Industry News--Silicone Products

1. New breakthroughs in silicone 3D printing technology

Silicone 3D printing technology has made significant progress in recent years. Israeli company Filament2 launched the industry's first silicone 3D printing consumables, suitable for standard FFF 3D printers, and precise extrusion of silicone materials through special cutting nozzles.

French company Lynxter cooperated with 3DEUS to develop "dynamic molding" technology, using powder bed as a support structure to achieve unsupported silicone 3D printing, significantly reducing material waste.

These technological breakthroughs provide more efficient solutions for prototyping silicone parts in the medical, electronic and consumer fields.

2. The high temperature resistance of silicone products has attracted attention

Silicone products are widely used in medical, food, electronics and automotive fields due to their excellent high temperature resistance. Dongguan Weishun Silicone Company recently published an article that detailed the high temperature resistance of silicone, emphasizing its stability and safety in high temperature environments.

At the same time, consumers have also raised questions about the safety of silicone kitchen utensils (such as silicone spatulas) in high temperature cooking. The Qingdao Consumer Protection Committee has verified the safety of silicone products at high temperatures through experiments, and the results show that they meet relevant standards.

3. Investigation of the chaos in the silicone product market

Recently, the sales and use of silicone masks, silicone clothes and other products on online platforms have attracted widespread attention. Some anchors use silicone masks to perform live performances of "changing people", which even poses potential infringement and illegal risks.

Experts suggest strengthening the supervision of the production, sales and use of silicone products, clarifying their legal uses, and preventing them from being used for illegal and criminal activities.

4. The European Netherlands International Professional Silicon Trade Fair is about to be held

From March 19 to 20, 2025, the European Netherlands will hold the International Professional Silicon Trade Fair, which is the largest and only trade fair for the silicon materials industry in Europe. The exhibition will display silicone products, organosilicon compounds and related equipment, and has attracted world-renowned companies to participate, such as Wacker and BASF.

The exhibition provides an important platform for Chinese companies to explore the European market, and the number of exhibitors is expected to exceed 200.

5. Innovative applications of silicone products in the consumer goods field

The application of silicone products in the consumer goods field is constantly innovating, such as silicone bibs, silicone night lights, etc. Silicone products are environmentally friendly, durable and personalized.

In addition, the safety of baby products such as silicone chews has also attracted the attention of consumers, and related companies are strengthening product quality testing and certification.
