Technical issues that need to be overcome in silicone
Although silicone technology has made significant progress, there are still some technical problems that need to be overcome:
Cyclic Oligosiloxane Contamination:
The synthesis process of silicone is susceptible to contamination by cyclic oligosiloxanes, which may cause potential harm to the human body and the environment. Currently, solving this contamination problem remains an important challenge in the field of silicone synthesis.
Scientists are exploring ways to reduce or eliminate the production of cyclic oligosiloxanes by improving synthesis processes and using new catalysts.
The gap between technical level and international advanced level:
Although the domestic production capacity of silicone monomers has reached a certain scale, there is still a certain gap between the main technical indicators and the international advanced level.
It is necessary to strengthen technology research and development and innovation to improve product quality and performance to meet the needs of domestic and foreign markets.
Lack of varieties and reliance on imports of special varieties:
Although my country has made great progress in methyl silicone monomers, the synthesis and application development of downstream silicone materials are still relatively backward, and special varieties and mid-to-high-end products mainly rely on imports.
It is necessary to strengthen the R&D and application development of downstream products to increase product diversity and added value.
The degree of integration between upstream and downstream industries is low:
The organic silicon industry has a low degree of upstream and downstream integration and poor risk resistance. It is necessary to strengthen the collaborative cooperation between the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain and promote the development of the industry in the direction of high-end and clustering.
Market competition is fierce:
As the number of domestic and foreign silicone manufacturers continues to increase, market competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Enterprises need to strengthen brand building, improve product quality and service levels to occupy a favorable position in the fierce market competition.
