Recently, ethylene based double head (also known as organosilicon ethylene based double head agent, tetramethyldivinyl disiloxane) has emerged as a rising star in the organosilicon market, with prices soaring significantly, attracting high attention from the industry. This change not only highlights the important position of vinyl double heads in the organic silicon industry chain, but also indicates that a new round of competition in the organic silicon market is taking shape.


It is reported that vinyl double head is a functional organic silicon additive with the chemical formula C8H18OSi2. It appears as a colorless and transparent liquid, soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in water. As a crosslinking agent and end capping agent, vinyl double heads play a crucial role in the production process of products such as resins, rubber, and silicone oil. In recent years, with the rapid development of downstream industries, the market demand for vinyl double heads has continued to grow, and production capacity has also been expanding.


However, recently there has been a rare surge in the price of ethylene based double heads. According to market data, starting from the end of 2024, the price of vinyl double head has rapidly increased from the lowest point of 49500 yuan/ton this year to 73000-78000 yuan/ton by early 2025, with a growth rate of over 50%. This change has made vinyl double heads the "price king" in the silicone market, and has also sparked extensive discussions in the industry about their future trends.


Analysts point out that there are two main reasons for the price increase of ethylene based double heads. On the one hand, with the rapid development of downstream industries, the market demand for vinyl double heads continues to increase, while capacity expansion is limited by environmental protection, technology, and other factors, leading to an intensification of market supply and demand contradictions. On the other hand, the increase in raw material costs is also an important factor driving up the price of vinyl double heads. In recent years, with the global economic recovery and rising inflationary pressures, raw material prices have generally increased, which has directly pushed up the production cost of ethylene based double heads.


The soaring price of vinyl double head not only affects the procurement costs of downstream enterprises, but also promotes the restructuring of the organic silicon industry chain. Some downstream companies are beginning to seek alternatives to reduce costs, while others are strengthening cooperation with ethylene based double head manufacturers to jointly respond to market changes. At the same time, ethylene based double head manufacturers are actively expanding production capacity, optimizing production processes, and improving product quality to meet market demand.


Looking ahead, the ethylene based double head market will still face many challenges and opportunities. On the one hand, with the advancement of technology and the development of downstream industries, the application fields of ethylene based double heads will continue to expand, and market demand will also continue to grow. On the other hand, factors such as capacity expansion and rising raw material costs will continue to affect the price and supply-demand relationship of vinyl double heads. Therefore, ethylene based double head manufacturers need to closely monitor market trends, strengthen technological research and innovation, improve product quality and competitiveness, in order to cope with future market changes and challenges.


The soaring price of ethylene based double head not only highlights its important position in the organic silicon industry chain, but also reminds the industry to pay more attention to market dynamics and technological innovation. In the future, with the continuous development of the organic silicon market, vinyl double heads will continue to play a key role and provide strong support for the development of downstream industries.
