Global Epoxy-terminated Silicone Oil Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global Epoxy-terminated Silicone Oil Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

The epoxy-terminated Silicone Oil is an epoxy-terminated linear polydimethylsiloxane. Due to its strong reactivity, the epoxy group can react with other functional groups and can be used as a modifier, additive, and dilution of various resins. It has a wide range of uses in the textile, leather and Resin Cross-linking Agents industries. In terms of textile finishing, the end epoxy silicone oil is the most important raw material for ternary copolymerized silicone oil.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Epoxy-terminated Silicone Oil market finds that the global Epoxy-terminated Silicone Oil market reached a value of USD 240.87 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 363.9 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.12% during the forecast period.

With technology advances, Epoxy-terminated Silicone Oil industry will grow rapidly

Epoxy-terminated Silicone Oil, as a non-toxic and pollution-free green product, has been widely used in fiber finishing and resin modification. With the continuous development of economy and the progress of production technology, Epoxy-terminated Silicone Oil will be more widely used.

With the development of multifunctional products, the demand for Epoxy-terminated Silicone Oil is increasing.

The novel polysiloxanes developed in the future, while maintaining the original excellent characteristics, should also have some new additional characteristics at the same time, such as flame retardant and fire resistance, anti-ultraviolet absorption, water and oil resistance, etc. With downstream demand continues to increase, the consumption of Epoxy-terminated Silicone Oil is expected to increase.

Raw material price fluctuations and production process restrictions

Epoxy-terminated silicone oil is generally prepared by a hydrosilylation method, that is, a hydrogen-terminated silicone oil and an unsaturated epoxy compound are prepared by a hydrosilylation reaction under the platinum catalyst. Although this method is relatively simple, it is affected by many factors such as the quality, structure, catalyst, and process parameters of the hydrogen-terminated silicone oil. As a result, the yield of epoxy-terminated silicone oil and the final product are facing major challenges. In addition, due to the constraints of raw material sources, these processes are mostly used as a supplement to some special structures of epoxy-terminated hydrocarbon-based silicone oil synthesis methods.
With the price of raw materials rises, manufacturers' manufacturing costs will increase, thereby reducing the profits available to manufacturers.
