Recently, China’s phenyl silicone oil product IOTA255 has gone viral for its outstanding performance, breaking the long-standing dominance of international brands in the high-end market. Facing global benchmarks such as Dow Chemical, Shin-Etsu, and Wacker, IOTA255 has not only achieved performance parity but also demonstrated superior advantages in multiple key application scenarios, redefinin

When Culture Meets Technology: Silicone — The Silent Guardian of Creative Fridge Magnets Lately, China’s cultural fridge magnets have taken social media by storm — from the “Turning Luck” oracle bone design from Yinxu to the auspicious gourd-shaped magnets from the Henan Museum. These imaginative souvenirs have become must-have collectibles for young people. But few people know t

As China’s electromechanical products gain increasing popularity in overseas markets such as the Middle East — thanks to their high cost performance and wide variety — durability and reliability have become major points of focus for international customers. In this process, silicone materials play a vital role. With excellent sealing, waterproofing, dust resistance, and high- and low-te

Future growth in the silicone industry will hinge on technological innovation and emerging applications. The sector is moving beyond pure capacity expansion into a stage of “precision upgrading,” focused on specialization, functionality, and sustainability. Breakthroughs in molecular design now allow precise tuning of silicone properties. By introducing special functional groups, customized mater

The development of the silicone industry over recent decades tells a story of transformation—from technological dependence to self-reliance. In earlier years, core technologies were monopolized by a few developed nations. Chinese manufacturers not only paid high prices for monomers but also faced strict technical blockades. Domestic production was mostly limited to low- and mid-end products, while

Under the “dual carbon” goals, environmental protection and sustainability have become the focus of industrial transformation. Through technological innovation, the silicone industry is evolving from “green material” to “circular economy.” Low-VOC and recyclable silicone products not only meet regulatory standards but also offer major competitive advantages. In construction, low-VOC silicone seal

The explosive growth of artificial intelligence is driven by powerful hardware—AI servers and high-performance chips—but with greater computing power comes immense heat. Silicone’s superior thermal conductivity and insulation make it essential for stable AI hardware operation. High-end AI chips now exceed 300 W in power consumption. Without effective heat dissipation, overheating can reduce perfo

Global photovoltaic (PV) capacity continues to soar—new installations reached 532 GW in 2024. The key material that enables solar panels to operate outdoors for over two decades is silicone. The PV industry has extremely high standards for weather resistance and stability, and silicone—combining flexibility and strength—acts as the panels’ “guardian.” PV panels are exposed year-round to UV radiat

As chip manufacturing continues to advance—from 7 nm to 3 nm—the requirements for encapsulation and protection materials have become extremely demanding, and silicone has become an indispensable material thanks to its precisely tailored properties. The stability of a chip depends heavily on its external protection, and silicone forms the core of this “protective armor.” High-purity, electronic-gr

In today’s rapidly evolving new energy vehicle (NEV) industry, silicone has long evolved from an “auxiliary material” to a “core safeguard.” Compared with traditional fuel vehicles that use only 2.5 kg per car, NEVs consume up to 20 kg of silicone—nearly a tenfold increase—reflecting its irreplaceable performance advantages. As the “heart” of an electric vehicle, the battery pack’s safety directl
