Silicone | Life/Indus "Vitamin"


concept
    Silicone, that is, an organosilicon compound, refers to a compound containing Si-O bonds and having at least one organic group directly bonded to a silicon atom, and it is customary to use organic groups and silicon atoms through oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, and the like. The attached compound is also considered to be an organosilicon compound. Among them, polysiloxanes composed of silicon-oxygen bonds (-Si-0-Si-) are the most widely studied and most widely used organosilicon compounds, accounting for more than 90% of the total dosage. .


basic introduction
Silicone chemistry mainly studies the properties and reactivity of organosilicon compounds. An organosilicon compound is an organic compound containing a carbon-silicon bond. Similar to carbon, silicone is also a tetracoordinated tetrahedral structure.

In biomolecules, compounds containing carbon-silicon bonds have not been found. The first organosilicon compound was in 1863 by the French chemist Friedel C (French chemist, mineralogist. Strasbourg, former professor of chemistry at the University of Paris.) and American Chemistry James Krafts (Crafts J (American Boston chemist, sent to study with Friedel in 1861 to study the synthesis of organosilicon compounds) found together.


They reacted with silicon tetrachloride and diethylzinc to obtain tetraethylsilane. A simple carbon-silicon compound, silicon carbide, is an inorganic compound.

In recent years, China's consumption of organic silicon has maintained an average annual growth rate of double digits, and has now become the world's second largest consumer after the United States.

Silicone is an important part of the chemical new materials industry. It is an important basic material for the development of the seven strategic emerging industries proposed by the State Council. It has an irreplaceable role in many other chemical materials and is a veritable “industrial vitamin” and “ Technology catalyst."


China's organic silicon industry has formed a high-tech industry with many production enterprises, complete product categories, high correlation with other industries, and great development potential and market prospects. At present, the production technology level of organic silicon monomer is close to the international advanced level. Relying on domestic technology, the production capacity of organic silicon monomer in China has expanded rapidly in recent years. At present, China's organosilicon upstream products (organic silicon monomers) are basically saturated, and the main downstream products basically meet market demand.


Zhiyan Data Research Center (provides a comprehensive research portal for various industry research reports, investment prospects, market analysis, industry research reports, market assessment, industry information, investment information.) Data show: in the world organic silicon industry chain, China It is the most important upstream raw material supplier and the most important downstream product market. Bluestar Group (a professional company under China Chemical Industry Group Co., Ltd., which is led by materials science, life sciences and environmental science, is a global chemical material and specialty chemicals company) as a leading company in the domestic silicone industry. Going out of the strategy, acquired the silicone business of Rhodia, France, and became one of the top five silicone companies in the world. China's organic silicon industry is gradually transforming from a resource-rich country and a large market country to an industrial power.
