafu will provide key raw materials to this new plant. The new construction will add extra capacity to the existing sulfuric acid facilities in operations since 2017, and it will be equipped with best-in-class sulfuric acid technology, which is proven for advanced node semiconductor production. The intricate architecture of the production process, along with the quality management expertise implemented in the Jiaxing plant, are achieved through BASF’s comprehensive global network of R&D and production expertise.This investment will boost BASF’s capabilities to serve increasing demand from the Chinese electronic materials market and provide reliable supply to customers.“This significant investment in Jiaxing marks a key milestone for our rapid development and the growth of BASF’s electronic materials business in China,” said Jens Liebermann, Vice President, Global Semiconductor Business Electronic Materials. “It demonstrates our strong commitment to serve our customers with locally-produced sulfuric acid of best-in-class quality, consistency and reliability. Expanding together with our trusted partners Jiahua and Jiafu is the logical next step to build on our successful partnership to accelerate our growth in China. With the development of the electronic materials market in China, this move is a strategic one to, in the long term, secure the supply and growth of our local and international customer bases in China. Electronic-grade sulfuric acid is one of BASF’s key technologies serving the semiconductor industry.”“We have seen increasing demand from the rapidly growing electronic materials market in China,” said Dr. Zheng Daqing, Senior Vice President, Business and Market Development Greater China, BASF. “Given the strong momentum in the market, building a third sulfuric acid production plant in Jiaxing is a key step in our roadmap to maintain our strong foothold in China and to consolidate BASF’s strategic position as the supplier of choice.” May 30, 2018 - The German chemical company (BASF) has started operations at a new electronic-grade sulfuric acid (H2SO4) plant in Jiaxing, China, to serve the country’s growing semiconductor manufacturing industry. Driven by strong demand from customers, the plant has simultaneously started its expansion phase to double the production capacity before the completion of the facility. The expansion phase is expected to be operational by the end of the year, the company states in a press release. “The new electronic-grade sulfuric acid plant in China is another step forward in our continued growth and expansion in China’s electronics market,” said Boris Jenniches, Vice President of Business Management at BASF Electronic Materials Asia Pacific. “China has already become one of the largest semiconductor markets in the world and is continuing to grow. We are excited to be a part of this momentum and will remain committed to getting closer to our customers and providing them with fast-track ramp-up of chemical solutions, reliable supply, and consistent quality.” Located at the seaport town of Zhapu, Zhejiang Province, southwest of Shanghai, the new plant is equipped with the latest technology to produce the highest-quality sulfuric acid. This will primarily be used during hundreds of cleaning cycles that semiconductor wafers go through in the making of microchips designed in single-digit nodes measuring less than 10 nanometers. It houses quality analysis equipment, and an analytics lab with a dedicated cleanroom, to accommodate the future needs of electronics customers in China.
