Platinum vulcanizing agent can meet high-end production needs and has good future application prospects

Platinum vulcanizing agent, also known as platinum water, is a hydrosilylation reaction between hydrogen-containing silicone oil and vinyl double bonds in the presence of a catalyst, thereby achieving the purpose of cross-linking and vulcanization. Platinum vulcanizing agents are divided into single-component and two-component. Among them, single-component platinum vulcanizing agents are widely used and are in line with future development trends. Platinum vulcanizing agent has the characteristics of low vulcanization temperature, fast vulcanization speed, stable performance, and no yellowing of finished products. It is widely used in fields such as silicone, silicone rubber, and silicone wires.

Platinum group metals have excellent high temperature resistance and catalytic activity. As clean energy, platinum group metals show good application prospects in new energy, new materials, catalysts, fuel cells and other fields. Traditional vulcanizing agents have problems such as flammable, explosive, yellowing, strong odor, and environmental pollution. They are difficult to meet the high-end and environmentally friendly needs of food, medical and other fields. As industrial technology matures, platinum vulcanizing agents get rid of the problems of traditional vulcanizing agents and are increasingly used in new fields such as wearable devices, food, medical, and high-end handicrafts.

Due to high production costs, traditional vulcanizing agents such as Double 25, odorless vulcanizing agent, Double 24, and DCP still occupy a certain share of the market. However, with the improvement of environmental protection requirements and the improvement of platinum vulcanization technology, the production cost of platinum vulcanizing agents will decrease. The advantages of replacing traditional vulcanizing agents will be more obvious. my country is a major producer and consumer of silicone and silicone rubber in the world, and the platinum vulcanizing agent market has broad application prospects.

According to the “2022-2027 China Platinum Vulcanizing Agent Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, Platinum vulcanizing agents are widely used in Europe and the United States, and the market development is relatively mature. In the international market, the main platinum vulcanizing agent suppliers include Dow Corning, Heraeus Group, Japan’s Shin-Etsu Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., etc. Foreign companies started early and have advanced technologies, occupying a major share of the global high-end platinum vulcanizing agent market.

In the domestic market, there are a large number of platinum vulcanizing agent manufacturers, including Shenzhen Kejunchi Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Huikaipeng New Material Technology Co., Ltd., Dongguan Zhongzhan Silicone Material Co., Ltd., Dongguan Futian Chemical Technology Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Long Huixiang Technology Co., Ltd., Zhongshan Jinhong Rubber Technology Co., Ltd., Dongguan Kebei Silicone Material Co., Ltd., etc., the market competition is intensifying. With the advancement of domestic technology, the performance of domestic platinum vulcanizing agents has been greatly improved, and some products are comparable to international brands.

Industry analysts said that compared with traditional vulcanizing agents, platinum vulcanizing agents have the advantages of fast vulcanization speed, stable performance, and environmental protection. It can be used to produce food-grade and medical-grade silicone products. The production cost of platinum vulcanizing agents is high, but with the advancement of technology, the advantages of platinum vulcanizing agents in terms of cost, performance, environmental protection and other aspects have become increasingly apparent. With the upgrading of consumption, the application prospects of platinum vulcanizing agents are good.
