Nitrogen Trifluoride (NF3) market is expected to reach over USD 1.20 billion by 2020 owing to growing demand in electrical & electronics applications. NF3 is used as a cleansing agent for silicon wafers in solar energy appliances and semiconductors which are expected to drive demand over the forecast period. NF3 is considered a better cleansing agent in comparison to other agents such as perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride and hexafluroethane due to environmental effectiveness and eco friendly properties.
The Kyoto Protocol has listed NF3 as the second most global warming potential gas after SF6 and included it in the list for second commitment period after 2012. The acceptance of Kyoto Protocol by the U.S. and European nations is expected to be a major restraint for NF3 market growth over the forecast period. Major restraints for F2 market is high reactivity making it toxic for human beings in case of prolonged or direct exposure.
