Kangfeng Organic Fluorine Chemical Factory
Dongyang Kangfeng Organic Fluorine Chemicals Plant was established
in 1995, it’s a key enterprise for production and
development of organic fluorine series products, which is
one of the hundred tax-payers in Dongyang City. Now, the
plant has a fixed asset of more than USD 500 million, a
working staff of 81 persons including 18 researchers, and
contains more than 20,000 square meters, and has established
a good cooperation with some chemical research institutes
all over the world.
Our plant is located in Xueshi Zai Industrial Zone of Huailu
Dongyang city, which is in the middle

ore. We have a strong technology research group,
advanced production technicals and first class production
equipments, a perfect quality control system and advantageous
location. We have established a set of environmental protection
system. At present, our annual production
of benzotrifluoride, p-chlorobenzotrifluoride and their
series products are over 10,000 tons including Herbicides-Trifluralin
and Benefin technical with 4,000 tons 1,000 tons
respectively. They are of good quality and are mainly sold
abroad.
We are sticking to the principle of leading by science and
technology, depending on products' good quality and developing
on good credit and keep our efforts in deep development
