In December 2025, the organic silicon industry has made multiple breakthroughs in technological innovation and application expansion. From aerospace to consumer goods, this "industrial monosodium glutamate" is deeply integrated into various fields of the national economy, injecting new momentum into industrial upgrading.


Aerospace field: High performance materials help domestic breakthroughs
In the high-end manufacturing field, organic silicon materials are playing an increasingly important role. On December 18th, AkzoNobel announced a 50 million euro investment to upgrade its Illinois factory, with a focus on developing aerospace coatings aimed at improving the high temperature and corrosion resistance of aircraft casings and reducing maintenance costs. At the same time, domestic enterprises such as Chengdu Silicon Treasure Technology have also accelerated their layout. Their low-density organic silicon materials for lithium batteries have been applied to domestic new energy aircraft, improving their endurance by reducing the weight of the fuselage and providing key support for the domestic large aircraft industry chain.


In the field of new energy, mass production of silicon carbon negative electrode materials is imminent
With the acceleration of global energy transition, the application of organosilicon in the field of new energy continues to deepen. On December 18th, the first phase project of Inner Mongolia Silicon Source New Energy Electronic Materials Technology Co., Ltd.'s annual production of 20000 tons of silicon carbon negative electrode materials was officially put into operation in Ordos City. This project adopts organic silicon precursor technology, and the energy density of the silicon carbon negative electrode material produced is increased by more than 30% compared to traditional graphite negative electrodes, which can significantly extend the battery life of lithium batteries and meet the needs of scenarios such as electric vehicles and energy storage power stations. According to calculations, once the project is fully operational, it will meet over 20% of China's demand for high-end negative electrode materials, promoting the independent and controllable development of China's new energy industry chain.


Livelihood consumption field: Innovative products improve quality of life
The skin friendly and temperature resistant properties of organic silicon materials make them widely used in the field of consumer goods. In December, "Haiduo Brand Polyether Silicone Oil" under Jiangxi Haiduo Organic Silicon Materials Co., Ltd. was awarded the title of "Jiangxi Famous Brand" for its excellent quality. As a core additive in cosmetics, shampoos and other daily chemical products, this product can significantly improve the softness and moisturization of the product, breaking the foreign technological monopoly. In addition, medical silicone catheters and baby pacifiers developed by companies such as Sanyou Chemical have become "internet famous" products in the maternal and child market due to their non-toxic and anti-aging characteristics, with annual sales exceeding 1 billion yuan.


Technological innovation: industry university research cooperation to solve the bottleneck problem
Behind the technological breakthroughs in the industry is the continuous efforts of the deep integration of industry, academia, and research. On December 23rd, the "organic silicon pervaporation membrane" technology jointly developed by Wuhan University and multiple enterprises passed the appraisal. This technology can efficiently separate low concentration organic matter and has broad application prospects in the field of chemical wastewater treatment; The "high-performance polydimethylsiloxane material with dynamic bonds" developed by Beijing University of Chemical Technology has improved the tensile strength of silicone products by 50% and extended their lifespan to over 10 years through molecular structure innovation. According to statistics, by 2025, the organic silicon industry will have over 1200 new national invention patent authorizations, and the speed of technological iteration will significantly accelerate.


Future Trends: Green and Intelligent Development Direction
Faced with the "dual carbon" goal, the organic silicon industry is accelerating its green transformation. Wanhua Chemical and other enterprises have upgraded their catalytic technology to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions by 20% and 15% in the production of MDI (diphenylmethane diisocyanate); Hesheng Silicon Industry utilizes the advantages of its own power plants to establish a "silicon electricity co production" model, achieving energy cascade utilization. At the same time, intelligent production has become a new trend. The "5G+Industrial Internet" factory built by Jiangxi Bluestar Starfire Organosilicon Co., Ltd. has optimized the process flow through digital twin technology, which has raised the product qualification rate to 99.9% and reduced the energy consumption per unit output value by 18%.


Industry experts say that with the dual drive of technological innovation and application expansion, the silicone industry is extending from the traditional materials field to strategic emerging industries such as high-end manufacturing and green energy. It is expected that by 2026, the global silicone market size will exceed 200 billion yuan, and China is expected to continue to maintain its position as the world's largest producer and consumer country, contributing its strength to the stability of the global industrial and supply chains.
