1、 Market and Production Dynamics
Supply and revenue situation
Recently, due to changes in upstream raw material DMC prices, silicone oil production enterprises are facing cost pressure, with transaction prices close to the cost line, resulting in low profit margins, insufficient production power, and continuous supply reduction. This situation may also have a certain impact on the phenyl silicone oil market.


New project expansion
Liaoning Xinbang New Materials Co., Ltd. has constructed a high-end benzyl silicone oil and phenyl end capping agent series product expansion and renovation project in the Fine Chemical Industry Park of Liaodong Bay New Area, Panjin, Liaoning. The project includes the construction of a high-end benzyl silicone oil production facility and the modification of some facilities to adapt to the production of phenyl end capping agents. This expansion project will help improve the production capacity and quality of phenyl silicone oil.


2、 Product Performance and Application
Performance characteristics
Phenyl silicone oil is a product formed by replacing some methyl groups in methyl silicone oil with phenyl groups. It has excellent properties such as heat resistance, weather resistance, aging resistance, as well as special high and low temperature resistance, lubricity, high refractive index, and radiation resistance.
With the increase of phenyl content in the molecular structure, the high temperature resistance, radiation resistance, lubricity, and solubility in solvents of silicone oil all significantly increase, but the low temperature resistance may decrease.


application area 
Phenyl silicone oil has a wide range of applications in multiple fields. For example, silicone oil with low phenyl content is particularly suitable for applications with high cold resistance requirements; Silicone oils with medium and high benzene content can be used in various fields such as mold release agents, gas-liquid chromatography carriers, heat treatment oils, thermal oils, and high and low temperature resistant lubricating oils for electrical and electronic equipment due to their heat stability and excellent radiation resistance.
In addition, phenyl silicone oil is widely used as an additive in shampoo, cosmetics and other care products and cosmetics due to its good compatibility with various components of cosmetics and unique high gloss.


3、 Industry Development Trends
Structural contradictions
The current silicone oil industry is facing structural contradictions in its products, with overcapacity at the low-end and insufficient supply at the high-end. Therefore, the government strongly encourages the development of deep processed products such as phenyl silicone oil, amino silicone oil, and polyether modified silicone oil at the policy level.


Domestic substitution
In the past two years, domestic enterprises have made great progress in the domestic substitution of modified silicone oil and high-quality silicone oil. In the future, domestic enterprises are expected to make more breakthroughs in high-end silicone oil products.
In summary, as a high-end silicone oil product with excellent performance and wide application fields, phenyl silicone oil has attracted much attention in terms of market and production dynamics, product performance and application, and industry development trends. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous development of the market, phenyl silicone oil is expected to play an important role in more fields.
