my country’s functional silane industry chain has matured and output is gradually increasing

The general chemical formula of functional silane is RnSiX(4-n), which contains two types of polar and non-polar functional groups. It can serve as an interface bridge between organic materials and inorganic materials or participate in the cross-linking reaction of organic polymer materials, playing a significant role. Improve material performance. With the gradual advancement of production technology, the types of functional silanes are gradually increasing and have various classification methods. According to different types of substituents, functional silanes can be roughly divided into aminosilane, sulfur-containing silanes, epoxy silanes, vinyl silanes, methacryloxysilane, etc.; according to different uses, functional silanes can be roughly divided into silane cross-linked silanes. coupling agents, silane coupling agents and other functional silanes.

At present, my country’s functional silane industry chain has matured. The upstream of the industrial chain is mainly the raw material industry, providing raw materials such as metallic silicon powder, propylene chloride, ethanol, allyl glycidyl ether, etc.; the midstream is mainly the functional silanes production industry, responsible for the production and manufacturing of different types of functional silanes; the downstream Mainly oriented to application fields, it is mostly used in rubber processing, construction waterproofing, adhesives, metal surface treatment, composite materials, coatings, plastic processing and other fields. Among them, rubber processing has become the largest market segment for functional silanes, with a market share of 33.8%; followed by composite materials, with a market share of 19.2%; and adhesives in third place, with a market share of 16.7%.

According to the “Functional Silane Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center, recently In recent years, my country’s economic level has gradually improved, and the automotive, electric power, medical, chemical and other markets have developed rapidly, and the demand for rubber products has gradually increased. Against this background, the scale of my country’s rubber products market has gradually increased. In 2022, my country’s rubber products market size will be 838.79 billion yuan. As the upstream industry of rubber products, the market demand for functional silanes has gradually increased. Coupled with the continuous advancement of production technology of functional silanes in my country, its output has gradually increased. In 2022, my country’s functional silanes production will be 376,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 10.3%.

Industry analysts said that my country’s functional silanes market is highly concentrated and the leading effect of enterprises is obvious. The main foreign functional silane companies include Dow Corning, Momentive High-Tech, Evonik, Shin-Etsu Chemical, Wacker, Dow Chemical, etc. The domestic large-scale functional silane companies mainly include Jianghan New Materials, New Blue Sky New Materials, and Hongbai New Materials. Materials, Chenguang New Materials, Jianghan Refining Chemicals, Huarong Chemical, Xinte Energy, Silicon New Materials, Shuguang Siliconization, etc. Among them, Hongbai New Materials and Chenguang New Materials have a relatively high market share and have become leading companies in the industry. In the early days, due to the relatively backward production technology of functional silanes in my country, most of the market was dominated by foreign companies. With the gradual rise of functional silane companies in my country, independent research and development capabilities are gradually improved, the gap between production technology and international advanced technology is gradually narrowed, market competitiveness is gradually enhanced, and domestic substitution is basically realized.
