Optical Fiber Grade Silicon Tetrachloride
At the same time, downstream optical fiber and cable production enterprises not only to meet the normal procurement of the three operators, but also large quantities of foreign export, optical fiber and cable production enterprises are at full capacity production state, the demand for high-purity silicon tetrachlorochloride has been further improved, so as to promote the product price in the second half of 2021 showed an upward trend. Optical fiber preform belongs to technology-intensive and high value-added products, in recent years, with the ascension of distillation technology, due to the size of the communications industry development, optical fiber broadband deployment scale expands unceasingly, as drawn fiber upstream raw material market demand of the optical fiber preform long run will keep growth situation, the demand for high purity silicon tetrachloride will also continue to grow.
Silicon tetrachloride is mainly used in the manufacture of silicone esters, gaseous silica, silicone monomer, silicone oil, high temperature insulating paint, silicone resin, silicone rubber and so on. High-purity silicon tetrachloride is the main raw material for manufacturing fiber prefabricated rod, and the quality of fiber prefabricated rod directly determines the fiber performance. Therefore, high-purity silicon tetrachloride is the core raw material of fiber industry. With the rapid development of industries such as big data, artificial intelligence, 5G and the Internet of Things, the global coverage rate of optical fiber is constantly improving.
