As a segmented product of modified silicone oil, alkyl phenyl silicone oil has broad application prospects.

There are many types of silicone oils. According to different organic groups, they can be divided into vinyl silicone oil, alkylphenyl silicone oil, phenyl silicone oil, amino silicone oil, etc. Alkylphenyl silicone oil, also known as alkylphenyl co-modified silicone oil, refers to a modified silicone oil that introduces phenyl groups on the basis of alkyl silicone oil, and has both the high heat resistance of dimethyl silicone oil and excellent compatibility with carbon-containing compounds. . Alkylphenyl silicone oil appears as a colorless and transparent liquid and has broad application prospects in cosmetics, metal casting, synthetic rubber, synthetic plastics, synthetic fibers and other fields.

Alkylphenyl silicone oil is a subdivided product of modified silicone oil. It has the characteristics of mold release, moisturizing, high temperature resistance, and can improve gloss. Benefiting from the growth in market demand, my country’s modified silicone oil industry has continued to accelerate its development and has become one of the world’s major producers. Alkylphenyl silicone oil refers to modified silicone oil made based on methyl silicone oil. In 2022, my country’s methyl silicone oil production will reach 1.412 million tons, and the production capacity will reach 1.536 million tons. The sufficient supply of raw materials has laid a good foundation for the development of my country’s alkyl phenyl silicone oil industry.

According to the “2023-2028 China Alkylphenyl Silicone Oil Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that alkyl phenyl silicone oil has broad application prospects in cosmetics, metal casting, synthetic rubber, synthetic plastics, synthetic fibers and other fields. In the field of cosmetics, alkylphenyl silicone oil can be used to produce facial creams, toners, lotions, etc.; in the field of metal casting, alkylphenyl silicone oil can be used to produce release agents for metal die-casting, accounting for nearly 60% of the demand; in the field of synthetic fibers Field, alkylphenyl silicone oil can be used as fiber lubricant. Driven by downstream demand, my country’s sales of alkyl phenyl silicone oil continue to grow.

The major global manufacturers of alkylphenyl silicone oil include Germany’s WACKER, the United States’ Dow Corning, and Japan’s Shin-Etsu Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (Shin-Etsu). WACKER, Germany, is the world’s largest supplier of alkylphenyl silicone oil. The alkylphenyl silicone oil WACKER® GM 196/GM191 launched by it has the characteristics of environmental protection, high temperature resistance, etc., and can be used to produce 5G filters.

There are many alkyl phenyl silicone oil manufacturers in my country, mainly including Runhe Materials, Xingfa Chemical, Airui Chemical, Jipeng Silicone Fluoride, etc. Runhe Materials is my country’s leading alkylphenyl silicone oil company, occupying a large market share. Its products are mainly used as release agents for metal die-casting molding. According to the annual report of Runhe Materials Company, the company will achieve revenue of 1.18 billion yuan in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 7.2%.

Industry analysts said that alkylphenyl silicone oil, as a modified silicone oil, is widely used in many fields. In recent years, my country’s alkyl phenyl silicone oil industry has continued to see good development prospects, benefiting from sufficient supply of raw materials and growing downstream demand. In terms of market competition, my country’s alkyl phenyl silicone oil industry is highly concentrated, with leading companies occupying the majority of the market share.
