Silicone Coating Market Trends:

Expanding Application in Electronics

Silicone coatings are rapidly being utilized in the electronics sector for insulation and protection, owing to the growing demand for high-performance materials that protect sensitive components from moisture, heat, and corrosion. In July 2024, Dow launched DOWSIL CC-8000 series UV and dual moisture cure conformal coatings, a range of solventless silicone coatings that provide strong protection for electronic components in renewable energy applications. This is expanding the silicone coating market share.

Increased Demand for High-Performance Coatings

As per the silicone coating market analysis report, the need for high-performance coatings in critical infrastructure industries is being driven by the requirement for materials that can withstand extreme climatic conditions, such as high temperatures, corrosive environments, and mechanical stress. In August 2024, PPG announced the launch of PPG PITT-THERM 909 spray-on insulation (SOI) coating. This silicone-based coating is designed for high-heat environments in the oil and gas, chemical, petrochemical, and other critical infrastructure industries.

Rising Focus on Sustainability and Recycling Initiatives

The industry's sustainability and recycling initiatives are geared toward lowering environmental impact by providing recycling solutions for silicone-coated items. This assists industries in meeting regulatory criteria and encourages environmentally friendly practices by reducing waste and increasing resource efficiency. In August 2024, the Tag and Label Manufacturers Institute (TLMI) and CELAB North America merged their efforts to research and identify recycling solutions for silicone-coated label release liners through a unified TLMI project called the Liner Recycling Initiative (LRI).
