Recently, the 2022 China Fluorosilicon Industry Standard Innovation and Contribution Award officially announced the list of winners. The industry standard Polymethyl hydrosiloxane developed by Elkem Xinghuo Silicones won the first prize in the Fluorosilicon Industry Standard Innovation Contribution Award again. This is the third consecutive year that Elkem Xinghuo Silicones won this award. Moreover, the association standard Epoxy-terminated Polymethyl Siloxane led and developed by Elkem Xinghuo Silicones, won the excellence award. This is also a sign that Elkem Xinghuo Silicones have reached a new level in terms of independent intellectual property rights, R&D and innovation level, achievement transformation ability, and standardization work, which is a strong impetus to further strengthen independent enterprise innovation, industrial competition, and international trade.
Each of the two standards is the first of its kind in the industry. In terms of technical innovation, the standard Polymethyl hydrosiloxane is the first to propose the use of the highly sensitive infrared method for testing the hydrogen content and the potentiometric titration method for testing the acid value. Its sensitivity and detection efficiency are far higher than those of conventional testing methods. Since its release and implementation, the standard has been widely used by domestic manufacturers and customers.
As the birthplace of China's national silicone industry, Elkem Xinghuo Silicones, taking up the mission of being the source of silicone technology, insists on scientific and technological self-improvement. By actively organizing and participating in the development of national standards, industry standards, and association standards for silicone, Elkem Xinghuo Silicones, guided by industrial innovation, has established and improved various product standards and method standards for silicone, contributing to the sustainable development of the silicone industry.
