Widespread Applications of Functional Silanes with Sustained Growth in Various Fields


There are many varieties of functional silanes, and their applications mainly depend on the functional group variety and structure, including composite materials, rubber processing, plastics, adhesives, coatings, and surface treatments. From the perspective of global consumption of functional silanes, rubber processing accounts for 32.4%, composite materials for 18.5%, adhesives for 16.7%, plastic processing for 14.8%, and coatings and surface treatments for 11.1%. The development of the functional silane industry is closely related to the macro economy, as well as to the development of building materials, electronics, automotive, textile, and glass fiber industries.


The popularity of green tires drives the demand for sulfur-containing silane


Green tires refer to radial tires that use new materials to reduce car energy consumption, with characteristics such as low rolling resistance and high wear resistance. Sulfur-containing silane is the core raw material that guarantees the characteristics of green tires. Its main function is to enhance the bonding ability between silica and rubber molecules, promote rubber vulcanization, create a good coupling effect and strengthening effect between polymer and inorganic filler, increase the wear resistance of rubber, and reduce the hysteresis and rolling resistance.


The revival of the real estate cycle drives the steady growth of demand for functional silane


Functional silane products have three main applications in the construction industry, including sealant adhesives and building waterproofing. Functional organic silane is effective in improving the dry adhesion of various substrates to rubber or resin, including glass, concrete, stone, alloys, etc. It can also improve the wet adhesion retention rate. The silane-based building waterproofing material has strong permeability and can react with active groups or itself on the microporous walls of building materials, firmly adhering to the surface of substrates, thereby greatly improving their waterproof, anti-fouling, and durability properties.


The rapid development of aerogel industry, functional silicone is its organic silicon source


Aerogel materials have excellent thermal insulation and sound insulation performance and are widely used in energy equipment, transportation, building materials, clothing, and other fields. We estimate that the global market space is above the billion-dollar level. The applications of aerogel are in the growth stage in multiple fields. Since the technology of aerogel has only gradually improved in recent years, most of the application fields are still in the early stage of promotion and growth, with the energy field, building construction, clothing, daily chemical, LNG pipelines, and other industries developing rapidly. At present, the mature application areas are mainly in oil and gas pipelines, refining projects, and industrial insulation.
