Recently, the silicone oil industry has witnessed a series of remarkable new developments. Multiple enterprises are actively making arrangements and have achieved significant progress in technological innovation, production capacity expansion, and market expansion, injecting new vitality into the continuous development of the industry. Hangzhou Chongyao Technology Development Co., Ltd., a specialized subsidiary of Xinan Group focusing on the modified silicone oil segment of the silicone industry, has maintained a strong development momentum since its official production in 2018. Currently, its production capacity of modified silicone oil and deep - processed silicone oil products has reached 40,000 tons per year, making it the largest production base for special functional silicone materials in East China. Chongyao Technology's leading products, special modified silicone oil and special silicone release agents, have performed outstandingly in the domestic market, with market shares exceeding 20% and 15% respectively, both ranking among the top three in the industry. Especially in the fields of optical fiber special coatings and food - contact release agents, it holds a leading position. In 2024, the company's operating income increased steadily. Its silicone release agents are widely used in many fields such as food packaging, medical consumables, tapes, self - adhesive labels, express envelopes, commercial advertising materials, and safety signs, and its market influence continues to expand. In its development process, Chongyao Technology has achieved a major transformation from following and imitating imported products to custom - making products for customers. Today, the company's products can not only compete with international brands in terms of performance but also have a cost advantage, showing strong market competitiveness in import substitution. At the same time, Chongyao Technology has successfully transformed from a single - product supplier to a comprehensive solution provider. For example, in its cooperation with Zhejiang Huafeng New Material Co., Ltd., the two sides have jointly achieved a breakthrough in innovative applications, further enhancing Chongyao Technology's industry reputation. Looking to the future, Chongyao Technology plans to continue to strengthen its competitiveness based on its existing service areas, focus on intensive development, pursue the improvement of quality and efficiency, and is committed to achieving more breakthroughs in application innovation and moving towards a technology - service - oriented enterprise. At the same time, Jitaigufen (002909) has made important progress in the research and development of liquid - cooled silicone oil. On April 2, Jitaigufen disclosed on the interactive platform that its liquid - cooled silicone oil product is still in the research and development stage and has not yet entered large - scale production and market launch. Nevertheless, the company has invested significant resources in technology research and development, investing 13 million yuan in the construction of the Anqing Synthesis Laboratory and establishing an 8,000 - ton silicone oil flexible production line, laying a solid foundation for the research and development of liquid - cooled silicone oil. The company's internal technical team is strong, bringing together 63 masters, doctors, and external experts, and has sufficient technical reserves in emerging fields. Liquid - cooled silicone oil technology is regarded as one of the key technologies for future electric vehicle and high - performance vehicle cooling systems. Compared with traditional coolants, liquid - cooled silicone oil has significant advantages in improving thermal efficiency and extending service life. It can reduce energy consumption while ensuring the temperature control effect of batteries or engines, bringing more economic value to consumers. With the continuous expansion of the electric vehicle and new energy market, the market potential of liquid - cooled silicone oil is huge. The research and development progress of Jitaigufen is expected to open up new market space for the company, increase product added value, and have a profound impact on the development of the entire automotive cooling industry. In terms of project construction, the construction of the second - phase silicone oil project of Zhejiang Hengye Cheng New Materials has officially started. Based on the successful completion and operation of the first - phase silicone resin project, this project is an important measure for the enterprise to further promote the integration of industry, education, and research and optimize its product layout. The project will build a new silicone oil production workshop and supporting facilities. After being put into production, it is expected to add an annual production capacity of 15,000 tons of silicone oil and 3,000 tons of liquid rubber base rubber. These products will be widely used in industries such as new energy, coatings, daily chemicals, and textiles. Currently, the project has completed preliminary processes such as civil construction piling and foundation pouring, and is about to enter the upper - part construction stage of the main structure. It is planned to achieve the capping of the civil construction structure before the Spring Festival in 2025, start equipment installation in March, and conduct trial production in June. Hengye Cheng New Materials has laid a solid foundation for the market promotion of the silicone oil project by visiting customer enterprises on - site, accurately docking customer needs, and deepening business cooperation. In the future, the company will accelerate project construction, further deepen the layout of the downstream silicone industry chain, and scientifically plan its development direction, enrich its product system, and enhance its comprehensive competitiveness through technology introduction, strategic cooperation, and other means. In addition, in terms of patent achievements, Suzhou Zhongke Kemei Technology Co., Ltd. has obtained a patent entitled "A Vacuum Oil - Filling Equipment" (authorization announcement number CN 222718002 U, application date July 2024). This patent aims to solve the problem of inconsistent rhythms in the two work processes of silicone oil refining and filling. Through innovative equipment design, it realizes a more efficient and accurate silicone oil processing process. Warner Saint Dragon (Ningbo) Co., Ltd. has also obtained a patent for "An Oil Passage Structure of the Active Plate of a Silicone Oil Clutch" (authorization announcement number CN 222731990 U, application date July 2024). The oil passage structure designed by this patent can effectively prevent the accumulation of silicone oil on the inner peripheral wall of the housing and prevent the reduction of silicone oil in the meshing area of the working chamber, thus significantly improving the control accuracy of the output torque and output speed of the silicone oil clutch and bringing technological upgrades to related industries such as automotive manufacturing. In summary, the silicone oil industry is showing a good trend of innovation - driven and diversified development. Whether it is the technological research and development breakthroughs of enterprises or the steady progress of project construction, it will provide strong support for the application expansion and market growth of the silicone oil industry in more fields, and promote the industry to develop in a higher - quality and more innovative direction.
