The domestic technology for auxiliaries of silicone oil continues to make breakthroughs, opening up new growth spaces for various downstream sectors.

1. Iterative modification of processing techniques, upgrading the performance of high-end auxiliaries
With the continuous development of fine chemical new materials, silicone oil as an indispensable functional material in industries such as coatings, textiles, and rubber and plastic, the molecular modification technology has undergone a new round of iterative upgrade. By adjusting the length of the silicon-oxygen chain and the ratio of functional groups, differentiated functional products such as wetting, leveling, defoaming, and softening can be customized to solve common industry pain points such as shrinkage, oil leakage, yellowing, and poor water washing resistance. The new generation of products takes into account compatibility and stability, and can adapt to complex conditions such as water-based systems and high-temperature processing, narrowing the performance gap with overseas high-end similar products and providing more options for downstream formula optimization.

2. Release of demand from multiple downstream sectors, significant structural growth in the market
The application scenarios of auxiliaries of silicone oil continue to expand. The water-based transformation in the coatings industry has driven the steady increase in demand for leveling and defoaming silicone oil; the popularization of green processes in textile printing and dyeing has led to a continuous increase in the usage of environmentally friendly softening silicone oil; in rubber and plastic processing, new energy materials, and other fields, the purchase volume of lubricating, dispersing, and interface-modifying silicone oil is constantly increasing. Different sectors have different requirements for product indicators, and the competition for general-purpose products has intensified. Customized and high-value-added auxiliaries of silicone oil have become the core driving force for market growth, and the industry presents a structurally improving trend.

3. Accelerated green production transformation, low environmental residue becoming a hard requirement
Environmental policies continue to tighten, and stricter control requirements are imposed on indicators such as silicon-oxygen ring residues, VOCs, and extractables for auxiliaries of silicone oil. The industry is accelerating the transformation of molecular distillation, film evaporation, and closed continuous production processes to reduce by-product residues and reduce production-end waste emissions. Low silicon, low volatility, and easy degradability have become important labels for mainstream products, and products that do not meet compliance indicators are gradually exiting the mainstream supply chain, forcing the entire industry to complete process and formula upgrades.

4. Pioneering domestic substitution, focusing on refined customization capabilities
In the past, some high-end auxiliaries of silicone oil relied on external supply. Now, domestic synthesis and purification technologies have continuously matured, and the stability and impurity control of batches have been continuously improved. The industry's competition focus has shifted from basic production capacity competition to molecular design, rapid prototyping, and customized development capabilities. Providing targeted solutions for different industries, shortening delivery cycles, is an important development direction for the auxiliaries of silicone oil industry in the future. Domestic products have achieved successful implementation in more high-end application scenarios.
