The international market for fluorosilicone oil continues to expand, with environmental protection standards and recycling technologies becoming the focus

1.The global market size is growing at an accelerating pace
The global fluorosilicone oil market size is expected to exceed 11 billion US dollars in 2025 and reach 15 billion US dollars by 2030, with an average annual growth rate of over 10%. This growth is mainly attributed to the expansion of demand in emerging fields such as electronics and automobiles, as well as the upgrading demands for high-performance materials in traditional industries like aerospace and mechanical manufacturing. Data shows that the application proportion of fluorosilicone oil in rubber processing has increased from 25% in 2020 to 32% in 2025.

2. Environmental protection policies drive the upgrading of industry standards
With the global focus on green manufacturing, the fluorosilicone oil industry is accelerating its transformation towards low pollution and high efficiency. In August 2025, China released the industry standard for "End-vinyl fluorosilicone Oil", which regulated the preparation process and performance indicators of the product and promoted the standardization of industry technology. The EU REACH regulation also imposes stricter requirements on the chemical content of fluorosilicone oil, prompting enterprises to optimize their production processes and reduce the use of fluorine-containing solvents.


3. Phased progress has been made in the research and development of recycling technology
In response to the high-value characteristics of fluorosilicone oil, research institutions are exploring closed-loop recovery solutions. At present, through supercritical fluid extraction technology, over 90% of the effective components in waste fluorosilicone oil can be recovered, and after purification, they can be reused in the production of lubricating grease. The fluorine and silicon new materials cluster in Zigong City has established pilot projects. Through the "production - recycling - reuse" model, it aims to reduce resource consumption and is expected to achieve large-scale application by 2026.


4. Extreme environment applications and green synthesis processes
The performance of fluorosilicone oil in high-temperature and high-pressure environments has been continuously optimized. For instance, in steam power circulation systems, its chemical inertness can reduce equipment corrosion and extend service life by more than 20%. Meanwhile, green synthesis processes are constantly emerging, such as the one-step polymerization reaction of phenylsesquiloxane and hexaphenyldisiloxane, which does not require vacuum high-temperature dehydration and significantly reduces energy consumption and pollution. These technological innovations not only enhance product performance but also lay a foundation for the sustainable development of the industry.
