Phenyl silicone oil empowers the performance upgrade of new energy and extreme environment applications, opening up new market space

1.The large-scale application of photovoltaic power has strengthened the energy security barrier
In the wave of upgrading the new energy industry, phenyl silicone oil is becoming a key material support for photovoltaic and power systems. Relying on the industry-university-research collaboration platform of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Transformation Center, phenyl silicone oil has achieved large-scale application in the photovoltaic sealing and insulation links through optimized formula and module compatibility tests. Actual data shows that the weather resistance of photovoltaic modules made of this material has been significantly enhanced, and their service life has been extended to over 25 years, providing a core guarantee for the stable power generation of photovoltaic power stations in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. In the power sector, the phenyl silicone oil formula improved for the extreme environmental requirements of power grid insulators can maintain insulation stability for a long time under high-temperature, high-humidity and high-radiation conditions, reducing the frequency of power grid operation and maintenance by 60% and significantly saving operation and maintenance costs.

2. Extreme environment performance has been further enhanced to safeguard polar and deep-sea exploration
Phenyl silicone oil, with its outstanding adaptability to extreme environments, demonstrates unique value in the field of special equipment. Its temperature resistance range has achieved full coverage of scenarios from -70 ℃ to 380℃. The low phenyl content (5%-10%) products have performed outstandingly in the hydraulic systems of Antarctic research stations. The cold start time in a -65℃ environment is controlled within 3 seconds, and the equipment failure rate is reduced by 75%. The high-phenyl type (30%-45%) has become a key material in the nuclear industry, capable of withstanding a radiation dose of 10⁶Gy under gamma ray irradiation. After a certain nuclear power plant adopted this material, the maintenance cycle of the sealing parts was extended from 3 years to 15 years. In the field of deep-sea exploration, phenyl silicone oil sealing materials have successfully withstood a water pressure of 100MPa, trifold increasing the service life of deep-sea detectors.

3. Customized technology addresses industry pain points, and process upgrades enhance product performance
By precisely regulating the phenyl content and molecular structure, phenyl silicone oil has achieved a breakthrough in scenario-based applications that are "customized on demand". The low phenyl series (5%-10%) has a freezing point exceeding -120 ℃, providing extremely low-temperature lubrication guarantees for superconducting equipment. The high phenyl series (45%+) has a thermal decomposition rate of less than 0.5% after continuous operation at 300℃ for 5000 hours. The diffusion pump silicone oil synthesized by the alkali balance method has a conversion rate of over 80%, and the kinematic viscosity control accuracy reaches ±5 centistograms, meeting the high vacuum (10⁻⁵ to 10⁻¹¹ torr) environmental requirements of the electronic metallurgy industry. These technological breakthroughs have continuously increased the penetration rate of phenyl silicone oil in high-end equipment manufacturing.

4. The demand for new energy continues to be released, and the market size expands rapidly
The explosive growth of the new energy industry has opened up a vast market space for phenyl silicone oil. In the field of new energy vehicles, the customized phenyl silicone oil heat conduction solution enables the temperature difference control accuracy of battery modules to reach ±0.3℃, significantly enhancing battery safety. After the lubrication system of wind power equipment was upgraded, the maintenance cost of gearboxes was reduced by 40% and the power generation increased by 5%. According to industry data, the global phenyl silicone oil market size exceeded 1.8 billion US dollars in 2023, among which the new energy sector in China contributed a growth rate of 35%. With the continuous growth of photovoltaic and wind power installed capacity, it is expected that the market size of related applications will exceed 2.5 billion US dollars by 2025.
