Thermoplastic Polyurethane Industry Driven by Extensive Growth of Global Automotive and Footwear Industries

According to a recent publication by Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) industry is expected to grow at a 5.5% CAGR during the period of 2013-2018, reaching US$1,746.9 million by the end of the forecast period. The global TPU market stood at US$987.2 million in 2010.The research report, titled “Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Market - Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Share, Trends, Analysis, Growth and Forecast, 2012 - 2018”, states that the global market for TPU is stimulated by the extensive development of the global footwear and automotive industries.
Thermoplastic polyurethane, or TPU, belongs to a class of elastomers completely thermoplastic in nature and possesses in abundance the distinguishing characteristics of elastomers such as elasticity and process ability on melting. Due to its elasticity, transparency, and oil resistance, TPU is employed on a large scale in various industry verticals. Paints and coatings, injection molding, adhesives and sealants, and extrusion are the major applications for TPU. In terms of volume produced and revenue generated, the TPU industry is headed by the application segment of extrusion. By volume, this market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period. In addition to this, the market for injection molding and the adhesive and sealants industry is also going through a significant phase of growth. In terms of revenue, the extrusion industry is developing at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period.

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

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid prototypi
