Hydroxyl silicone oil: An innovation engine in the fields of smart agriculture and new energy

1.Breakthroughs have been made in the technology of aerial spraying agents for agricultural drones
Significant progress has been made in the application of hydroxyl silicone oil in the agricultural field. The new type of flying pest control agent, when compounded with citronella oil and paraffin oil, has significantly improved the utilization rate of pesticides. Studies show that this additive can reduce the surface tension of the droplets to 22mN/m, increase the adhesion rate of the pesticide solution on crop leaves by more than 30%, and effectively reduce pesticide drift and waste. The microemulsification technology developed by a certain research institution makes the average particle size of emulsified droplets less than 0.3 microns, ensuring the stability of the additive in complex environments. It has been applied on a large scale in the prevention and control of pests and diseases in crops such as rice and wheat. It is expected that by 2025, the market size of this type of environmentally friendly flying pest control agent will exceed 500 million yuan, becoming a key support for smart agriculture.

2. Innovation in the performance of photovoltaic sealing materials
In the field of new energy, hydroxyl silicone oil-based sealing materials provide long-term protection for photovoltaic modules. Through nano-modification technology, the self-cleaning performance of the coating has been significantly enhanced, reducing the adhesion of dust on the surface of photovoltaic glass by 80%. At the same time, it strengthens the resistance to ultraviolet aging and extends the service life of the module to over 25 years. The new type of sealant also features excellent weather resistance and temperature resistance, maintaining stable performance within the range of -50 ℃ to 180℃, and has been widely used in the encapsulation of photovoltaic solar panels. In 2025, the global market size of hydroxyl silicone oil for photovoltaic is expected to reach 1.8 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of over 12%.

3. In-depth expansion of medical and biological applications
A breakthrough has been made in the biocompatibility research of hydroxyl silicone oil in the medical field. A new type of surgical suture prepared by compounding medical-grade hydroxyl silicone oil with polyurethane has a 50% increase in tensile strength and possesses antibacterial and tissue repair promoting functions. It has entered the clinical stage. In the field of ophthalmology, contact lens materials containing hydroxyl silicone oil have been modified for hydrophilicity, increasing the oxygen permeability by 40% and effectively alleviating wearing discomfort. The related products have passed the EU CE certification. By 2025, the market size of medical-grade hydroxyl silicone oil is expected to reach 1 billion yuan, becoming an important growth point in biomedical engineering.

4. Market demand and technological upgrading go hand in hand
The global hydroxysilicone oil market is experiencing rapid growth. It is expected to reach a market size of 7.13 billion US dollars in 2025 and exceed 10.5 billion US dollars in 2032, with a compound annual growth rate of 4.95%. The upgrading of consumption has driven a sharp increase in demand in the personal care sector. Skin care products containing hydroxyl silicone oil, which combine moisturizing and anti-wrinkle functions, have an annual growth rate of 7%. Meanwhile, the tightening of environmental protection regulations has forced the industry to upgrade its technology. The proportion of products with low VOC content has risen to 45%, and green processes such as nano-modification and membrane separation have become mainstream. As the world's largest producer, China is expected to account for over 30% of the global market share by 2025 and gradually achieve import substitution in high-end electronic packaging and new energy materials.
