Recently, exciting news emerged from the Cangshan Industrial Agglomeration Area in Tiantai County. The main building of the "Annual Production of 20,000 Tons of Silicone Oil and Deep Processing Project" of Zhejiang Tiansilicon New Materials Co., Ltd. was officially capped. Since its commencement in August last year, the project has been progressing smoothly. The pile foundation project has been completed, more than half of the civil construction has been finished, and the equipment procurement and installation plans are being advanced in an orderly manner. It is expected to enter the trial production stage by the end of this year. Relying on a team of senior experts in the silicone industry and years of R & D accumulation, Tiansilicon New Materials focuses on high - end product areas such as methyl silicone oil, functional silicone oil, and silicone artificial leather. Its products have characteristics such as high - temperature aging resistance, environmental protection, and safety, and are widely used in textiles, automotive interiors, cosmetics, daily necessities, and other fields. For example, silicone artificial leather forms upstream and downstream collaboration with automotive interior enterprises in the park, further extending the industrial chain; functional silicone oil meets EU environmental protection standards with green production processes, targets high - end foreign markets, and helps Chinese cosmetics enhance their export competitiveness. The project plans to adopt a fully automated continuous production line and a DCS distributed control system to achieve closed - loop operation of the entire process of raw material transportation, reaction control, and distillation separation. Only a few employees are required in the control center to manage the entire production line, greatly improving production efficiency. At the same time, the production process achieves "zero discharge" of wastewater and ultra - low emission of waste gas, and is equipped with an automatic monitoring system to ensure that all environmental protection indicators meet the standards. With a total investment of 225 million yuan, the project will become an important growth pole for the silicone new material industry in Tiantai County after it is put into production. Mao Kaibiao, the initiator of the project, said that the sentiment for his hometown and the industry prospects prompted him to return, and the strong support of the local government has also made the enterprise worry - free in project construction and product R & D. In addition, the market size of silicone oil in China reached 11.034 billion yuan in 2024, and the global market size reached 26.834 billion yuan. With the continuous progress of science and technology, the application of silicone oil in medical, electronics, and other fields is also becoming more and more extensive. For example, the Ophthalmology Medical Treatment Center of the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region successfully treated a patient with retinal detachment through "vitrectomy + silicone oil tamponade in the vitreous cavity"; the modified hydrogen - containing silicone oil patent applied for by Guangzhou Baiyun Technology can improve the thermal stability of thermal conductive gels. These fully demonstrate the important role and development potential of silicone oil in different fields. The advancement of the Tiantai silicone oil project is not only an important practice of Tiantai County's "Industrial Eastward Expansion" strategy but also an epitome of the development of China's silicone new material industry. With the commissioning of more similar projects, China's silicone new material industry is expected to occupy a more important position in the global market.
