Fine chemicals originally referred to chemical products with small output, high purity, and high price, such as medicines, dyes, coatings, etc. However, this meaning does not fully reveal the nature of fine chemicals. In recent years, experts from various countries have gained some new insights into the definition of fine chemicals. Some European countries call chemicals with small output and produced and sold according to different chemical structures fine chemicals; Products that have been processed and formulated to have specialized functions or end-use performance are called specialty chemicals. China, Japan, etc. collectively refer to these two types of products as fine chemicals.
2. Characteristics of fine chemicals
The research and application fields of fine chemicals are very broad, and its main characteristics are:
(1) Have specific functions and practical characteristics.
(2) High degree of technology intensity.
(3) Small batches and multiple varieties.
(4) The production process is complex, the equipment investment is large, and the demand for funds is large.
(5) It has the characteristics of strong practicality and commerciality, fierce market competition, high sales profit and high added value.
(6) The product cycle is short, the replacement is fast, and intermittent production processes are mostly used.
