Trichlorosilane Competitive Industry
As a result, the production of polysilicon capacity in many places in the first half of 2022 boosted the demand for trichlorosilane in the short term, and then pushed up the price. The commercialization of cold hydrogenation technology has greatly reduced the raw material cost of polysilicon. Trichlorosilane accounts for about 27% of the production cost of polysilicon. Cold hydrogenation technology is to convert silicon tetrachloride into trichlorosilane under low temperature and high pressure, so that trichlorosilane can be recycled in the system.
Trichlorosilane is a higher degree of marketization, competition is more adequate industry. The price of industrial products is easily affected by upstream raw materials and downstream demand.
Trichlorosilane production raw materials are mainly industrial silica powder and liquid chlorine, if the raw material prices rise sharply, it profits will be under pressure. The price fluctuation of trichlorosilane has little effect on the profits of polysilicon enterprises. Even if the price is temporarily low, polysilicon prices still have upward momentum.
