The raw materials for preparing silicone oil, silicone rubber, silicone resin and silane coupling agent are various organic silicon monomers. Thousands of organic silicon products can be produced from several basic monomers. Organosilicon monomers mainly include: methylchlorosilane (referred to as methyl monomer), phenylchlorosilane (referred to as phenyl monomer), methylvinylchlorosilane, ethyltrichlorosilane, propyltrichlorosilane, Vinyltrichlorosilane, γ-chloropropyltrichlorosilane and fluorosilicone monomers. Among them, methylchlorosilane is the most important, and its dosage accounts for more than 90% of the total monomer total, followed by phenylchlorosilane.
The key to the development of any polymer material lies in the development of monomer technology. The silicone industry is characterized by concentrated monomer production and dispersed product processing. Therefore, monomer production occupies an important position in the organosilicon industry, and the production level of monomer directly reflects the development level of the organosilicon industry.
