Daikin (Fluoropolymers & Etch Gases)
Fluorochemicals, etch/cleaning gases, PFAS risk
Daikin is a top global supplier of fluoropolymers and fluorinated specialty/etch gases essential to semiconductor etch, cleaning, and coatings, alongside its HVAC/cooling business relevant to datacenters. Tightening PFAS ('forever chemical') regulation in the EU threatens the availability of fluorinated process chemicals across the entire fab supply chain — a regulatory chokepoint generic maps ignore.
