Major Adjustment to Silicone Export Tax Rebate Policy

Major Adjustment to Silicone Export Tax Rebate Policy: Jointly Embracing Industry Transformation and Steadily Expanding Global Cooperation – An Important Communication Letter to All Partners

Dear Partners,

On the evening of January 9, 2026, the Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration of China jointly issued an announcement on the adjustment of export tax rebate policies, clarifying that starting from April 1, 2026, the value-added tax export rebate for products such as 3910.0000 primary form polysiloxanes will be canceled. This means that the 13% tax rebate policy that has long supported silicone exports will officially end, and the industry will completely bid farewell to the "tax rebate subsidy era," entering a new stage centered on value competition.

As a company deeply rooted in the silicone foreign trade sector, we have completed policy interpretation and market analysis at the earliest opportunity. This adjustment is both a challenge of short-term cost pressure for the industry and a crucial opportunity to promote industrial integration and upgrading. With the withdrawal of tax rebate benefits, the model relying on low-price competition will be unsustainable. Companies with technological advantages, stable supply chains, and high-quality customer resources will demonstrate competitive resilience, and the industry structure will be optimized in a healthier direction.

From a market impact perspective, the cost of silicone exports will directly increase after the policy takes effect, and raising export prices has become a consensus in the industry. The current silicone market has already shown positive changes: the prices of core products such as DMC, silicone oil, and 107 glue have recently increased by 300 yuan/ton, with mainstream quotations reaching 14,000 yuan/ton, 15,500-16,100 yuan/ton, and 14,500-14,800 yuan/ton respectively. Coupled with the supply pattern where the industry operating rate remains at around 65%, the first quarter of 2026 has become a critical window period for "rush exports" before the policy takes effect. To smoothly cope with cost changes, domestic companies are successively initiating pricing negotiations with overseas customers. The core objective is to achieve reasonable price transmission through transparent cost communication and jointly share the impact of the policy adjustment. Leveraging years of accumulated global channel resources and deep industry expertise, the company has developed a comprehensive response plan to ensure smooth cooperation:

1. Price Negotiation Support: We provide clear cost breakdown analysis reports to assist partners in understanding the logic behind price adjustments. We also offer flexible policies such as "tiered discounts based on order volume" and "long-term price guarantees" to replace simple price bargaining with a shared understanding of value, minimizing cost pressure.


2. Order Guarantee during the Transition Period: We have opened an expedited channel for orders during the policy transition period, prioritizing production for orders shipped before April 1, 2026. Currently, pre-orders for core products are scheduled until the end of February, ensuring stable supply and timely delivery.

3. Compliance and Logistics Empowerment: We provide full-process compliance guidance for customs declaration requirements for 3910.0000 primary form polysiloxanes, while simultaneously optimizing international logistics solutions and allocating sufficient time for customs clearance and transportation to avoid policy-related risks.


4. Market Diversification: Leveraging the advantages of the RCEP regional trade agreement, we are helping partners expand into emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East, offsetting the impact of policy fluctuations in single markets. Our cooperation channels in core export destinations such as South Korea, India, and Turkey have already been upgraded.


We sincerely remind all partners:

Please review your existing orders and procurement plans as soon as possible. If you need to complete shipments before April 1, 2026, we recommend confirming your orders and securing your supply before March 15, 2026, so that we can coordinate production capacity and logistics resources. After the policy takes effect, the company will adjust its pricing system based on market cost dynamics. New prices will be communicated 7 working days in advance to ensure you have sufficient planning time.

In this period of industry transformation, trust and collaboration are the cornerstones of mutual success. We firmly believe that this policy adjustment will drive the silicone industry from "scale expansion" to "value enhancement," and our core competitiveness is rooted in a stable supply chain, professional policy response capabilities, and a long-term win-win cooperation philosophy.

If you have any questions regarding order scheduling, price negotiation, or customs compliance, please feel free to contact your dedicated account manager or our policy consultation hotline. We will provide solutions as soon as possible. We look forward to working with you to seize this opportunity, navigate the industry adjustment cycle together, and continuously create value in the new journey of the global silicone market! Thank you again for your trust and support!

Silicone: The "industrial vitamin" that empowers thousands of industries

With its unique Si-O-Si main chain and organic side group structure,silicone (polysiloxane) is the only synthetic material that has the following characteristics: extreme environmental stability (temperature range from -100℃ to 350℃), physiological inertness (FDA/ISO 10993 certified) and excellent electrical insulation (dielectric strength exceeds 20 kV/mm). Relevant data show that the global market size will reach US$20.2 billion in 2024, with an annual growth rate of 6.8%.

With its excellent performance such as resistance to extreme environments, physiological inertness, and electrical insulation, silicone materials have become the core materials for improving product characteristics and enhancing industrial quality. With the explosive growth of emerging fields such as new energy vehicles, integrated circuits, and artificial intelligence, silicone is rapidly penetrating from traditional industries to high-tech fields, while leading the wave of sustainable development with its low VOC emissions and recyclability.

In the construction industry

Silicone adhesive is the main product. This material is based on terminal hydroxyl siloxane polymers and multifunctional siloxane crosslinkers, with auxiliary materials such as plasticizers and reinforcing agents added, and is prepared through processes such as compounding, mixing and homogenization. It has excellent elastic bonding function. It is mainly used in the fields of building (glass) curtain walls, hollow glass, DIY decoration and prefabricated buildings. In addition, silicone resin is also often used as an additive in coatings to improve the waterproof, anti-fouling and wear resistance of coatings.



Organic silicon is highly competitive in the construction market. The prosperity of the construction industry has declined in recent years, and the future consumption growth rate is expected to be only 2%. The lack of unified standards in the industry and the increased sensitivity of various links in the industrial chain to costs have led to a generally low content of siloxane, and companies are not enthusiastic enough to increase the content of siloxane in raw materials.



In the future, products with higher market appeal include modified silane sealants (MS glue) for prefabricated buildings and DIY special glue for interior decoration. The development focus of these two types of products is to improve the bonding performance to different materials and reduce the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to meet consumers' requirements for indoor environmental quality.

Power Industry


In the power industry, the application of silicone materials covers insulators, cable accessories, flashover paints and power oil. These materials provide electrical insulation and mechanical fixation to ensure the safety and stability of transmission lines and substations.



Since the 1990s, China has achieved remarkable results in the field of composite insulators, with a market share of more than 70%. When bidding for UHV lines, the State Grid will balance the use of composite insulators, glass insulators and ceramic insulators to maintain healthy competition in the market. In the future, the market share of composite insulators will increase slowly.



At present, the application of silicone in the power industry is mainly HTV. This material has good physical and chemical properties in harsh environments, effectively resists the influence of ultraviolet rays, ozone and bad weather, and prevents flashover and ice flashover accidents. With the increase in consistency and precision requirements, the proportion of LSR in insulators is expected to gradually increase, because it has excellent fluidity and processing performance, suitable for automated production.

New energy industry

In the field of new energy, silicone materials are mainly used for the frame sealing of photovoltaic modules. Common products include neutral one-component silicone sealants and two-component silicone structural sealants. The bonding strength of these sealants usually exceeds 1.0MPa, which can provide long-term waterproof sealing performance, and has excellent weather resistance, ozone resistance and salt spray resistance, which is particularly suitable for the environmental requirements of photovoltaic bases. In addition, silicone-modified acrylic resins can be used for the backplane coating of photovoltaic modules, while in wind turbine blades, a small amount of silicone products are used for surface treatment and to improve the performance of epoxy resins. With the rapid development of the new energy industry, the consumption of silicone in this field will continue to grow.

Electronics industry

In the electronics field, silicone materials have a wide range of applications, including electronic potting, thermal conductivity (such as silicone grease, silicone rubber), interface packaging, electromagnetic shielding, conformal coating and component bonding. These materials mainly provide electrical insulation, thermal conductivity, shock absorption and protection.



In actual industrial production, silicone materials are mainly used for potting of LED and IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor) materials. They are the second largest adhesive in the electronics and semiconductor industries, second only to epoxy resin. The electronics industry chain is complex, and the procurement of component bonding glue is usually the responsibility of component and circuit board manufacturers. In high-end fields, such as thermal interface materials for chip packaging, semiconductor design companies such as Huawei and HiSilicon have the dominant power over material selection.



With the continuous improvement of computing power, the requirements for semiconductor thermal management are also increasing, and the demand for thermal conductivity of silicone materials is growing. At the same time, with the development of flexible electronic devices and automotive electronics, the requirements for chip environmental adaptability are also increasing. Silicone adhesives that can provide better weather resistance, low temperature performance and soft shock absorption will have greater market opportunities.

Automotive industry

In the automotive industry, silicone materials play an important role. The amount of glue used in a traditional fuel vehicle is about 2-3kg, and its applications cover engines, electronic control, shock absorption and lubrication, cooling and lighting, and interior decoration. In the field of new energy vehicles, due to its unique high and low temperature resistance, electrical insulation, waterproof and moisture-proof, and flame retardant properties, silicone products are widely used in battery packs, battery management systems, motors, electronic controls, interiors, exteriors, lights, and chassis, and the amount has increased by 3-5 times.



The application of silicone in the automotive industry includes new applications such as high-voltage cables, harness sealing, braided tube coatings, and battery protection/sealing thermal management gels. It is expected that in the next five years, the growth rate of cable harnesses and thermal conductive potting glue will be the fastest, mainly due to the increase in automotive electronic applications and the increase in thermal management needs.

Medical and health industry

The basic structural unit of silicone is the silicon-oxygen chain link, which makes silicone materials have both the characteristics of organic matter and the functions of inorganic matter. The methyl group on the silicon atom can shield the high-energy polysiloxane main chain, thereby improving the chemical stability and biocompatibility of the material. In particular, LSR (liquid silicone rubber) products, due to their stable chemical properties, non-toxic and low sensitivity, will not cause adverse reactions when in contact with human tissues, and their soft and breathable properties make them very suitable for use in the medical and pharmaceutical industries, such as medical hoses, wound dressings, and human implant materials (such as plastic surgery, retention needles, and contact lenses).



In addition to the above applications, silicone can also be widely used in many fields such as home decoration (such as silicone leather), kitchen appliances (such as high-temperature sealing rings), maternal and child products (such as pacifiers), and industrial additives (such as defoamers and release agents). It is expected that the market growth rate of the silicone industry will be higher than the GDP growth rate in the next few years. By 2030, the global demand for silicone products will reach about 6.8 million tons, with an average annual growth rate of 8.5%. The power industry is expected to surpass the construction industry and become the main consumer of silicone.



Although silicone materials face challenges from competing materials, such as the high prices of new chemical materials such as polyurethane, which limits the use of silicone as the main material. At the same time, as a common adhesive material, its mechanical properties are relatively poor. Scientific research institutions are exploring methods to improve the mechanical properties of silicone materials, including cross-linking modification, surface modification, copolymerization modification and fiber reinforcement.



The main advantages of silicone materials are thermal conductivity, weather resistance, biocompatibility and skin affinity. The future development direction should focus on these application links. With the rise of new technology fields such as AI, new applications of silicone materials will continue to emerge. The development of Chinese silicone materials should shift from following the Western market to actively looking for and incubating new application scenarios.

Introduction to Common Nylon Materials

Nylon, as the first of the five major engineering plastics, is a long-chain polymer composed of repeating amide groups (-CO-NH-) with good mechanical properties, wear resistance, self-lubrication and chemical stability. According to the different molecular structures, the nylon family is divided into many types, each of which has its own unique properties and application areas.



1. Ordinary nylon

PA6 (polycaprolactam) and PA66 (polyhexamethylene adipamide)

These two brothers are the most common nylon materials, accounting for 90% of the nylon production scale, while the global nylon production capacity is only more than 10 million tons! PA6 exceeds 6 million tons, PA66 exceeds 3 million tons, PA6 is the cheapest nylon, followed by PA66

PA6: Suitable for occasions requiring good toughness and diverse processing and molding, such as automotive parts (gears, bearings), electronic and electrical products (housings, connectors) and textiles (carpets, ropes).

PA66: Suitable for high strength, high rigidity, heat resistance, and wear resistance, such as the automotive industry (under-hood parts, brake system parts) and industrial machinery (gears, pulleys).

2. High temperature nylon (heat resistance > 250°C)

High temperature nylon is usually semi-aromatic nylon (containing benzene ring structure), with high melting point and low hygroscopicity, suitable for high temperature and high humidity environment. PA6T, PA9T, PA10T, PA4T and other PA+number+T are all high temperature nylons, and fiber reinforcement is as high as PA46. Even after some PA6T and 9T are modified, the heat deformation temperature reaches 290+, but the resin heat resistance is still the best PA46. In the PAXT series of high temperature nylon, it has excellent chemical resistance and high dimensional stability. Main applications: electronic components, connectors,

PA46 (polyamide 46, polybutylene adipamide):

Synthesized from adipic acid and butanediamine, with a melting point of about 290°C, it has excellent heat resistance and mechanical properties. It has low hygroscopicity and excellent dimensional stability, making it suitable for use in high temperature and humid environments. PA46 also has good chemical resistance and excellent impact resistance.

PA6T (polyhexamethylene terephthalamide)

Polyhexamethylene terephthalamide is a copolymer of PA6T and PA66, a heat-resistant nylon 6T/66. The melting point is as high as 310°C. The main characteristics are excellent high-temperature rigidity, dimensional stability and chemical resistance. The excellent properties make PA6T widely used in many fields including automotive parts, mechanical parts and electrical/electronic parts.

PA9T

PA9T is an original polyamide engineering plastic developed by Kuraray from raw material monomers. It is a molding material with excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance, and sliding resistance that can withstand repeated friction. It is often used in applications in high temperature environments, such as automobiles, electronics, aviation and other fields. The melting point of PA9T is 306℃, and it has a higher glass transition temperature (125℃) and crystallinity than other nylons, which enables it to maintain good toughness at high temperatures.

PA10T (polydecane terephthalamide)

PA10T is made of terephthalic acid and decanediamine as monomers through polycondensation. It has excellent heat resistance, a melting point of 316℃, chemical corrosion resistance, low water absorption, good dimensional stability, and after glass fiber reinforcement modification, it can withstand lead-free solder temperatures exceeding 280℃, and has excellent comprehensive performance.

PA4T (polytetramethylene ... PA12 (polylaurolactam)

Prepared by linearization of butadiene, petrochemical-based materials, high transparency, memory nylon is PA12, eyeglass frame resin material, melting point between 175°C and 185°C, but the improved PA12 is close to PA11 in thermal performance, resistant to low-temperature impact, good chemical resistance and oil resistance, low moisture absorption, excellent dimensional stability, and the lowest shrinkage rate among nylons. Applications: fuel systems, hydraulic systems, electronic components, glasses, etc.

3. Low temperature nylon, high tenacity nylon


PA610 (polyhexamethylenediamine sebacamide)

PA610 monofilament has excellent mechanical properties, impact resistance, wear resistance, impact resistance and low temperature performance, and good chemical stability. The performance of PA610 monofilament is between PA612 monofilament and PA66 monofilament, but its water absorption is small, it is resistant to strong alkali, and it is more resistant to weak acid than PA6 monofilament and PA66 monofilament. It is often used in nylon filaments for brushes.

PA612 (polyhexamethylene dodecanamide)

PA612 is also called polyamide 612 or nylon 612, and its composition is polyhexamethylene dodecanamide. In addition to the general characteristics of PA, PA612 also has the advantages of relatively small width, lower water absorption and density, good dimensional stability, high tensile strength and impact strength, and transparency. It is mainly used to make high-grade toothbrushes and other industrial bristles, and can also be used for oil pipelines, oil-resistant ropes, conveyor belts, bearings, gaskets and other electronic components.

4. Other nylons
PA1010 (nylon 1010)

It was developed in China in 1958. It is made by extracting decanediamine and sebacic acid from castor oil as raw materials and then condensing them. Its two main monomers are both from castor beans, and it is a renewable bio-based nylon material.

Its biggest feature is that it has high ductility and can be stretched to 3 to 4 times its original length. It also has high tensile strength, excellent impact resistance and low temperature resistance, is not brittle at -60°C, and has wear resistance, ultra-high toughness and good oil resistance. It is widely used in aerospace, cables, optical cables, metal or cable surface coating, etc.

PA1212 (Nylon 1212)

PA1212 resin has unique advantages. It has the lowest water absorption rate among nylons, good dimensional stability, oil resistance, alkali resistance and non-toxicity, chemical resistance, excellent wear resistance, good transparency, and excellent toughness at low temperatures. It is mainly used as a modified substrate and can be widely used in aerospace, automobile, textile, instrumentation, electrical, medical equipment and other industrial fields.

PA56 (Polyamide 56)

It is a new type of bio-based nylon. The PA11 mentioned above is also a bio-based nylon. PA56 is polymerized from bio-based pentamethylenediamine and petroleum-based adipic acid. The melting point is about 260℃, and its strength, softness, hygroscopicity, resilience and low temperature resistance are close to those of PA66.

MXD6 nylon

is a high barrier aromatic transparent nylon, the full name of which is poly(trimethylhexamethylene terephthalamide), which is a crystalline semi-aromatic polyamide. Nylon MXD6 has very outstanding gas barrier properties, and its comprehensive physical properties are better than PA66 and close to PPA, with good heat resistance and dimensional stability. The temperature resistance is slightly lower than that of the PPA system, and it has high strength and rigidity. This is the barrier nylon, MXD6 has good barrier properties, heat resistance and mechanical strength! MXD6 nylon stands out in packaging and automotive applications for its excellent gas barrier properties. It is well used in many high temperature products that require hydrolysis resistance and gas barrier resistance.

PA nylon elastomer

Also known as Thermoplastic Polyamide Elastomers (TPAE), it is a block copolymer modified on the basis of nylon such as PA11 and PA12, consisting of polyamide hard segments and aliphatic polyester or polyether soft segments. This material combines the strength of nylon with the flexibility of elastomers. It can be understood that the performance is a combination of PA11/12+TPU, showing a series of excellent properties from high tensile strength, low temperature resistance, elastic recovery, wear resistance and chemical resistance.



The unique properties of each PA make it irreplaceable in specific fields, and the selection needs to weigh heat resistance, hygroscopicity, environmental protection requirements and costs. From PA6, PA66 to PA11, PA12 and other polyamide series, each material has its own unique properties and applicable fields. With the advancement of science and technology and the enhancement of environmental awareness, the application of bio-based nylon such as PA11 and PA1010 has been increasingly valued, showing the potential for sustainable development.



In the future, polyamide materials will continue to play an important role in the fields of automobiles, electronics, packaging, textiles, etc., and promote the innovation and development of the industry. Whether it is high-performance engineering plastics or flexible and environmentally friendly materials, polyamide will become a key material to meet modern needs.

The new material revolution of humanoid robots

In recent years, the humanoid robot track has experienced explosive growth. The iteration of products such as Tesla Optimus, Boston Dynamics Atlas, and UBTECH Walker X not only makes the flexibility of the "steel body" close to that of humans, but also drives revolutionary breakthroughs in upstream new materials. From flexible joints to bionic skin, from energy systems to intelligent sensors, key materials such as silicone, liquid metal, and carbon fiber are standing on the cusp of the industry and have become the focus of global technology giants and capital.

In the 2025 Chinese Spring Festival Gala, 16 Unitree H1 "Fuxi" robots from Unitree Technology starred in the creative dance program "Yang BOT". It showcases China's cutting-edge robot technology. H1 is the world's first full-size electric-driven humanoid robot that can complete a flip in place. It is equipped with AI-driven full-body motion control technology, high-precision 3D laser SLAM autonomous positioning and navigation, multi-agent collaborative planning, advanced networking solutions, and full-body AI motion control.

Humanoid robots have requirements for materials such as corrosion resistance, heat resistance, insulation, lightweight, and environmental protection. Limb skeletons are the basic framework that supports humanoid robots to perform various actions. Its application scenarios include shell materials, spine, upper arms, lower arms, thighs, lower legs and other structural parts. Commonly used materials include steel, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, carbon fiber, polymer materials, etc.

1. Humanoid robots trigger the demand for new materials

The stringent requirements of humanoid robots for materials far exceed those of traditional industrial robots:

Motion system: high strength, lightweight, and fatigue resistance must be met at the same time (such as the cycle life of joint materials must exceed 10 million times)

Perception system: materials are required to have conductivity, ductility, and environmental adaptability (40℃~120℃)

Interactive interface: Bionic materials must achieve skin-like touch, self-repair, and even emotional feedback

According to Shengbangfan's forecast, by 2035, the humanoid robot market will reach US$154 billion, with core material costs accounting for more than 60%, giving birth to a new material market worth hundreds of billions of yuan. At present, the main materials are silicone, polyamide, polyetheretherketone, carbon fiber reinforced composite materials, liquid crystal polymer (LCP), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and liquid metal.



2. Analysis of main materials

1. Silicone

Silicone is an organosilicon compound, which refers to a compound containing SiC bonds and at least one organic group directly connected to the silicon atom. It has the characteristics of softness and skin-friendly, high and low temperature resistance, radiation resistance, non-toxicity and tastelessness, as well as good biocompatibility and environmental stability. It has always played an important role in the fields of automobiles, aircraft, military technology, and electronic equipment, and has promising application prospects in the fields of flexible electronic devices and flexible robots.

The hands of soft robots usually need to be able to perform delicate operations while interacting safely with humans. The flexibility, transparency and biocompatibility of silicone can meet the material use requirements. The soft robot hand developed by Soft Robotics is made of silicone and can be used in industries such as packaging, assembly and food processing.


2. Polyamide (PA)

Poppy, a robot designed by Ensta ParisTech and Flowers Lab from France, has all its parts 3D printed except for the motor and electronic circuits, using the selective sintering (SLS) process, and the material is polyamide (PA).

3. PEEK (polyether ether ketone)

In early 2024, Tesla demonstrated the OptimusGen2 second-generation humanoid robot, which reduced weight by 10 kg without sacrificing performance and increased walking speed by 30%, relying on a lightweight material - PEEK material. PEEK is one of the important raw materials for the production of humanoid robots.


4. Carbon fiber reinforced composites

Carbon fiber composites, also known as "CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics)", are composite materials made by curing carbon fibers with resin (mainly epoxy resin). As a light and strong, light and hard material, it is widely used in sports products, industrial products, aircraft and automobiles.

Advantages: Density 1.6g/cm³, strength 79 times that of steel

Innovation: Toray T1100G+epoxy resin system, reducing weight by 30% while improving torsional rigidity

Application: Robot skeleton, lightweight robotic arm

5. Liquid crystal polymer (LCP)

Ordinary industrial robots have joints between 210 axes, while the number of joints in humanoid robots is expected to be more than 40 (Tesla Optimus 40), and each joint requires a servo motor, so the servo motor is one of the main core components of humanoid robots. Special engineering plastics, especially LCP materials, are widely used in electronic components such as robot servo motor connectors. LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer), also known as liquid crystal polymer, has excellent properties such as good fluidity, good dimensional stability, high temperature resistance, and high-frequency dielectric stability. It is suitable for precision components and is one of the best material choices for micro motors and high-frequency signal connectors.

6. Liquid metal

The Chinese Academy of Sciences team developed a GaInSnZn amorphous alloy with a yield strength of 520MPa at room temperature (3 times that of traditional liquid metal), which was successfully applied to the knee joint of the Yushu H1 robot (Nature Materials 2024.01)

Apple has obtained a patent for liquid metal self-healing circuits (US2024367821A1), which can achieve automatic healing of microcracks.



The evolution of humanoid robots is essentially a breakthrough in materials science. From the PEEK spine of Tesla Optimus-Gen2 to the liquid metal joints of Yushu H1, from the carbon fiber legs of Boston Dynamics Atlas to Apple's self-healing circuits, this demand-driven material revolution is reshaping the industry at an exponential rate. According to McKinsey's forecast, by 2030, there will be 23 new materials developed specifically for humanoid robots in the world that will be commercialized and mass-produced, among which the market size of bionic self-healing materials and intelligent response composite materials will exceed US$80 billion. China has shown unique advantages in this competition - the Chinese Academy of Sciences' liquid metal technology has made the leap from laboratory to production line, while BYD, CATL and other giants' layout in the field of special engineering plastics is accelerating the process of domestic substitution. In the next five years, with the maturity of multi-material heterogeneous integration technology and AI-driven material design platform, humanoid robots may break through the "mechanical" boundary, truly realize the anthropomorphic transformation of "flesh and blood", and open a new era of intelligent manufacturing.
