Methyltrichlorosilane (MTS) market demand is growing and green environmental protection is the mainstream trend in industry development

Methyltrichlorosilane (MTS), also known as trichloromethylsilane, has a chemical formula of CH3Cl3Si and is an organic compound. Methyltrichlorosilane appears as a colorless or light yellow transparent liquid with a pungent odor and is soluble in ether and benzene. Methyltrichlorosilane has active chemical properties and is flammable and deliquescent. It can be used in the production of silicone products, special coatings, synthetic resins, cross-linking agents, etc. as its downstream fields.

my country is a major producer of methyltrichlorosilane. Driven by technological innovation, my country’s methyltrichlorosilane industry is gradually developing in a green and environmentally friendly direction. The direct synthesis method is a traditional preparation method for methyltrichlorosilane. This method uses silicon powder and methyl chloride as raw materials, adds a cuprous chloride catalyst, reacts to synthesize a methylchlorosilane mixture, and then proceeds through distillation, purification and other processes to obtain it. Methyltrichlorosilane. The direct synthesis method has problems such as many by-products, high production costs, and easy environmental pollution. It is gradually being replaced by emerging green preparation methods such as gas phase synthesis and liquid phase synthesis.

According to the “2023-2028 China Methyltrichlorosilane (MTS) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report span>》shows that methyltrichlorosilane is an organic silicone raw material and is widely used in many fields. my country is the world’s major consumer of organic silicon. In 2022, the size of my country’s organic silicon market will reach 41.26 billion yuan. As the prosperity of the organic silicon industry increases, the market demand for methyltrichlorosilane is increasingly strong. At present, high-purity methyltrichlorosilane is the mainstream product in my country’s methyltrichlorosilane market, accounting for nearly 60% of the market.

The global methyltrichlorosilane market is mainly concentrated in the Asia-Pacific region and European and American countries, with the Asia-Pacific region accounting for nearly 70% of the market. Major global manufacturers of methyltrichlorosilane include Shin-Etsu Chemical of Japan, Dow Chemical Company of the United States (DOW), Momentive High-Tech Materials Co., Ltd. of the United States, and Rhodia Group of France ( Rhodia) etc.

my country is one of the main producing countries of methyltrichlorosilane. The production companies include Hesheng Silicon Industry Co., Ltd., China Bluestar (Group) Co., Ltd., Hubei Xingfa Chemical Group Co., Ltd., Tangshan Sanyou Silicon Industry Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Xin’an Chemical Industry Group Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Zhongtian Dongfang New Materials Co., Ltd., etc. Hesheng Silicon Industry is my country’s leading methyltrichlorosilane company. According to its corporate annual report, the company will achieve revenue of 23.66 billion yuan in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 10.6%.

Industry analysts said that as the development of the organic silicon industry accelerates, the market demand for methyltrichlorosilane continues to grow. Driven by positive factors such as the improvement of the technological innovation level of local enterprises, my country’s methyltrichlorosilane industry is gradually developing in a green and environmentally friendly direction. At present, the Asia-Pacific region dominates the global methyltrichlorosilane market. Chinese companies have large-scale production capabilities of high-purity methyltrichlorosilane, and their production technology and product quality rank among the world’s leaders.
