News: Silicone Prices Soften as Chinese Capacity Expands

Authorized-reseller pricing across Irontech, Sino and Zelex silicone lines shows an 8–12% decline since spring 2026, consistent with expanded platinum-silicone capacity in the Dalian/Guangzhou cluster. Street entry for full silicone now brushes $2,200.

Status: verified via reseller price tracking. Our take: the hybrid's price advantage is narrowing. If silicone drops another 10%, the "best realism per dollar" crown likely moves — we will re-score the ranking if the trend holds through Q4.
