Anupam Rasayan India has announced the commercialisation of
ETFA (Ethyl trifluoroacetate) production through its proprietary
process-by-design continuous flow chemistry platform.
ETFA is a critical fluorinated building block and reagent
used in the synthesis of a wide range of organic fluorine compounds. These compounds
are widely used in life sciences, pharmaceuticals and performance materials,
where fluorine chemistry plays a vital role in enhancing product performance,
efficacy and stability. The global addressable market for ETFA is estimated at
approximately USD 500–600 million, underscoring its strategic importance within
the specialty chemicals value chain.
The achievement positions Anupam Rasayan India Limited as
the first company globally to manufacture ETFA at commercial scale using flow
technology. Compared with conventional batch processes, the continuous flow
platform offers significant advantages, including enhanced process safety,
superior reproducibility, improved scalability, higher operational efficiency
and a lower environmental footprint.
Anand Desai, Managing
Director, Anupam Rasayan, said, “The successful commercialisation of ETFA
through our continuous flow chemistry platform represents a significant
milestone in Anupam Rasayan’s innovation journey. This achievement not only
demonstrates our technological capabilities in complex fluorination chemistry
but also highlights our ability to develop and scale differentiated
manufacturing solutions that address evolving customer requirements.
“Innovation remains at the core of our growth
strategy. We will continue to invest in cutting-edge process technologies,
research capabilities and sustainable manufacturing practices to create
long-term value for our customers, stakeholders and the industry at large," he
