Acyloxysilanes are functional silanes, with the largest demand in the field of synthetic rubber.

Acyloxysilane refers to a silane containing two or more silicon functional groups. Its chemical formula is C5H12O3Si. It is an organic silicon compound. Acyloxysilane has the advantages of good hydrophilicity, strong adsorption capacity, good weather resistance, and high reactivity. As a functional silane, it is widely used in many fields such as synthetic rubber, construction engineering, surface treatment, and glass fiber.

Methacryloyloxysilane is a representative product of acyloxysilane. It has the characteristics of chemical corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, water resistance, etc., and is a commonly used functional silane. After years of development, my country’s methacryloxysilane technology has continued to advance and has become a major producer and consumer country. Its products not only meet the needs of the local market, but are also sold overseas. At present, Chinese companies have launched a variety of high-performance methacryloxysilane products. In the future, as the demand for segmented product applications increases, the prosperity of the acyloxysilane industry will increase.

According to the “2023-2028 China Acyloxysilane Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center , acyloxysilanes are functional silanes. Functional silanes are widely used in rubber, adhesives, composite materials and other fields. my country’s functional silanes industry has entered a mature development stage, with many market participants and continuous expansion of production capacity. In 2022, my country’s functional silanes production capacity will reach 718,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 21.9%. In the future, as the development of the functional silane industry accelerates, the market space for acyloxysilane will further expand.

The field of synthetic rubber has the largest demand for acyloxysilane, which can be used to prepare butadiene rubber, polysulfide rubber, etc. In recent years, with the increasing application demand for rubber products such as automobile tires, aircraft tires, wires and cables, the synthetic rubber market space has continued to expand. In 2022, my country’s synthetic rubber market will reach nearly 75 billion yuan. Acyloxysilane can be used as rubber additives such as thickeners and adhesion promoters. Benefiting from the increasingly strong downstream demand, the development of the acyloxysilane industry will accelerate.

The main manufacturers of acyloxysilane in my country include Jianghan New Materials, Jiangsu Cathay, Hongbai New Materials, etc. Jianghan New Materials focuses on the R&D, production and sales of functional silane intermediates, functional silanes and other products. Its main products include acyloxysilanes, alkylsilanes, sulfur-containing silanes, vinyl silanes, etc. According to the annual report of Jianghan New Materials Enterprise, the company will achieve revenue of 3.31 billion yuan in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 30.6%.

Industry analysts said that acyloxysilane, as a functional silane, is widely used in many fields and will accompany the synthetic rubber industry in the future. As the development speed accelerates, its market demand will further grow. Methacryloyloxysilane has excellent performance and is a representative product of acyloxysilane. It is expected that in the future, as local companies continue to exert their efforts, my country’s acyloxysilane production technology will continue to innovate and make breakthroughs, and the market share of high-performance products will increase by then.
