Aminosilane is a functional silane, and its main demand is in the automotive tire field.

                     Aminosilane, also known as r-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, has a molecular formula of H2NCH2CH2CH2Si (OC2H5) 3, and is a functional silane. Aminosilane appears as a colorless or light yellow transparent liquid, contains a faint smell of ammonia, and is soluble in ethyl acetate, toluene, acetone and ethanol. Aminosilane has the characteristics of strong adhesion, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance. It is widely used in automobile tires, coatings, fiberglass, textiles and other fields.

​​ ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​… Aminosilanes are functional silanes that can be used as antioxidants, adhesives and lubricants and are widely used in many fields. According to the “2023-2028 China Aminosilane Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, in recent years In recent years, with technological advancement, my country’s aminosilane production has increased, reaching 39,000 tons in 2022.

Aminosilane coupling agents are downstream products of aminosilane and can be subdivided into polyaminosilane coupling agents, triaminosilane coupling agents, monoaminosilane coupling agents, etc. Aminosilane coupling agents are commonly used silane coupling agents with a wide range of applications and can be blended with various resins. As the development of the silane coupling agent industry accelerates, the application demand for aminosilane coupling agents in my country continues to grow, which brings a broad market space for aminosilane.

Automotive tires, coatings, glass reinforcement, textiles and other fields are the main demand end of amino Silicane. In the field of automobile tires, aminosilane can be used as a tire rubber additive, which can effectively improve tire performance. Benefiting from national policy support and the improvement of national living standards, my country’s automobile production and sales have continued to grow, driving the prosperity of the automobile tire industry to continue to increase. According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, my country’s rubber tire casing production reached 475.471 million units in the first half of 2023, a year-on-year increase of 13.9%. As the production of automobile tires increases, the development speed of my country’s aminosilane industry will accelerate.

​​​​​​Major global aminosilanes manufacturers include Japan’s Shin-Etsu Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (Shin-Etsu), Germany’s Evonik Group (Evonik), Germany’s WACKER Chemical Company (WACKER), and the United States’ Momentive Advanced Materials Group (Momentive), etc. The main manufacturers of aminosilane in my country include Chenguang New Materials, Hongbai New Materials, Jianghan New Materials, Jiangsu Cathay, etc. Currently, Hongbai New Materials is actively expanding its functional silane production capacity. The company’s 9,000-ton aminosilane production project has been officially put into production in the second quarter of 2023.

​​  Industry analysts said that as functional silanes, aminosilane has excellent performance and wide range of uses. With the growth of market demand and the improvement of technology maturity, my country’s aminosilane production continues to increase. In terms of market competition, my country’s aminosilane industry is highly concentrated and there are very few companies with large-scale production capabilities. It is expected that in the future, as local companies continue to exert their efforts, the development space of my country’s aminosilane industry will further expand.
