Methyldichlorosilane industry has huge room for development, and the competitiveness of local companies continues to improve

Methyldichlorosilane, also known as dichloromethylsilane, has a chemical formula of CH4Cl2Si and is an organic compound. Methyldichlorosilane appears as a colorless liquid with a pungent odor and is easily soluble in water, heptane, ether and benzene. As one of the organic chemical raw materials, methyldichlorosilane is easily deliquescent and flammable. It is widely used in fields such as waterproofing agents, fabric treatment, and hydrogenated silicone oils.

The preparation of methyldichlorosilane usually uses copper as a catalyst to allow solid phase reaction between silicon powder and methyl chloride to finally produce the finished product. The main raw materials include copper, silicon powder, methyl chloride, etc. Methyl chloride, also known as methyl chloride and methyl chloride, is widely used in the production of tetramethyl lead, methyl chlorosilane, methyl cellulose and other products. Its main preparation methods include methanol chlorination and oxychlorination. , photochlorination method and methane chlorination method, etc. As a bulk chlorine-based product, methyl chloride has strong market demand, driving its rapid expansion of production capacity and continued growth in output. Benefiting from the sufficient supply of raw materials, the development speed of my country’s methyldichlorosilane industry has further accelerated.

According to the “2023-2028 China Methyldichlorosilane Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that methyldichlorosilane is an important raw material for the production of silicone materials. Organic silicon is widely used in textile, construction, aerospace, electronic and electrical, petrochemical and other fields. In 2022, my country’s organic silicon output will reach 1.735 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 12.7%. With in-depth research and technological advancement, the application scope of silicone is expected to be further expanded, which will provide favorable conditions for the development of the methyldichlorosilane industry.

The main players in the global methyldichlorosilane market include Gelest Company of the United States, Dow Corning Company of the United States, Clearco Products Company of the United States, Wacker Chemie AG of Germany, etc. Major players in my country’s methyldichlorosilane market include Hubei Xingfa Chemical Group Co., Ltd., Hesheng Silicon Industry Co., Ltd., Shandong Dongyue Silicone Materials Co., Ltd., etc.

Hesheng Silicon Industry and Dongyue Silicon Materials are the leading companies in my country’s methyldichlorosilane market. Dongyue Silicon Materials focuses on the research and development, production and sales of silicone products, and has also drafted a number of industry standards such as “Methyldichlorosilane”. According to the financial report of Dongyue Silicon Materials Company, in the first three quarters of 2022, the company achieved revenue of 5.18 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 80.6%. It is expected that in the future, with technological innovation, the market share of domestically produced methyldichlorosilane in my country will further increase.

           Industry analysts said that methyldichlorosilane, as one of the organic chemical raw materials, has broad market prospects. In recent years, benefiting from the rapid development of the silicone industry, my country’s market demand for methyldichlorosilane has become increasingly strong, attracting many companies to lay out R&D and production tracks. Hoshine Silicon and Dongyue Silicon Materials are the leading companies in my country’s methyldichlorosilane market. In the future, driven by technological innovation, local companies will have competitive advantages in the global market.
