On June 23, 2025, driven by the dual drive of new energy vehicles and high-end manufacturing, the application boundaries of gas-phase silica will continue to expand. Recently, Huating Nanotechnology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. announced significant progress in its modified fumed silica in the fields of power battery adhesives and UV coatings, providing the industry with more efficient and environmentally friendly solutions.
In the field of new energy vehicles, the safety and energy density of power batteries are the core competitive points. The modified gas-phase silica developed by Huating Nano significantly improves the thixotropy and adhesive strength of polyurethane system adhesives by optimizing the surface chemical structure. Experiments have shown that in the packaging of power battery modules, the addition of this material increases the shear strength of the adhesive by 40%, and it can still maintain stable performance at extreme temperatures ranging from -40 ℃ to 150 ℃, effectively solving the risk of battery thermal runaway. This technological breakthrough has been applied to mass-produced models of several leading car companies.
At the same time, the demand for gas-phase silica in the high-end coating market has also shown explosive growth. In the field of UV plastic coatings, traditional rheological agents are difficult to balance high solid content and construction performance. However, Huating Nano's modified materials improve the viscosity adjustment accuracy of coatings by 50% through nanoscale dispersion technology, while achieving internationally leading anti sagging performance. Data shows that the use of this material in UV coatings for automotive interior painting has increased construction efficiency by 30%, and the coating hardness has reached 2H or more, with a 2-fold increase in wear resistance.
It is worth noting that the cost-effectiveness advantage of domestically produced gas-phase silica is accelerating its substitution for imported products. Enterprises represented by Shandong Dongyue Organic Silicon Materials have reduced production costs by 20% by optimizing the chlorosilane co production process, while achieving product performance at the level of international brands such as Germany's Evonik and the United States' Cabot. According to industry predictions, the global market size of gas-phase silica will exceed 3 billion US dollars by 2025, with demand for new energy vehicles and high-end coatings accounting for over 40%.
From photovoltaic adhesives to power batteries, from high-end coatings to intelligent robots, fumed silica is reshaping modern manufacturing as the "industrial MSG". With the continuous breakthroughs in domestic technology, this nanomaterial is expected to become a new engine for promoting industrial upgrading.
