Modified silicone fluids are liquids with additional functionality beyond the already fine properties of common dimethyl silicone fluid. This is achieved through the introduction of various organic groups. Depending on the organic group, silicone fluids can be given properties of water-solubility, compatibility or reactivity with various organic materials, paint ability, and greater lubricity. As modified silicones are flexible in the wide range of temperature, they adhere to wide range of substrates compared with other technologies. In Japan, they have been used as sealants for building industry since 1970s. And by 1990s, they expanded to such housing applications as tile installation and flooring. Currently, they even expand to automotive, vessel, commercial building, and others.
The global modified silicone market is witnessing significant growth owing to expansion of end-use industries across the globe and the increase in demand for high performance silicones. Moreover, the overall market is also being propelled by augmentation and modernization of the coating and construction industry. Modified silicone polymers delivers excellent performance on vinyl, fiber cement, aluminum and wood siding. They combine the best characteristics of polyurethane, silicone and water-based products, offering permanent flexibility. Also, they are excellent for applying in wet weather and low temperature applications for caulking around exterior windows, doors and vents. This, in turn, is likely to boost the expansion of modified silicone market size in the following years.
The report analyses the global modified silicone market based on product, application, application and geography.
Based on product, the market is categorized into reactive silicone fluid and non-reactive silicone fluid. Reactive silicone fluids are siloxanes terminated with reactive groups. They include, e.g., OH polymers (hydrolyzates) or silicone fluids with amino or epoxy groups. Silicone fluids are often used in the form of aqueous emulsions.
Modified silicone market finds application in coating, construction, consumer care, performance additive and others. Silicone fluids are ideal for use as hydraulic or transformer oils, damping liquids, diffusion pump fluids, thermally resistant lubricants, dielectrics, defoamers and release agents for high-performance digital printing machines. They can also be used for hydrophobic treatment of glass and mineral wool. Other important applications are to be found in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and the textile industry.
By geography, the global modified silicone market is studied across the countries of key regions such as, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and rest of the world regions which includes Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific accounted for the largest market share in 2018. Flourishing personal care, construction, textile and paints & coatings industries are responsible for this growth. The industries in North America are witnessing growth owing to the increasing per capita expenditure and growing urbanization. In addition, several initiatives undertaken by the governments of different countries of the region to attract investments from various international companies are also expected to propel the growth of the modified silicone market during the forecast period.
The leading modified silicone market players are BASF SE, Bluestar Silicones, BRB International BV, Dow Corning, Evonik, Momentive, Shin Etsu, Siltech and WACKER. Market players are involved in product launches and collaboration agreements to exploit maximum revenue potential in global silicone surfactants market.
