Keywords: high-end silicone, LSR, thermal conductive silicone, AI server, EV battery, Hongye Silicone Summary: Global demand for high-end LSR and thermal conductive silicone surges on AI and EV growth; Hongye Silicone ramps up capacity to meet orders. Content: On May 20, industry data confirmed strong global demand for high-performance silicones, especially liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and thermal conductive silicone (2–8 W/m·K). AI server liquid cooling, EV battery thermal management, and medical device applications are the main growth drivers, with year-on-year demand increases of 62% and 55% respectively. Many suppliers face 10–15 day lead times due to capacity limits. Hongye Silicone has added 3 new production lines in Shenzhen, lifting monthly high-end output by 300 tons. The company prioritizes food-grade LSR, high-thermal-conductivity potting, and medical silicone, supporting global customers in tech, automotive, and healthcare sectors.
