On May 7, 2026, Wuhan Kandis Chemical Co., Ltd. announced the launch of a new generation of ethyl silicone oil products, which achieves performance customization through molecular structure regulation technology to meet differentiated needs in medical, electronic and other fields. As a national high-tech enterprise, Kandis Chemical has become a benchmark for industry technological innovation with its 800 square meter intelligent warehousing and 24-hour CNC detection system.


Innovative products: Functional modification leads the trend
In response to the lubrication needs of medical equipment, Kandis has developed biocompatible ethyl silicone oil, which has passed ISO 10993 certification and can be used in surgical instruments, implantable devices, and other scenarios. The R&D director of the company introduced fluorine element for copolymerization modification, which makes the product resistant to chemical corrosion and has low surface tension characteristics. It can replace traditional fluorocarbon compounds in semiconductor cleaning processes. In addition, for the field of electronic packaging, the company has launched low ring ethyl silicone oil with a ring content (D3-D10) of less than 300ppm, effectively reducing the pollution of volatile compounds on components.


Industry university research cooperation: accelerating the landing of technology
Kandis Chemical has jointly established a "Industry University Research Incubation Base" with universities such as Fudan University and Wuhan University, focusing on the application of ethyl silicone oil in emerging fields such as new energy and biomedicine. In 2025, the jointly developed "ultra-low temperature resistant ethyl silicone oil" has been applied to Antarctic scientific research equipment, which can maintain fluidity at -80 ℃ environment. The company's general manager stated, "We will invest 50 million yuan in the research and development of functional silicone oil in the next three years, with the goal of covering 80% of high-end application scenarios


Market feedback: Customer recognition continues to increase
The procurement manager of an international watch company stated, "Kandis' ethyl silicone oil extends the lubrication cycle of our movements to 5 years and reduces the failure rate by 60%." Data shows that Kandis' ethyl silicone oil sales increased by 52% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2026, with customized products accounting for 35%. The enterprise plans to establish application technology centers in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta, providing a full chain service of "material selection process optimization performance testing".


Industry outlook: Greening becomes a new direction
With the advancement of the "dual carbon" target, the environmental performance of ethyl silicone oil has attracted much attention. Kandis Chemical has launched the "Zero Pollution Production Plan" to reduce carbon emissions per unit product by 40% through the recycling of reaction solvents and by-products. Experts point out that functionalization and greenization will become the core trends of the ethyl silicone oil industry in the next five years, and the market size is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 8%.
