The transportation
China's transportation industry purchases about 8,600 tons of organosilicone products annually, mainly for use in the automotive, Marine and aviation sectors.
Silicone rubber, resin elastomers, sealants, lubricants and plastic additives are widely used in automotive, aviation and Marine applications due to their strength, adhesion and durability.
China's auto industry alone has created 1.6 million jobs, and the use of silicone has made transportation more efficient, safer, and more reliable.
Silicone rubber, elastomers, sealants, lubricants and plastic additives are widely used in automotive parts.
Silicone provides airbag airtight seal and fabric strength, helping airbags inflate at precise timing and pressure, helping to improve safety and reduce traffic fatalities
Silicone is resistant to high temperatures, salt, and rain, so it can be used to protect and isolate engine components to improve vehicle safety over the life of the vehicle
In new energy vehicles, silicone is used in the packaging of the whole battery pack, which plays a role of stability, anti-vibration, heat dissipation, waterproof and dustproof.
In addition, organosilicone is also used in the bonding and positioning of power battery cells, as well as the thermal management of lithium batteries
In 2018, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in China reached 1.27 million and 1.25 million, respectively, and the number of vehicles in China exceeded 1.8 million, accounting for more than 50 percent of the global market
The production and sales of new energy vehicles in China are expected to reach 2 million by 2020
Silicones help reduce dirt and film build-up, reduce the attachment of Marine life to the hull, improve fuel efficiency and reduce maintenance times.
Because organosilicones can withstand incredible pressures and extreme temperatures, they can also be used in many areas of aircraft and spacecraft assembly and maintenance, including China's defence modernisation programme.
China's high-speed rail, rail transit, aviation, shipbuilding and shipbuilding equipment industries have all entered a period of rapid development and will further promote the development and application of high-performance organosilicone materials.
