Silicone synthetic leather will be the new track of silicone in the next 10 years

According to foreign media news, a number of first innovations will appear at the 2022 new product launch of the global head luggage brand. The material is silicone synthetic leather. The person in charge of the brand said: The application of silicone synthetic leather to handbags, luggage, and wallets has great prospects.   Experts in the industry believe that consumers all over the world are very fond of leather products, especially leather car interior parts. As a high-end and beautiful material, leather has a wide range of uses and long-lasting charm.   Due to the limited number of animal furs that can be processed, and because of the needs of animal protection, its output is far from being able to meet the various needs of mankind. Silicone synthetic leather will be the new track for silicone in the next 10 years. With the deployment of giants one after another, applications such as automotive interiors and high-end furniture will explode, which is estimated to drive the added value of the 100 billion silicone industry.   Silicone leather is a synthetic leather product that looks and feels like leather and can be used instead. It is usually made of fabric as the base and coated with 100% silicone polymer. There are mainly two types of silicone resin synthetic leather and silicone rubber synthetic leather. Silicone leather has no peculiar smell, hydrolysis resistance, weather resistance, environmental protection, easy cleaning, high and low temperature resistance, acid and alkali salt resistance, light resistance, heat aging resistance, yellowing resistance, tortuous resistance, Disinfection, strong color fastness and other advantages.

Latest developments from Wacker Chemie

On a recent media day, Christian Hartel, President and CEO of Wacker Chemie AG in Germany, said in an exclusive video interview with reporters from International Finance News that “the demand for chemical materials related to the sustainable development of energy will increase significantly in the next ten years. Growth, such as the application of silicone products in electric vehicles, cable accessories, the application of polysilicon in solar photovoltaic cells, and environmentally friendly building materials."   Boosted by the strong demand for organic silicon and other materials, Wacker Chemie’s sales in the third quarter of this year increased by 40% compared with the same period of the previous year. At about 6 billion euros, profits are expected to be between 1.2 billion and 1.4 billion euros.   In response to the recent electricity curtailment measures adopted by the Chinese market to limit corporate energy consumption, WACKER has recently raised the price of silicone products. In this regard, Christian Hartel said that energy limitation has had a significant impact on the supply of raw materials and prices. Although we have to pay higher prices, fortunately, WACKER is still able to purchase the required raw materials. "At present, customers can accept the current price increase, but it also depends on how far the price will increase in the future."   In order to expand production capacity in the Chinese market, WACKER recently announced the acquisition of 60% of Shandong Silicon Technology, which has become another case for a foreign-funded chemical company to deepen its localization strategy.   Paul Lindblad, President of WACKER Greater China, told reporters: “In my opinion, a relatively long-term solution lies in the reform of electricity prices. Value manufacturers.” He believes that this will also promote the development of the chemical industry, such as increasing the demand for polysilicon.   Christian Hartel said bluntly: WACKER is full of confidence in the future development of the Chinese market, and will continue to invest in the region, and will continue to support China's industrial upgrading and sustainable development with innovative products and solutions.

International shipping prices have a downward trend

The global silicone network on October 18: the price of sea freight cooling trend, recently, continued to rise in the price of sea freight appears to cool trend. Shanghai shipping company executives said that in the past four days, a 40-foot containers shipped from China to the United States on the west coast of the freight from slightly above the $8000 to around $15000, fell by almost half, and sent to the east coast of the freight is down from more than $20000 to less than $15000, down more than a quarter.   According to FBX data, the shipping price from China/East Asia to the west Coast of North America was $20,586 /FEU (40-foot container) on September 10, and has now dropped to $16,004 /FEU; Sea freight from China/East Asia to the East Coast of North America also fell to $19,421 /FEU from $22,173 /FEU on Sept. 10.   Recently, the price of shipping between China and the United States has indeed fallen, which undoubtedly makes China's foreign trade business owners who export to the United States "relieved", after all, the early freight has been comparable to the value of the goods.   Analysts believe that with the drop in freight prices, orders from Europe and the United States have dropped from the peak, forcing European and American buyers to shift their orders to supply chains such as India and Southeast Asia. The domestic power shortage has eased, and the price of upstream coal energy may lose the power to continue to rise, and the "double carbon" target will be completed.

The price of overseas silicon metal has plunged! What is metal silicon?

Most global commodities fell on September 20, and the VIX index, known as the "panic index," soared. Singapore iron ore futures fell sharply by more than 11%, hitting a new low since May 2020. Since setting a record high in May this year, the price of Singapore's iron ore futures has begun to plunge, and it has fallen about 60% from the high. It has become the commodity with the largest decline recently, and silicon metal has also fallen.   What is metal silicon? Metallic silicon, also known as crystalline silicon or industrial silicon, is mainly used as an additive for non-ferrous alloys. Metallic silicon is a product smelted from quartz and coke in an electric furnace. The main component of silicon is about 98% (in recent years, 99.99% of Si is also contained in metallic silicon). The remaining impurities are iron and aluminum. , Calcium, etc. The main component silicon content is usually above 98.5%, below 99.99%, and the remaining impurities are iron, aluminum, calcium and so on.   "Metallic silicon" (also called industrial silicon) is a trade name that appeared in the mid-1960s. Its appearance is related to the rise of the semiconductor industry. The international common practice is to divide commercial silicon into metal silicon and semiconductor silicon. Metallic silicon is a product smelted from quartz and coke in an electric furnace. The main component of silicon is about 98% (99.99% of Si is also contained in metallic silicon), and the remaining impurities are iron, aluminum, calcium, etc. . Semiconductor silicon is used to make high-purity metal silicon for semiconductor devices. It is sold in the form of polycrystalline and single crystal, the former is cheap and the latter is expensive. It is divided into a variety of specifications due to its different uses. According to statistics, the world's total consumption of metal silicon for aluminum alloys accounts for about 60% of metal silicon, less than 30% for organic silicon, about 3% for semiconductors, and the rest for iron and steel smelting and precision ceramics.   From a global perspective, the consumption of metallurgical silicon is more than that of chemical silicon. However, with the continuous development of science and technology, the use of chemical silicon in the production of organic silicon and semiconductors has been expanding, and it is widely used in the production of organic silicon. Silicon monomer and polymer silicone oil, silicone rubber, silicone resin building anti-corrosion, waterproofing agent, etc., they have unique properties such as high temperature resistance, electrical insulation, radiation resistance, and waterproofing. Used in electrical, aviation, machinery, chemical, pharmaceutical, national defense, construction and other sectors.
