The Yaxia Xinjiang Group’s project to produce 1.6 million tons of silicone per year is set to begin operations soon

Thread Content

The 1.6 million tons per year organic silicon production project of its Xiayaxinjiang Group is located in the Wucaiwan Industrial Park in Zhundong. It employs advanced organic silicon production technologies available both domestically and internationally; the synthesis, distillation, and hydrolysis units used are all among the most advanced facilities for producing such compounds at present； At the same time, a methylchlorosilane synthesis reactor is built to facilitate the conversion of raw materials for the production in the silicone project. Its Ya Xinjiang Group’s project to produce 1.6 million tons of silicone per year represents another major step forward, built upon the group’s existing silicon-based industrial chain. The project relies on the group’s abundant resources in coal, electricity, quartz ore, metal silicon, methanol, etc., to provide strong support in terms of energy and raw materials for the silicone production process, thus fostering an integrated development trend that encompasses coal, electricity, silicon, methanol, and silicone. Upon completion, it will become the world’s leading single-unit silicone project at present, with a complete industrial chain and supporting facilities. As a practitioner focused on the development of the raw material industry, its sub-group leverages a robust energy supply and synergies within the industrial chain, along with advanced production technologies. By adopting a fully self-sufficient supply system across the entire value chain, it gains a significant cost advantage; once operational, this will completely transform the structure of China’s silicone industry. Through technological breakthroughs and integration of the industrial chain, the quality and overall competitiveness of domestic silicone products are continuously raised to international top levels, thereby providing stronger support for the sub-group’s goal of becoming an internationally leading comprehensive raw materials industry group.
