Liquid silica gel (liquid silica gel) is rich in variety and my country’s output continues to grow

​ ​ ​ Liquid silica gel, also known as liquid silica gel, refers to a flexible thermal solid material made of silica gel. Liquid silicone has the advantages of high temperature resistance, excellent electrical insulation properties, chemical resistance, high mechanical strength, good fluidity, safety and environmental protection. It is widely used in automobile manufacturing, toys, medical supplies, maternal and infant products, electronic components and other fields.

The upstream of the liquid silicone industry chain supplies raw materials, including cross-linking agents, vinyl silicone oil, silica, catalysts, basic glue, etc. In recent years, driven by positive factors such as sufficient supply of raw materials and increasing technological maturity, the development of my country’s liquid silicone industry has accelerated. In 2022, my country’s liquid silicone production will reach 106,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 29.6%. It is expected that in the future, as local companies continue to exert their efforts, my country’s liquid silicone production capacity will further expand and output will continue to grow.

The midstream of the liquid silicone industry chain is product manufacturing. There are many types of liquid silicone. According to different vulcanization temperatures, it can be divided into two types: room temperature vulcanization liquid silicone and high temperature vulcanization liquid silicone. According to different packaging forms, it can be divided into two-component liquid silicone and single-component liquid silicone; according to cross-linking According to different mechanisms, it can be divided into addition type liquid silica gel and condensation type liquid silica gel; according to different uses, it can be divided into sealant, mold silica gel, electronic silica gel, etc. Two-component liquid silica gel, also known as RTV-2 silica gel, is a representative product of liquid silica gel.

The downstream of the liquid silicone industry chain is in application areas, including automobile manufacturing, toys, medical supplies, maternal and infant products, electronic components, etc. In the field of automobile manufacturing, liquid silicone can be used to produce automobile spark plug protective covers, automobile ignition wires, automobile radiator hoses, etc.; in the field of medical supplies, liquid silicone can be used to produce medical respiratory masks, artificial heart valves, drainage tubes, etc. In recent years, with the growth of market demand, the development space of the liquid silicone industry has continued to expand. According to the “2023-2028 China Liquid Silicone (Liquid Silicone) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center ” shows that my country’s liquid silicone market size will reach 2.36 billion yuan in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 19.7%.

The main manufacturers of liquid silicone in my country include China Bluestar (Group) Co., Ltd., Chengdu Chenhua New Materials Co., Ltd., Dongguan Tianyu Silicone Technology Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Senri Silicone Materials Co., Ltd., Guangdong Polymer Technology Co., Ltd., etc. . In recent years, the independent research and development capabilities of Chinese enterprises have continued to improve, and product quality has taken a competitive advantage in the global market.

Industry analysts said that liquid silicone has excellent performance and is widely used in many fields. With the gradual release of downstream demand, the industry will develop further. accelerate. my country is a major producer of liquid silicone, and its product quality occupies a competitive advantage in the global market. In the future, as local companies continue to exert their efforts, the market share of high-performance liquid silicone in my country will further increase.
