Toluene diisocyanate manufacturer News As an important intermediate for organic silicone, the prosperity of the octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) industry continues to increase.

As an important intermediate for organic silicone, the prosperity of the octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) industry continues to increase.

         Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4), also known as octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, with the molecular formula C8H24O4Si4, is an important organic silicon intermediate. Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane appears as a colorless, transparent or milky white liquid with no special odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as benzene and insoluble in water. Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane can be used as a raw material for organic silicon compounds, and its end markets are in electronic and electrical, mechanical processing, food manufacturing, automobile manufacturing and other fields.

Dimethyldichlorosilane is the main raw material of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and an organic silicon monomer. my country is a major producer of dimethyldichlorosilane, accounting for nearly 50% of the world’s production capacity. In recent years, with the accelerated development of the silicone industry, the market demand for dimethyldichlorosilane has continued to grow, driving its production to further increase. The advantages of raw materials have laid a good foundation for the development of my country’s octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane industry.

According to the “2023-2028 China Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center >》shows that organic silicon, the full name of organosilicon compound, is a downstream product of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, including polysiloxane, polynitrogen silane, polycarbosilane, etc. As application demand becomes increasingly strong, the global silicone industry is gradually shifting to my country, and its market prospects continue to improve. In 2022, my country’s organic silicon production will reach 1.516 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 7.1%, and East China is the main production area in my country. As the prosperity of the organic silicone industry continues to increase, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, as an important intermediate, will further expand the market space.

​​​​​​Electronics, mechanical processing, food manufacturing, automobile manufacturing and other fields are the terminal markets for octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane. In the field of electronics and electrical, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane can be used to manufacture solar panels, LCD displays, optical sensors, electronic chips, etc.; in the field of mechanical processing, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane can be used to produce silicone adhesives. , widely used in welding parts and transmission devices. In the future, with in-depth research and technological advancement, the application scope of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane in my country will be further expanded, and its industry prosperity will be further enhanced.

There are many octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane manufacturers in my country, and the main market participants include Hesheng Silicon Industry, Xin’an Co., Ltd., Hengxing Technology, Silicon Bao Technology, Blue Star Chemical, etc. Inner Mongolia Hengxing Chemical, a holding subsidiary of Hengxing Technology, is promoting the “120,000 tons annual high-performance silicone polymer project”. The project includes octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, mixed methylcyclosiloxane and other products. Currently, the project has Entering the trial production stage.

Industry analysts said that as an important organic silicon intermediate, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane has strong application demand and industry development trends Keep improving. In the future, as the development of downstream industries accelerates, my country’s octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane market space will further expand. In terms of market competition, there are many octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane manufacturers in my country, and companies with large-scale production capabilities for high-performance products will occupy a larger space in the market in the future.
