2018 Silicone Oil Price Trend

2018 Silicone Oil Price Trend

Silicone prices skyrocket

At the beginning of 2018, silicones continued to upgrade with an unstoppable rise. In the second quarter, they rose to the highest price in the past eight years. The whole industry is in full swing and the scenery is infinite.
Individual enterprises, silicone oil, 107 rubber, raw Glues, rubber compounds,and cracking materials companies are all full of pots. There are several factors in the skyrocketing factors:
First：There is no new capacity in the installation, everyone is happy to watch the 2018 market all the year;
Second：The overseas demand is strong, the export market continues to be good;
Third：The high market, prompting all the upstream and downstream personnel to enter the bargains Mode, hope to share a piece of this good market. The phenomenon of foaming has gradually become prominent in the rapid rise in prices.

Silicone prices plummeted

After July 2018, the domestic silicone market began to show a rational return. The downstream terminal enterprises were unable to bear the burden of rising costs, and gradually searched for alternative production. The consumption of organic silicon was reduced, and domestic demand declined invisibly. However, the ups and downs have been infected for a long time. The upstream manufacturers still insist on the high price. Some mid-stream enterprises and traders keep their prices tight with the pace of the big factories. The inventory is constantly backlogged. In July and August,this is the off-season, and the demand in the first half is strong. There is also a bubble, and downstream companies no longer blindly stock up and insist on purchasing on demand. The pressure on upstream manufacturers is gradually increasing.
At this time, the Sino-US trade war has affected the export of domestic enterprises,and the overseas market has fallen seriously. "Golden September and Silver 10" not only did not alleviate the silicone market, but pulled deeper into the abyss. In mid-October, the weekly decline reached 10,000 yuan / ton, causing panic in the
market. All enterprises except for the single-enterprise enterprises suffered heavy
losses. As 2018 is about to pass, the price of silicones will not rebound in this
plunging, and it is still at a low price.

invely-defoamers

Why Foam could be so inconvenient ? A light foam is generally not problematic in most applications however heavy foaming can often lead to various processing problems. These problems range from inaccurate readings from control and measuring equipment such as temperature, level and density controllers to poor mixing of reactants in chemical reaction vessels and products hanging in the foam, all too often leading to losses in production. Finally the presence of foaming can give a bad image of the way a process is operated in the eyes of a customer. The presence of foam in discharged effluent can cause complaints from local people and authorities even if the foam is harmless to people and the environment. How do silicone defoamers work ? Foam is a gas dispersion in a liquid or solid continuous phase. Foam iscreated by the surfactants which are at the air/liquid interface. Therefore air bubbles occur and are stabilised by the surfactants. Today, silicone antifoams are thebest solution to a...

How do we assess antifoam efficiency ?

How do we assess antifoam efficiency ? Quality of an antifoam is given by two main characteristics : • Knockdown ability or shock effect :Meaning the speed to destroy an existing foam. • Persistence or durability : Meaning the efficiency over time.   These two parameters can be assessed by several tests. The main test is the bubbling method. A graduated column with a glass frit in the bottom is required. Foaming water is poured in the column and air at constant flowrate is introduced through the glass frit in the column. Foam is generated by the air and starts to travel up the column. At a determined level of foam, antifoam is injected. By this method several antifoaming agents can be tested. A graph reporting foam height vs time is very helpful to establish the knockdown ability and the persistence for each product. The selected antifoam is the product with the best compromise between shock effect and durability       Environmental performance   Silicone antifo...
