In China, 67,600 tonnes of organosilicon are used in building materials production each year, accounting for 41% of Asia's organosilicon sales in this segment.
Since 2010, the construction sector has accounted for about 9 percent of China's jobs.
Silicone products are used in building sealants, adhesives and protective coatings.
These silicone products help to preserve, enhance and preserve the building and provide an aesthetic and innovative character to the building.
Silicones are widely used in the construction industry because:
1. Silicone can be bonded with concrete, glass, granite, marble, aluminum, steel and plastic and many other materials
2. Silicone is durable and can resist corrosion caused by inclement weather, humidity or sunlight
3. Silicone can improve the energy efficiency of buildings. Silicone can resist moisture when used as a sealant, and resist hot and cold air from seams and crevices
4. Silicone provides flexibility to reduce building damage from medium to low intensity earthquakes
Thanks to these unique properties, silicone is essential not only for residential and office buildings, but also for Bridges, drilling platforms, industrial plants and pipelines.
(1) Silicones can be used as building materials to improve sustainability and energy efficiency:
(2) The life of silicone sealants is up to 3 times longer than that of organic sealants in the same application.
(3) The use of silicone latex paint on the exposed building surface can reduce heat loss by up to 40%
(4) Compared with traditional building materials, silicone additives or coatings can reduce building water absorption by up to 80%, which helps reduce material degradation and extend the life of treated materials
