Ethyl silicone oil: Green innovation empowers people's livelihood and high-end manufacturing

1. Green technology leads industrial transformation
The ethyl silicone oil industry is accelerating its upgrade towards environmental protection, and multiple green production technologies have been applied on a large scale. The solvent-free process replaces traditional organic solvents with supercritical fluids, reducing the residual organic solvents in the product to below 10ppm and cutting the VOCs emissions by more than 50%. Breakthroughs have been made in the research and development of bio-based raw materials. Plant-based ethanol has been used to replace petroleum-based raw materials, effectively reducing the carbon footprint of products and aligning with the carbon neutrality development goal. Meanwhile, the popularization of intelligent production systems has led to a 30% reduction in energy consumption per unit of product compared to ten years ago, and the production qualification rate has increased to 99.5%, driving the industry towards a more efficient and clean direction.

2. Applications in the field of people's livelihood have flourished in multiple areas
The application of ethyl silicone oil in daily consumption and people's livelihood scenarios continues to expand. In the field of daily chemicals, its mild and non-irritating nature makes it a core ingredient in skin care products and conditioners. It has both moisturizing and skin feel regulating functions, making it suitable for people with sensitive skin. In the textile industry, fabrics treated with ethyl silicone oil have a 40% increase in softness and possess water-resistant, stain-resistant and anti-static properties. They are widely used in outdoor clothing, infant and toddler intimate garments and other products. In the field of food contact, ethyl silicone oil that meets FDA standards is used as a processing aid to ensure the safety and hygiene of the food production process. Related products have covered scenarios such as baking and dairy processing.

3. The position of core materials for high-end manufacturing has become prominent
In the field of high-end manufacturing, the performance advantages of ethyl silicone oil have become a key support. In the field of electronics and electrical engineering, its excellent insulation property with a breakdown voltage of ≥25kV/mm, combined with good heat dissipation, makes it the core insulation and heat dissipation medium for semiconductor packaging and 5G equipment. In the new energy industry, high-viscosity ethyl silicone oil provides a stable guarantee for the thermal management system of power batteries, effectively enhancing the battery's cycle life and safety. In industrial manufacturing, as a special lubricant, it maintains stable fluidity within a wide temperature range of -60 ℃ to 250℃, ensuring the long-term operation of precision instruments and high-end equipment.

4. A steady growth in the market size is expected
Industry data shows that the ethyl silicone oil market is entering a period of steady growth. The domestic market size is expected to reach 15 billion yuan in 2025 and climb to 11.62 billion yuan in 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 8.2%. In terms of demand structure, the three major fields of electronic appliances, building sealing, and medical devices account for over 70%, with the rapid development of new energy vehicles and the semiconductor industry becoming the main growth engines. The process of domestic production is continuously accelerating. The domestic production rate is expected to increase from 35% in 2025 to over 50% in 2030, effectively reducing the market's reliance on imported products and enhancing the stability of the supply chain.
