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.
