Ethylene Propylene Rubber Market is Expected growth in the Automobile Industry Applications Evolving Technology, Trends and industry Analysis-2020

Ethylene propylene rubber is classified into two different types of rubbers including EPM, which is an ethylene propylene monomer, and EPDM, which is a terpolymer and is based on three monomers including ethylene, propylene and a non-conjugated diene. EPM is an entirely saturated ethylene propylene rubber and hence requires vulcanization by radiation that releases free radicals such as organic peroxides. 
In contrast, EPDM possess residual unsaturation in its side chains and are therefore treated with sulfur and accelerators. Heat resistance of EPDM is comparatively better as compared to natural rubber and butadiene rubber. Due to the completely saturated hydrocarbon backbone, EPM and EPDM are ozone resistant, heat resistant and oxidation resistant. Owing to the advances in catalyst technologies and polymerization, polymers are designed and manufactured for specific purposes.

Ethylene propylene rubbers are employed in a wide range of applications including automotive weather-stripping and seals, garden and appliance hoses, belts, tubing, roofing membranes, glass run channels, rubber mechanical goods, thermoplastic vulcanisates, plastic impact modification and in motor oil additive applications. Ethylene propylene rubbers are employed largely in the automotive industry as these rubbers are exceptionally heat resistant and are not affected by the continually changing weather.

Ethylene propylene rubber exhibits stable and saturated backbone structure and hence provides high heat resistance and durability.  EPMs are used to a wide extent as insulators for high-voltage cables due to their better insulation characteristics as compared to EPDM. EPM cables are flexible and are better suited in places where regular cable movement is required such as in the mining industry.

Some of the key drivers for the ethylene propylene rubber market is its use in the automobile industry. The automobile industry has been growing in various regions over the past few years and this trend is expected to continue in the near future. Ethylene propylene rubbers are employed in the manufacture of automotive rubber stripping and seals. In addition, ethylene propylene rubber is used as an additive in motor oils and is employed in the production of engine mounts, windshield wipers and brake parts. The demand for ethylene propylene rubbers is largely driven by the automotive industry owing to its high resistance to heat, weather and vibration dampening properties.

The key regions present in the ethylene propylene rubber market include North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World (RoW). Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest growing market in terms of demand during the forecast period. This is owing to the growth in the automobile industry in the region especially in emerging regions such as India and China. The changing lifestyle of consumers coupled with the growing disposable income of consumers is likely to boost the automobile industry over the next few years.

This in turn is expected to drive the ethylene propylene rubber market during the forecast period. Europe follows as the second largest automotive manufacturing region followed by North America and RoW.  Additionally, the demand is expected to be very high in the BRIC countries with the increase in number of cars and better road conditions. It is expected that the number of car users in developing countries would increase in the next few years. Due to growth in automobile industry in the above regions, the market for ethylene propylene rubber is estimated to rise by a huge margin over the next few years.

 Some of the key companies present in the ethylene propylene rubber market include LANXESS AG, Firestone Building Products Company LLC, ExxonMobil Chemical Company,  JSR Corporation, , Mitsui Chemicals, Lion Copolymer LLC., Kumho Polychem Co. Ltd., SK Global Chemical Co. Ltd., and Versalis.

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a...

Virtual pipeline system market - Demand of cleaner energy alternatives, Trends 2025

Powered by the advancing concerns over renewability of energy sources has affected the natural gas industry positively. The transportation of oil and natural gas in a brisk, albeit safe manner has never been such an urgent requirement. With pipelines being the most common approach, they are the primary choice of supply of energy sources. Physical pipelines, being confined to specific geography, are not found to be effective in terms of unfeasible terrains or technically inaccessible areas. As a result, the virtual pipeline industry has been gaining recognition, and is slated to be one of the fastest growing markets in the upcoming years. According to a report published by Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global virtual pipeline industry is anticipated to witness a steady growth during the forecast period of 2017-2025. The industry opportunity is expected to be supported by the brisk acceleration of the demand of transportation of liquid energy resources. Industrial space...
