(April 27, 2026) At present, the domestic silica industry is accelerating the deep integration of industry, education and research, relying on the joint research and development model of universities and scientific research institutes and chemical enterprises, continuing to overcome key core problems such as preparation technology, modification technology, and purification process, gradually breaking down technical barriers in high-end fields, and accelerating the realization of comprehensive localization substitution.
For a long time, high-end products such as ultra-high purity fumed silica and specially modified silica have long relied on overseas technology and import supply, and there are obvious shortcomings in the high-end industrial chain, and the procurement cost is high and the supply cycle is limited, which restricts the development of the domestic high-end manufacturing industry.
Recently, a number of leading chemical companies have joined forces with materials research laboratories to complete a number of key technologies. Substantial progress has been made in core technologies such as ultra-fine particle size control, surface hydrophobic modification, low impurity purification, and dispersion optimization, and the performance indicators of a new generation of functional silica products independently developed have been benchmarked against international first-line standards.
At the same time, the trial of new compound modification processes and low-cost green synthesis technologies not only lowers the threshold for mass production of high-end products, but also solves the shortcomings of traditional process performance. After the technology is implemented and mass-produced, it can be widely adapted to high-end manufacturing fields such as mechanical silicon, electronic packaging, high-end coatings, and precision rubber and plastics.
With the rapid transformation and implementation of scientific research results, the silica industry has officially entered the stage of technology-driven development. Relying on independent research and development to reduce dependence on external technology and drive product upgrading with technological iteration can not only balance the market supply and demand structure, but also help the high-quality upgrading of the entire fine chemical industry chain and lay a solid technical foundation for the high-quality development of the subsequent industry.
