The improvement of the penetration rate of silicone coatings in green buildings needs to be combined with technical optimization, policy coordination and industrial chain integration. The specific strategies are as follows:

‌1. Strengthen technical performance and scene adaptability‌
‌Improve long-term protective performance‌
Use silicone modification technology to enhance the weather resistance of coatings. For example, the BLUESIL™ series solves the problem of moisture penetration by reducing the water absorption of the substrate while maintaining air permeability (water vapor transmission rate ≥20g/(m²·h)) to avoid energy loss caused by internal condensation‌. Potassium methyl silicate can form a waterproof membrane with an impermeability level of P12 and a dynamic crack tracking rate of 0.5mm, which is suitable for high-humidity scenes such as basements‌.
‌Expand multifunctional application scenarios‌
‌Energy-saving field‌: Develop photovoltaic backplane coatings (light transmittance ≥90%), adapt to the needs of building integration, and pass the 3000-hour test for moisture and heat resistance‌.
‌Environmental protection‌: compound antimicrobial agents (E. coli inhibition rate> 99.9%) are used in hospitals and other places with high hygiene requirements; the acid rain resistance of protective coatings for ancient buildings is 2000 hours without corrosion.

‌2. Improve standard certification and policy drive ‌ ‌Connect with green building evaluation system ‌ ‌ Promote the inclusion of silicone coatings in the green building materials certification catalog, clarify their quantitative contribution to reducing building energy consumption (accounting for more than 40% of the country), and link with the "zero-waste city" policy (such as the construction waste recycling industry chain). ‌ ‌Strengthen policy incentives ‌ Utilize the subsidy policy for low-carbon materials under the "dual carbon" goal to encourage developers to give priority to purchasing water-based silicone coatings with lower VOC emissions. ‌ ‌3. Build an industrial chain collaborative ecology ‌ ‌Upstream technology innovation ‌ ‌ Companies such as Elkem Silicones use SILCOLAPSE™ defoamers to solve construction jams, reduce pinhole defects, and improve construction efficiency; Zhongcheng Group has laid out the "construction-waste soil-green wall" full industry chain to reduce comprehensive costs. ‌ ‌ ‌ Downstream application scenarios landing ‌
Cooperate with benchmark projects (such as G60 Yunzhi Tiandi Industrial Park) to demonstrate performance advantages and verify its economic feasibility of extending the life of buildings by more than 30 years ‌.
‌Fourth, optimize costs and market education ‌
‌ Lower the threshold for large-scale application ‌
Reduce the cost of potassium methyl silicate through process upgrades (such as Shandong Aokai Chemical's green production process) and improve the cost-effectiveness in ordinary buildings ‌.
‌ Strengthen industry awareness and popularization ‌
Joint research institutions publish technical white papers, focusing on promoting the advantages of silicone coatings in carbon emissions throughout the life cycle (20-30% lower than traditional coatings) and maintenance cost savings ‌.
