The industrial chain of ethyl silicone oil covers silicon ore collection, silicon material processing, organic silicon material production, ethyl silicone oil production, and downstream applications.
Silicon ore is one of the raw materials for ethyl silicone oil, mainly distributed in countries and regions such as China, the United States, and Russia. Silicon ore can be processed through iron smelting, smelting, and other processes to obtain silicon materials, which can then be used to produce organic silicon materials such as silane and siloxane. The production of ethyl silicone oil is based on organic silicon materials, which are obtained through steps such as the reaction of chloroethane with magnesium metal, hydrolysis and condensation.
In terms of downstream applications, ethyl silicone oil is widely used in industries, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other fields. In the industrial field, its demand as a mold release agent, insulation material, lubricant, etc. is stable; In the field of cosmetics, as consumers upgrade their pursuit of product experience, the demand for ethyl silicone oil continues to grow; In the field of medicine, with the advancement of medical technology, the application scenarios of ethyl silicone oil are constantly expanding.
