The surging demand for fluorosilicone oil has driven industrial upgrading
1.Environmental protection policies are driving technological iteration
With the implementation of policies such as the "Regulations on the Protection of the Ecological Environment of the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi Province", fluorosilicon chemical enterprises are accelerating their green transformation. They are optimizing their energy structure through measures such as replacing coal with natural gas and building photovoltaic power generation projects. A certain enterprise invested 4.48 million yuan to renovate the exhaust gas treatment system, reducing the concentration of exhaust gas from the hydrogen fluoride device by over 70%. At the same time, it implemented a deep sewage treatment project, saving 120,000 tons of water annually. The upgrading of environmental protection technologies is driving the industry towards low energy consumption and low emissions.
2. Demand in the new energy sector has exploded
In the photovoltaic industry, fluorine-containing silicone self-cleaning coatings can increase the power generation efficiency of panels by 8% to 12% and reduce cleaning costs by more than 50%. This coating grafts fluorine-containing side chains through a silicon-hydrogen addition reaction to form a dense hydrophobic layer, effectively resisting the adhesion of dust and oil stains. In addition, the application of perfluoropolpolyether fluorine vacuum pump oil in single crystal furnace equipment meets the requirements of ultimate vacuum operation, promotes the process of domestic substitution, and the market penetration rate is expected to increase to 30% in the next three years.
3. Expansion of high-end manufacturing applications
In the aerospace field, fluorosilicone rubber seals perform stably at alternating temperatures ranging from -60 β to 200β, and can withstand the erosion of aviation fuel and hydraulic oil, ensuring the reliability of key components. Its low compression set characteristic extends the service life to more than twice that of traditional materials, and it has been widely used in aircraft fuel systems and rocket propellant tanks. In the automotive industry, fluorosilicone oil-based grease can meet the long-term usage requirements of engine crankshaft oil seals in high-temperature and high-pressure environments, reducing the risk of leakage.
4. The market size continues to expand
Market reports indicate that the global fluorosilicone oil market size is expected to grow from 11 billion US dollars in 2024 to 15 billion US dollars in 2030, with an average annual compound growth rate of over 10%. The growth in demand from emerging fields such as electronics and electrical engineering has become the main driving force, and the application proportion of high-performance fluorosilicone oil in semiconductor equipment and 5G communication base stations has been increasing year by year. Through digital transformation to optimize supply chain management, some enterprises have shortened their R&D cycles by 20% and reduced production costs by 15%, further consolidating their market competitiveness.
