Silicon oil-based sealants and adhesives are used in the construction, automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries to seal joints, bond substrates, and encapsulate electronic components. Moreover, silicon oil serves as a release agent in manufacturing processes such as molding, casting, and extrusion to facilitate the easy removal of finished products from molds and dies. Its low surface tension and non-stick properties prevent adhesion between the product and the mold, resulting in smoother release and improved production efficiency. Rising construction activities in Canada is driving the demand for silicone oil. As per the Statistics Canada, investment in building construction rose 1.7% to $19.8 billion in November 2023. The residential sector grew 2.2% to $13.7 billion, while non-residential sector investment increased 0.4% to $6.0 billion.

Silicon oil plays a vital role in the healthcare sector, particularly in ophthalmology, where it is used as a tamponade agent in retinal detachment surgeries. Its high viscosity and refractive index make it ideal for providing long-term support to the retina post-surgery, aiding in the healing process and preventing further detachment. Additionally, due to its biocompatibility and inertness, silicon oil finds applications in medical devices such as syringe lubricants and parenteral formulations. Increasing medical device industry in India translate into higher demand for silicone oil.

With a rising demand for personal care products such as skincare, haircare, cosmetics, and toiletries in Mexico, there will be an increased consumption of silicone oil as a key ingredient in these formulations.
