- Hubei Sinophorus Electronic Materials Co. Ltd. is a China-based specialty chemical manufacturing company engaged in the research, development, production, and distribution of ultra-high-purity wet electronic chemicals and electronic materials primarily for the semiconductor, flat panel display, and solar photovoltaic industries. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Yichang, Hubei Province, the company operates as a controlled subsidiary of Hubei Xingfa Chemicals Group Co., Ltd. and trades on the Science and Technology Innovation Board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange under the ticker 688545. The company categorizes its commercial offerings into two core product segments: general wet electronic chemicals and functional wet electronic chemicals. Its general wet electronic chemicals portfolio comprises ultra-high-purity electronic-grade phosphoric acid, electronic-grade sulfuric acid, electronic-grade hydrogen peroxide, electronic-grade nitric acid, and electronic-grade ammonia water, manufactured up to SEMI G3 through G5 international grade standards for advanced integrated circuit fabrication. Its functional wet electronic chemicals portfolio consists of formulated chemical solutions, including silicon, oxide, and metal etching solutions; advanced post-etch and wafer cleaning agents; photoresist strippers; developer solutions; and chemical recycling and regeneration agents tailored for 8-inch and 12-inch wafer processing down to sub-7-nanometer nodes as well as thin-film transistor liquid crystal display and organic light-emitting diode panel manufacturing. In addition to liquid chemicals, the company manufactures and develops electronic specialty gases, including electronic-grade ammonia and ultra-high-purity phosphine. The company distributes its products domestically across mainland China and exports to international markets throughout the Asia-Pacific region, supplying major semiconductor foundries and electronics manufacturers such as Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation, CSOT, Innolux, Sharp, and SK Hynix. In recent developments, Hubei Sinophorus completed its initial public offering on the Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market in January 2025 to finance advanced manufacturing and research facilities. To expand its geographic footprint and strengthen regional supply security, the company initiated the construction of a 40,000-metric-ton-per-year ultra-pure electronic chemical facility in Shanghai to directly supply tier-one wafer fabrication hubs in the Yangtze River Delta. Concurrently, the company advanced substantial production expansions at its primary manufacturing bases, including the development of a 40,000-metric-ton electronic-grade phosphoric acid expansion in Yichang, a 20,000-metric-ton electronic ammonia water and 10,000-metric-ton electronic ammonia gas co-production project, and a 35-metric-ton ultra-high-purity phosphine facility, solidifying its upstream integration across the phosphorus chemical supply chain.
