Market Research Reports

The   global petrochemicals market   features a highly fragmented vendor landscape and is intensely competitive, with the top three vendors, namely BASF SE, Sinopec Limited, and The Dow Chemical Company collectively accounting for a mere 20% of the market in 2013, observes Transparency Market Research in a recent report. Operations of these top vendors are spread across the entire value chain in order to gain economies of scale and undertake production at low costs to sustain in the highly competitive market. International firms are adopting the strategy of acquiring the several small manufacturers producing petrochemical derivatives in Asia Pacific and are expanding their existing production and operation bases in the region. ExxonMobil has recently increased the production capacity of its olefins and aromatic units in Singapore. BASF and Sinopec have also invested heavily in Asia Pacific through frequent joint ventures and mergers and acquisitions in the past few years. Req

Elastomeric coatings are generally used to provide tough exterior finish to concrete, metal, and plastic substrates. These coatings are widely applied on masonry wall surfaces and roof tops such as concrete tiles, blocks, stucco, and other exterior insulation finishes. Elastomeric coatings have a greater film thickness in comparison with conventional paints & coatings. Significant elasticity, toughness, flexibility, and surface adhesion are some of the key attributes of elastomeric coatings. These coatings are usually applied as double coats so as to prevent cracking of coating film as well as the substrate underneath. Moreover, elastomeric coatings can be suitably applied on plastic surfaces of automotive body components, as they are highly durable and keep the aesthetics unaltered. Acrylic, polyurethane, polysulfide, butyl, silicone, and vinyl polymers are the key elastomeric coatings available in the global market. Additionally, waterborne, solvent-borne, and high solids

Global Water-borne Coatings Market: Outline Coatings that make use of water as a solvent are generally called water-borne coatings. Usage of water as the solvent makes these coatings more environmentally friendly as opposed to other coating systems such as solvent-borne coatings or power coatings that contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are harmful to the environment. Water-borne coatings are employed in end-user applications such as wood coatings, furniture coatings, plastic coatings, and printing inks. Polyacrylate, polyvinyl ethers, or polyurethane resins are generally used as binders in water-borne coatings. Additionally, epoxy and alkyd resins can be formulated for water-borne coating applications. Few of the recent technology advancements in water-borne coatings include core-shell technology, latent crosslinking, 1K technologies that perform similar to 2K, resins with easy-to-clean properties, and resins based on green chemistries. Global Water-borne Coat
