Product Definition:
A silicone fluid is a hydrocarbon-based, inert material that is used as a lubricant and heat transfer medium. Silicone fluids are also used in cosmetics and medical applications.
Straight Silicone Fluid:
Straight silicone fluid, also known as monomeric silicones or single-component polymers, are a class of synthetic elastomers. They have high resistance to solvents and chemicals and possess low heat distortion properties. These fluids are used in various end-use industries including automotive & transportation, building & construction materials, medical devices & equipment among others owing to their beneficial characteristics such as flexibility at low temperatures and high mechanical strength among other properties.
Modified Silicone Fluid:
Modified silicone fluid is a type of silicone oil that has been processed to remove most of its natural content. It contains very small amount (less than 10%) of natural content which makes it suitable for use in food and other end-use industries. The product finds application as an emulsifier, stabilizer, anti-foaming agent and additive in various food products such as bakery & confectionery, dairy products ice creams sauces etc.
Application Insights:
The home care segment dominated the global silicone fluid market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The rising demand for silicone fluids from various end-use industries including automotive, medical and healthcare is expected to drive the growth of this segment over the forecast period.
Silicone fluids are used as lubricants and coolants by several industries such as food processing, metalworking, paper coating and textile finishing among others. These liquids provide excellent thermal resistance which makes them suitable for use in industrial applications at high temperatures. They are also used extensively across several other end-use industries owing to their superior properties including flexibility, durability & strength when exposed to heat or cold along with low maintenance costs among others.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounts for a major share of global population, which has led to an increase in demand for personal care products among people. Furthermore, rising disposable income levels have resulted in increased spending on luxury cars and high-end residential structures, thereby driving the demand for silicone fluids across various applications.
The presence of multinational companies such as Dow Corning; Chemtura Corporation; Nippon Paint Holdings Co., Ltd.; Eastman Chemical Co.; Sibur Holding BV; Evonik Industries AG; PPG Industries Inc.; BASF SE &Co., Ltd.; FMC Corporation has contributed significantly toward regional growth.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for silicone fluids in the automotive and aerospace industries due to their excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties.
- Rising demand from the construction industry for sealants, adhesives, coatings, and elastomers.
- Growing use of silicone fluids in personal care products such as hair conditioners, shampoos, and skin creams/lotions owing to their moisturizing properties.
- Increasing penetration of silicone fluids in emerging markets such as China and India due to rising disposable incomes and growing awareness about the benefits of these products.
