Abstract
The objective of this chapter is to provide a broad picture of the organofluorine chemicals industry in Western Europe as seen at the beginning of the 1990s. Commercialization worldwide of organofluorine chemistry has been driven by the demand for “speciality” and “effect” chemicals, and continues to be so. Although a surprisingly high proportion of the global effort devoted to the development of organofluorine chemistry has been expended in Western Europe, the U.S. and Japan feature more strongly in the commercial exploitation of the area. For convenience here, organofluorine products have been divided into three categories, namely, fluoroaliphatics, fluoroaromatics, and fluoropolymers.
