On January 23, 2026, Bengbu, Anhui - With the steady growth of the global organic silicon material market, ethyl silicone oil, as a high-performance specialty silicone oil, continues to expand its applications in industries, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other fields due to its excellent low temperature resistance, lubricity, and dielectric properties. According to market research institutions, the global market size of ethyl silicone oil has exceeded 4 billion US dollars by 2025, and is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 6% in the next three years, with the contribution rate of the Chinese market exceeding 35%.


Technological breakthrough: Upgraded low-temperature resistance performance
Anhui Aiyota Silicone Oil Co., Ltd. recently announced that its developed "Super Low Temperature Resistant Ethyl Silicone Oil" has achieved large-scale production. This product has a freezing point below -80 ℃ and can maintain stable performance in extreme environments of -150 ℃. It is widely used in high-end fields such as aerospace and deep-sea exploration. The company's technical director stated, "By optimizing the molecular chain structure, we have successfully solved the problem of sudden viscosity increase of traditional ethyl silicone oil at ultra-low temperatures. The product has passed rigorous testing by multiple military enterprises


Application Expansion: From Industrial Lubrication to Medical Aesthetics and Skincare
In the industrial field, ethyl silicone oil has been used as a release agent, insulation material, and special lubricant, covering scenarios such as automotive manufacturing and electronic packaging. For example, a new energy vehicle battery manufacturer uses Iota's ethyl silicone oil as a thermal conductive medium, which improves the temperature stability of the battery pack by 20%. In the cosmetics industry, ethyl silicone oil has become a key additive for face cream, lipstick and other products because of its non-toxic and non corrosive properties. The low surface tension characteristic of ethyl silicone oil can significantly improve the extensibility and skin feel of products. Currently, we have applied it to high-end anti-aging series, "revealed the R&D manager of an international beauty brand


Capacity Expansion: Regional Cluster Effect Reveals
According to statistics, there are over 80 ethyl silicone oil production enterprises in China, with a total annual production capacity of about 150000 tons, of which Anhui, Jiangsu, and Shandong provinces account for over 60%. Aiyota Company has recently completed its second phase of expansion, adding an annual production capacity of 20000 tons, making it the largest ethyl silicone oil production base in East China. The general manager of the company pointed out, "We have established joint laboratories with universities such as Nanjing University of Technology, and will focus on developing medical grade ethyl silicone oil in the future to meet emerging needs such as medical device lubrication and drug carriers


Industry challenge: Environmental protection and standards urgently need to be improved
Despite the broad market prospects, the ethyl silicone oil industry still faces environmental pressures. According to the "Hygienic Standards for Cosmetics" and the "Drug Management Regulations", the use of ethyl silicone oil in the daily chemical and pharmaceutical fields must strictly limit the impurity content. In response, Aiyota Company has invested millions of dollars to upgrade its sewage treatment system and participated in the development of the "Green Production Standards for Ethyl Silicone Oil Industry" to promote sustainable development of the industry chain.
