High-end acrylic silicone oil iteration accelerates, and domestic modified silicone materials are opening up new space in coating electronics

Hits: 97 img

(September 3, 2026) Technological iteration in the domestic acrylic silicone oil sector continues to advance. With the rapid release of demand for UV curing and water-based environmentally friendly formulations, acrylic silicone oil—which combines organic silicon weathering resistance and low surface energy cross-linking with acrylic acid—is seeing rising demand in coatings, electronic packaging, and textile coating sectors. Domestic companies are making breakthroughs in molecular structure regulation and low-VOC synthesis processes, gradually narrowing the gap with overseas high-end brands. 

Acrylic silicone oil, as a modified silicone material with acrylic active groups, inherits the advantages of polysiloxane in UV resistance, low surface tension, and high and low temperature resistance, and can also participate in UV curing and thermal curing crosslinking reactions. It is widely used as a coating leveling and smoothing additive, resin modified monomer, and raw material for electronic conformal coatings. It is suitable for solvent-based and water-based systems, and is a key intermediate material in silicon-propylene composite systems. 

From the market perspective, driven by new energy vehicle coatings, photovoltaic protective coatings, Mini-LED packaging, and outdoor architectural coatings, the domestic acrylic silicone oil segment has maintained steady growth. Industry research shows that the global market for silicone acrylic materials maintains a compound growth rate of about 6.5%, with the Asia-Pacific region becoming the core growth area. Domestic downstream customers continue to increase their purchasing share of high-end grades with high purity, narrow molecular weight distribution, and low ring content, while export orders are gradually expanding to Europe and Southeast Asia. REACH and RoHS-compliant products have become a hard threshold for foreign trade procurement. 

At the process level, the industry is upgrading from traditional additive polymerization to controllable polymerization. By precisely regulating acryl oxy grafting rates, small molecule impurities are reduced, product compatibility is improved, and pain points previously faced by some grades such as shrinkage, precipitation, and decreased adhesion have been addressed. Some domestic new products have achieved over 99% active components, with controllable viscosity ranges. Even small amounts can improve paint film leveling, scratch resistance, and stain resistance. This has shown outstanding results in UV wood paints, plastic paints, and textile anti-stick coatings, helping downstream reduce overall formulation costs. 

Industry analysts point out that high-end acrylic silicone oil was long dominated by overseas manufacturers. In recent years, domestic chemical companies have increased R&D investment, a batch of new patents has been granted, and domestic products have continued to penetrate in mid-to-high-end scenarios. However, high-end electronic-grade grades still face some technical barriers. Low-ring removal, batch stability, and multi-scenario customization remain key competitive points. 

Looking ahead, with the continued implementation of domestic low-VOC policies and the widespread adoption of high-solid, solvent-free formulations, the application space for acrylic silicone oil in green coatings, UV-curable materials, and electronic protective materials will further expand. On one hand, domestic companies will continue to optimize synthesis processes and expand high-end production capacity; On the other hand, with growing demand in the foreign trade market, domestic acrylic silicone oil with complete compliance testing reports is expected to further capture global market share.
