Competition in the vinyl silicone oil market is becoming increasingly fierce, and electronic grade vinyl silicone oil is expected to become a representative product

Vinyl silicone oil, also known as methyl vinyl silicone oil, refers to linear polydimethylsiloxane with vinyl groups in the middle segment or at both ends. Compared with other organic silicone oils, vinyl silicone oil has the characteristics of good compatibility with organic materials, strong reactivity, and low volatile matter. It is widely used in electronic glue, rubber, adhesives and other fields.

According to the “2023-2028 China Vinyl Silicone Oil Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report》 shows that the rubber field is the largest demand side for vinyl silicone oil, accounting for nearly 60%. Vinyl silicone oil has a reactive vinyl group and can be used to prepare rubber products such as liquid silicone rubber and high-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber. In recent years, my country’s liquid silicone rubber industry has been increasingly prosperous and has been widely used in automobile manufacturing, consumer electronics, medical and other fields. Driven by market demand, my country’s liquid silicone rubber production continues to grow, reaching 109,000 tons in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 29.6%. As the development of downstream industries accelerates, my country’s vinyl silicone oil market space will continue to expand.

Vinyl silicone oil is mainly divided into two categories: high vinyl silicone oil and vinyl-terminated silicone oil. High vinyl silicone oil has a high vinyl content and has the advantages of good chemical stability, resistance to yellowing, and resistance to aging. It is widely used in plastic additives, silicone potting materials and other fields; vinyl-terminated silicone oil refers to the bands on both ends of the molecular chain. Vinyl linear polydimethylsiloxane is widely used in the production process of liquid silicone rubber.

Electronic grade vinyl silicone oil is an emerging product in the vinyl silicone oil market, which refers to vinyl silicone oil that can be used in the electronic field. Electronic grade vinyl silicone oil can extend the service life of electronic products and reduce their production costs. Circuit boards, electronic transformers, power modules, LED lamps, etc. are electronic grade vinyl silicone oil end products. In recent years, with the acceleration of the localization of electronic products, the market demand for electronic grade vinyl silicone oil in my country has become increasingly strong, providing favorable conditions for the development of the vinyl silicone oil industry.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​With the increasing prosperity of the vinyl silicone oil industry, my country’s market competition has become increasingly fierce. Ningbo Runhe High-tech Materials Technology Co., Ltd., Hubei Xingfa Chemical Industry Group Co., Ltd., Shandong Dongyue Silicone Materials Co., Ltd., Inner Mongolia Hengxing Chemical Co., Ltd., etc. are the main manufacturers of vinyl silicone oil in my country. Runhe Materials focuses on the R&D, production and sales of electronic grade vinyl silicone oil. Currently, the company is promoting a project to produce 3,000 tons of electronic grade vinyl silicone oil per year.

Industry analysts said that vinyl silicone oil has excellent performance and has broad application prospects in many fields. With the gradual release of downstream demand, industry development The situation will continue to improve. Attracted by market prospects, the number of companies engaged in vinyl silicone oil in my country continues to grow, and the market competition is becoming increasingly fierce. It is expected that companies with the production capacity of electronic grade vinyl silicone oil will occupy more market space in the future.
