It improves the surface properties including abrasion resistance and the reduction of friction. These additives also enhance the heat stability and lubrication of plastic during its manufacturing process and thus increasing the quality of the product. Silicone additives are commercially used in a powdered form, as using it in liquid form could lead to migration of molecular weight of silicone. Silicone additives have several other properties such as wetting agents, antifoam agents, rheology modifier, and others. Catering to its wide array of applications, silicone additives are used in a number of different industries namely paper and pulp, plastics, paints and coatings, personal care, food & beverages, and others.

Paints and coatings is the major end-user industry of the silicone additives market and the growing demand for better quality paints and coatings in the automobile industry fuels the growth of silicone additives. The additives reduce the surface tension, provide better quality and optical properties, and increase the longevity of the paint. On the other hand, silicone additives are also being used as wetting agents, emulsifier, and antifoam agents in the personal care industry. It is used in non-oily, water resistant sunscreens and also in deodorants, owing to its volatile nature allowing the deodorants to dry quickly. Moreover, silicone additives are also used in a variety of other cosmetic products such as shampoos and conditioners and also in make-up products like eye shadows, lipsticks, foundations, and others, owing to its emulsifying and wetting properties.
