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.

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...

Defoamer Test Method

Defoamer testing methods are divided into dynamic defoaming and static defoaming tests. If your foaming environment is different, the recommended test methods are different. There are three main types of foam experiments to characterize the activity of defoamers. Persistence. As we have different experimental conditions in different laboratories and the experiments used in our research to obtain results from existing literature, we will introduce these experiments below. Other methods are sometimes used depending on the particular application. 1． Ross-Miles Foam Tester Features: Tested for strong foaming environments. This experiment is widely used for characterization (1) Foaming of surfactant solution (2) Research and application of foam stability in the presence of defoamer In the foaming system, the defoaming performance test was carried out by circulating bubbling by a Ros...

Silicone oil is so widely used! Let’s learn silicone oil production technology

Silicone is so widely used! Let's learn silicone oil production technology Silicone oil is a kind of linear small molecule silicone polymer with Si-O-Si as the main chain and organic groups in the side chain. It is widely used in textile, daily chemical, mechanical processing, chemical, electrical and electronic, medical and health, etc. industry. Silicon oil is usually kept in a liquid state at room temperature. As the molecular weight increases, the viscosity also increases, so viscosity is an important physical property index of silicone oil. 2017 China's silicone oil consumption situation Classification of silicone oil Silicone oil is generally divided into two categories: general silicone oil and modified silicone oil. There is also a class of co-modified silicone oils and derivatives - ternary modified silicone oil Silicone oil properties Silicone oil is generally a colorless, odorless, non-toxic, non-volatile liquid with the following characteristics...
