Global silicone sealant market analysis

 The early 1960s, silicone building sealant abroad had used in commercial buildings, because of its excellent high temperature resistance, resistance to UV and ozone aging properties, application has not yet 30 years of aging and adhesion phenomenon downgrade ; and other organic sealing material life only 5--10 years; therefore, silicone sealant developed rapidly. 1992 US silicone sealant output value of 325 million US dollars, accounting for 22.8 percent of GDP sealant; and 2% -6% annual growth rate. Japan silicone sealant development, although late, but rapid development, especially modified silicone sealant production since 1978, has grown rapidly, to become Japan's largest amount of sealant, in recent years, remains 10% -20% the annual growth rate.

　　
　　In order to effectively promote the development of national silicone sealant industry, a number of countries around the world to develop the relevant standard silicone sealant, for the maintenance of an orderly development of the market, to promote the further advancement of the industry and the future development of the industry to grow and have a more active role ʱ?? US silicone sealant production, use, export powerhouse. US product standards and test method standards, etc. are a world leader.
　　
　　Formulate silicone sealant standard US starting in the 1960s, and set up a special body - building joint sealant material committee responsible for drafting and publishing products and methods and other standard silicone sealant. US National Bureau of Standards in the 1960s enacted the world's first silicone sealant standard TT-S-001543 federal medium-term norms "silicone joint sealing mixture"; it is in terms of test items, indicators and test methods are related TT-S-00230 "single component elastic sealing mix" the same, which is still in use after many amendments; also Japan, Britain, Canada and other countries to develop standard reference template.With American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) continues to develop and expand its influence to the world's rapidly expanding product material as the classification standard, but contains the SR, PU, PS and other high-performance sealant products, including in addition to the building highways, airport runways and bridge joints, squares, parking lots and sidewalks joint sealants grading, classification, technical requirements and test methods; the standard since its first release after a number of amendments, many companies are currently using the world's largest and most influential sealant standards. ASTM in the revision released in 1998 on the basis of, has released the latest revision in 2001.
　　
Silicone rubber products, as a new environmentally friendly polymer materials, due to its high temperature resistance, electrical insulation, resistance to UV, weather, water, fire, corrosion, physiologically inert, bio-compatible with other products, etc. are not in contrast superior performance in many areas has been widely used for a typical new polymer materials, the major developed countries are encouraged to develop their own organic silicon industry.It is because silicone sealant because of its good resistance to high temperature resistance, electrical insulation, elasticity, aging resistance, resistance to ultraviolet radiation, ozone resistance, chemical stability and other characteristics, effectively promote industry standards countries, the economic growth, GDO growth, enhance the purchasing power of consumers, end-market demand and other factors driving growth, making the silicone sealant industry showed stable and rapid development trend. It expects 2015 global adhesives market will reach 25.4 billion pounds (about 41.5 billion US dollars), while the sealant market reached $ 6.35 billion. In the sealant, the 2009 Year - 2010 low VOC adhesives and green adhesives, sealants have been developed.Silicone and polyurethane products occupy a major share of the world market of sealants. By 2015, global silicone sealant market will reach $ 1.6 billion.
　　
At this stage, the silicone seal production and consumption, mainly in countries and regions United States, Europe and Japan. Dow Chemical Company has emerged as the United States, the US company GE, Dow Corning Corporation, USA Momentive Performance Materials Group, the US record high company, Wacker Chemie AG, Rhone Company, Toshiba Group and other companies around the world ʱ?? Silicone sealants in Europe and other countries with a longer development time, the market showed a steady trend. Since the developed countries, including silicone sealant products, including adhesives and sealants market has matured, and so in order to avoid the threat of declining sales, the majority of developing countries began to provide sustained shift in market demand.Some larger, stronger, better development of organic silicon production enterprises through the establishment of wholly-owned or joint venture of silicone sealants production base in developing countries, to set up branches or through agents, etc. into developing markets. The next few years, the global silicone sealant industry growth will be maintained at around 8%. Sealant market in Asia Pacific is expected by 2015 to reach $ 1.335 billion. Overall, a good silicone sealant industry development prospects.
　　
In recent years, with the rapid development of China's silicone sealant markets, foreign organic silicon production enterprises have set up production bases in China, while domestic manufacturers also sharply capacity expansion, silicone rubber seal upstream industry of organic silicon monomer and intermediate member companies have to extend to the downstream industry chain, gradually building silicone sealant production equipment. Making the domestic silicone sealant further increase market supply.
　　
Silicone sealant demand growth comes mainly from the strong development of its downstream industries including construction, automotive and transportation, electronic information and power, such as solar energy industry. In recent years, China's macro economy has been at a higher speed to maintain rapid growth, silicone sealant downstream industries in construction, automotive and other occupies an important position in the national economy, in support of national policy, with double-digit rate of rapid development, led to the growth of demand for silicone sealants.
　　
Silicone sealant largest consumer target is the construction industry. Both in the United States, Japan or Europe, the construction industry with average consumption of silicone rubber has primacy. With the deepening of China's urbanization development, the construction industry has been showing rapid growth momentum of development, silicone sealants in the construction industry demand presents long-term growth. Silicone sealants in the construction field applications currently include building walls, windows and doors sealed housing construction of energy-saving glass processing three aspects.In addition, silicone sealant because of its excellent performance, in terms of bonding and sealing automobile and other industries are also widely used, can guarantee the stability of parts and materials to work under harsh working conditions, and to extend their useful life. With the development of the automotive, electrical and electronics, solar energy and other industries, to silicone sealants demand rapid growth, its performance requirements continue to increase.
