Global
Silicone Fluids Market: Description
Silicone
fluids are colorless and transparent liquids. These liquids exhibit
high resistance to heat and cold. Silicone fluids are also moisture
resistant. Over a wide temperature range, silicone fluids exhibit
very low change in viscosity. Additionally silicone fluids are noted
for various other characteristics like mold releasability, lubricity
and defoaming properties. Silicone fluids can withstand low
temperatures and maintain flow ability even at -65°C. Moreover,
silicone fluids have few or no adverse effects on metals and other
materials. Silicone fluids are almost completely inactive show no
effects on alkali solutions at room temperatures. These fluids have
considerably lower surface tension as compared to water and common
synthetic oils. Silicone fluids have strong and more stable bonds;
hence, they are more resistant to harsh environmental processing and
operating conditions. These fluids are non-toxic and inert and also
permeable to gas and water vapor.

Report Preview:
Silicone
fluids have a wide range of industrial applications, which include
power transmission, medical support cushions, lubricants; silicone
aerosol sprays, damping fluids, additives for automotive polishes and
dressings, heat transfer fluids, high temperature oil baths and water
repellent treatment of textiles and powders. A few silicone fluids
like simethicone are anti-foaming agents owing to their low surface
tension. These fluids are primarily used in industrial applications
such as distillation or fermentation in order to get rid of excess
foam. Silicone fluids were also used in the automobile fan clutch
assemblies before electric cooling fans replaced them. Silicone
fluids also find medical applications wherein the fluid is added to
the consumer product to control flatus. These fluids are also used as
a substitute for vitreous fluids to treat difficult cases of retinal
detachment such as proliferative vitroratinopathy, large retinal
tears and penetrating ocular trauma.
Global
Silicone Fluids Market: Drivers and Restraints
The
silicone market is expected to grow at healthy rate in the near
future due to its widespread application base. These fluids are
expected to be the leading type of silicone product in the market.
Growth of the silicone fluids market is expected to be propelled
further due to its extensive use in laboratories and numerous
opportunities in the medical field. The demand is likely to further
increase owing to the use of liquid silicone rubber in electronics
and in machinery due to the ease in its manufacturing process,
flexibility and its high ability to form precision parts. Owing to
its use in high growth applications such as solar cells and light
emitting diodes, a wide range of opportunities are available for the
silicone gels market in the near future. Additionally silicone gels
are also used as the basis for breast implant products and these
fluids are anticipated to continually gain market share at the
expense of their saline filled substitutes.
Global
Silicone Fluids Market: Geographical Dynamics
India
and China are expected to be the fastest growing markets for silicone
fluids in the future. Technological developments in the U.S. and
continued innovation are expected to increase the demand for these
fluids in the U.S. and in Europe. However, owing to the market
maturity of silicone fluids in the North American and European
regions, the opportunities for the fluid will be limited and instead
the focus of the market growth is likely to shift to Asia Pacific and
RoW.
The
main companies that manufacture silicone fluids include Dow Corning
Corporation, Gelest Incorporated, Quantum Silicones, KCC Corporation,
Clariant International limited, Caledonia Investments and Saint
Gobain among other companies.
