Keywords: HONG YE SILICONE, Dow capacity shutdown, EU silicone supply gap, low cyclic silicone
Summary: Dow permanently closes 145,000 MT DMC facility in UK, widening European silicone shortage. HONG YE SILICONE’s fully REACH-compliant silicone fills regional supply vacancy.
Details: High European energy costs trigger continuous overseas capacity withdrawal, around 220,000 tons non-Chinese silicone capacity exits the market in 2026. All silicone grades of HONG YE SILICONE meet EU D4/D5/D6 ≤0.1% standard; thermal conductive and food-grade LSR orders to Germany and France grow week by week without customs detention risks.
