Category Drivers

Silicone rubber is a non-toxic material that is commonly used in the food industry. Its remarkable characteristics make it ideal for steamed or sterilised seals and gaskets. Because of its strong electrical resistance, it’s also employed in the electrical and electronics industries. It is used in personal care products, deodorants, and cosmetics because it has a smooth texture, low surface tension, and anti-foaming properties, and it does not irritate the skin. Over the forecast period, increased government regulatory intervention across the value chain, i.e., raw material, manufacturing process, and distribution of various grades of silicone products to their end-use applications, is expected to have an impact on silicon prices in various end-use industries.

Category Insight by Region

Due to factors such as increased raw material availability, low labour costs, and more market penetration opportunities in end-use industries such as consumer products, electronics, healthcare, energy, transportation, industrial process, construction, and personal care, the Asia Pacific region holds a significant share of the market.

The growing application of the product in numerous sectors is propelling the market forward. In the construction segment, it’s utilised to seal metal frame system connections and apertures, roofing, flashing penetrations and terminations, building material expansion joints, interior perimeters of doors, and baseboards and mouldings. It’s used to create textiles, paper, leather packaging, labels, and airbags, among other things, and it’s also used in the following applications as a solvent, adhesive, wetting agent, and anti-foaming agent. The substance is also utilised in a range of textile activities, including the manufacturing of yarns and the finished product since it provides lubrication, foam control, and softening to the yarn or fabric.

The commodity is one of the most adaptable materials, with uses in a wide range of industries. Durability, dielectricity, adhesion, foam control, discharge safety, UV stability, glossiness, transparency, radiation resistance, hydrophobicity, heat resistance, and flexibility are some of their distinguishing characteristics, allowing them to be used in a variety of industries.

Best Procurement Practices

The global silicones industry report by Procurement Resource gives an in-depth analysis of the best buying practices followed by the major customers of silicones products across the globe, such as engagement models, contract terms, and buyer and supplier negotiation levers, among others.

Category Management Studies

Separating silicone from silica is the first step in the silicone manufacturing process. This is performed by heating a large quantity of quartz sand to temperatures of up to 1800 degrees Celsius. As a result, pure, isolated silicon is created, which is then cooled and ground into a fine powder. To make silicone, fine silicon powder is combined with methyl chloride and heated again. The two components react with heat, resulting in the creation of methyl chlorosilane. Methyl chlorosilane is made up of several compounds, the most important of which is dimethyldichlorosilane, which is the main silicone component.

A sophisticated distillation procedure separates the distinct elements of the methyl chlorosilane to convert dimethyldichlorosilane to silicone. Because different chlorosilanes have different boiling points, this can be performed by heating the mixture to a series of precise temperatures. Water is given to dimethyldichlorosilane after distillation, causing it to split into disilanol and hydrochloric acid. As a result of the hydrochloric acid acting as a catalyst, the disilanol is transformed into polydimethylsiloxane. Polydimethylsiloxane contains the siloxane bond, which is the backbone of silicone. The silicone is subsequently polymerized, based on the desired properties of the completed product. As a result, silicone has emerged as one of the most popular elastomers for commercial and industrial use.
