The overall price of silane industry chain products has increased, and trimethoxysilane has ushered in new development opportunities.

Trimethoxysilane (English name: trimethoxysilane) has a molecular weight of 122.20. It is a colorless and transparent liquid with a slightly pungent and acidic smell. Its boiling point is 81°C. It is soluble in ethanol and ether, slightly soluble in toluene, and insoluble in water. Trimethoxysilane contains both alkoxy groups and active silicon-hydrogen bonds. It is very suitable for the preparation of many high-purity organic silicon compounds, such as modified silane sealants, anti-fogging agents, water-repellent agents, and silane coupling agents. Such as vinyl, epoxy and methacryloyloxy derivatives and coating materials. The silicon hydrogen bonding energy of trimethoxysilane can be hydrosilated with a series of enyne monomers under the catalysis of platinum to obtain various silicone coupling agents, polyethers, polyacrylate sealants and adhesives, etc. product. Among them, the most widely used fields are the synthesis of vinyltrimethoxysilane, γ-(2,3-glycidoxy)propyltrimethoxysilane, etc.

Although there are several trimethoxysilane production companies in China, and some of them are relatively large in scale, such as Hubei New Blue Sky New Materials Co., Ltd., companies with trimethoxysilane production capacity usually use it as raw materials for production. Downstream products with higher added value, less trimethoxysilane is sold, that is, companies in the trimethoxysilane industry generally produce for their own use and are more directly involved in market competition. Therefore, competition in China’s trimethoxysilane industry is relatively relaxed. Since the second half of 2020, the price of upstream chemical products, including silica powder, has increased, pushing the price of silane products throughout the entire industrial chain to rise. Trimethoxysilane manufacturers are actively producing and selling vinyltrimethoxysilane, γ-(2, Trimethoxysilane downstream products such as 3-glycidoxy)propyltrimethoxysilane have further reduced the scale of trimethoxysilane companies’ export products and weakened competition in the trimethoxysilane industry. The released “Trimethoxysilane Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report 2022-2026” shows that in 2021, China The output of trimethoxysilane exceeds 30,000 tons, but manufacturers sell less than half of the product.

As a raw material and intermediate, trimethoxysilane is mainly used in the production of silane coupling agents. Its market size and industry development are closely related to the development of the silane coupling agent industry. Analysts believe that in the future, with the development of surface treatment, glass fiber, rubber and other industries, the market demand for silane coupling agents will continues to grow, which in turn drives the development of the trimethoxysilane market and the expansion of the industry scale. In addition, the development of coatings, water repellents, sealants and other industries will also provide broad space for the development of the trimethoxysilane market and promote the healthy and sustainable development of the trimethoxysilane industry. Currently, the main factor hindering the market circulation of trimethoxysilane is the difficulty in ensuring transportation safety. In the future, with the development of the hazardous chemicals transportation industry and the advancement of packaging technology, the storage and transportation safety issues of trimethoxysilane will gradually be solved, thereby providing strong transportation guarantee for the external sales of the trimethoxysilane industry and promoting The specialized division of labor in the trimethoxysilane industrial system will provide more opportunities for companies that produce trimethoxysilane in a specialized and large-scale manner. Overall, the future development prospects of the trimethoxysilane industry are good.
