In China, 67,600 tons of organosilicone are used in building materials production annually, accounting for 41% of Asia's organosilicone sales in this segment. Construction has provided about 9 per cent of China's jobs since 2010

Silicone products are used in building sealants, adhesives and protective coatings. These silicone products help to protect, enhance and preserve the building and provide aesthetic and innovative features to the building. Silicone is widely used in the construction industry because:

Silicone can be bonded to concrete, glass, granite, marble, aluminum, steel and plastics

Silicone is durable and can resist corrosion from bad weather, humidity or sunlight

Silicone improves energy efficiency in buildings, resists moisture when used as a sealant and resists hot and cold air coming from joints and crevice, and helps insulate buildings

Silicone provides flexibility to reduce damage to buildings from moderate to low intensity earthquakes

Thanks to these unique properties, silicone is essential not only for residential and office buildings, but also for Bridges, oil RIGS, industrial plants and pipelines.
