Chemours (NYSE: CC), a global chemical company with market leadership in the titanium dioxide technology, fluorine products and specialty chemicals industries, was announced today at Chinaplas China Fluoropolymer technology used to support 5G ecological networks. As the world's leading plastics and rubber exhibition, Chinaplas is recognized as one of the most influential exhibitions in the industry.
Every day, smart devices are connecting the world like never before. By 2020, the number of connected devices for the Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to exceed 50 billion. This major advancement in IoT technology places higher requirements on big data, communication speeds and reliable connections. The fifth generation of mobile communication technology (ie 5G networks) will provide infrastructure support for this.
As designers and manufacturers continue to introduce new electronic devices, the importance of 5G networks will increase. With high-performance fluoropolymers, manufacturers will develop microprocessors, semiconductors, and transistors that run faster, are smaller, and perform better, thereby driving the development of 5G networks.
Teflon ™ fluoropolymers and Viton ™ fluoroelastomers have played a vital role in driving this development. Whether it is computer cables, smart devices, or wearables, Chemours Teflon ™ fluoropolymers and Viton ™ fluoroelastomers can provide customers with innovative and customized solutions to meet the performance and safety requirements of consumer electronics.
Teflon ™ fluoropolymer resin improves the electrical performance of cable insulation and jackets and provides them with unmatched fire safety. These characteristics are critical for local area networks (LANs), data centers, and other high-performance telecommunications applications cabling systems, such as high-speed cables.
In addition, Teflon ™ fluoropolymers also play an important role in semiconductor manufacturing processes. 5G is affecting the development of the semiconductor industry and changing the needs of the industry. In the 5G era, printed circuit boards (PCBs) will be highly dependent on high-performance fluoropolymer materials. Fluoropolymers have excellent dielectric properties and low loss factors, and can provide ultra-high-frequency and high-speed performance for data centers, signal transmission towers, and personal electronic equipment.
Today, electronic devices such as smart watches and activity trackers are increasingly designed to be wearable, and Chemours fluoropolymers can improve the comfort and convenience of these devices. With a comfortable touch and proven biocompatibility, the use of Viton ™ fluoroelastomer multicolor solutions in wearable devices is widely recognized in the wristband market. In addition, the elastomer material has excellent chemical inertness, resistance to UV aging, and corrosion resistance. By providing flexible custom color matching, Chemours continues to innovate on Viton ™ fluoroelastomers to meet consumers' ever-increasing product quality requirements and fashion preferences.
With the rapid development of communication technology and 5G networks, the market demand for semiconductor miniaturization, faster communication speeds, higher frequencies, and low-loss signals will increasingly rely on fluoropolymers to achieve it.
"In the past 80 years, Chemours' fluoropolymer business has met the highly complex and ever-changing needs of its customers with industry-leading solutions. Today, we are pleased to provide the same support for the implementation and popularity of 5G networks. Paul Koch, global president of the fluorine products business, said.
