Against the background of the EU REACH regulation upgrade, Dow Corning announced an investment of 200 million euros to build a renewable silicone oil production base. The new process uses bio-based methanol to replace petroleum raw materials, reducing carbon emissions by 45%. The products cover 8 major categories such as cosmetics and textile auxiliaries. Domestically, the vegetable oil-modified silicone oil developed by Chenguang Institute has been successfully applied to the environmentally friendly waterproof fabrics of an international sports brand, and the number of washes has exceeded 50 times. According to statistics, the global demand for degradable silicone oil has an annual growth rate of 35%, and it is expected that by 2026, the penetration rate of green silicone oil in the daily chemical field will exceed 60%.
