In recent years, Jiangxi Xinghuo Organic Silicone Plant has expanded the production of organic silicone monomer, of which the yielded by-product of hydrogen-containing monomer is inflammable, explosive and difficult to store. The company has always wanted to convert it into hydrogen-containing oil for sale.
Hydrogen-containing silicone oil can be used as water-proofing agent in various materials such as textiles, glass, ceramics, paper, leather, metal, cement, marble, etc. When used with methyl hydroxy silicone oil emulsion, it can make many high quality and high value-added products.
This March, Xinghuo decided to further improve the production process and install one more unit of production equipment for hydrogen-containing silicone oil based on the existing 800 t/a equipment using proprietary technology. Three months later in June, the new equipment was put into production and the manufactured products have been sold to markets in the US and Europe. This equipment can recycle large amounts of organic by-product of hydrogen-containing monomer and transform them into valuable materials, which will promote the development of a recycling economy with increased annual profitability of RMB17 million.
