Inkjet Colorant: Excellent color reproduction achievement in engineering and graphics arts applications: Evolving Technology, Trends and industry Analysis – 2020

Inkjet technology is a printing technology used in large-format printers for engineering and graphics arts applications, desktops, fax machines, workgroup printers and several other industrial applications. Besides printing on paper, inkjet technology can be used for printing on metals, glass, plastics, fabrics, wall coverings and ceramics. The ink used in inkjet colorant contains resin, colorant, solvent and additives. Resin is the material that carries the dye or colorant. It also is responsible in making the ink adhere to the surface, be abrasion resistant and providing UV protection. The additives are responsible for adding flexibility, better flow, formation, and longer stability. The solvent determines the ink’s dry time and enables mixing of the other components. 

Some of the major driving factors of this market include rising demand for high performance pigments and growth in end user industries. The paints and coatings industry is recording significant growth due to growing printing industry. Printing ink is another application of the colorants market. The demand for printing ink is driven by various factors such as technological developments and increasing demand for digital inks. The popularity of digital cameras has hugely increased the demand for inkjet printers that can print photographs. Similarly, increased use of colored documents has intensified office demand for color printing, resulting in greater overall demand for high-speed and high-quality printing capability. However, raw material price volatility, its global over capacity and environmental concerns are expected to act as restraints for the inkjet colorants market.

Some of the trends witnessed in this market are shifting of the manufacturing facilities from U.S. and Europe to India and China. Kao Corp, a specialty chemicals company from Japan, has developed inkjet colorants made of ultra-fine pigment particles encapsulated with a unique functional polymer for use in water-based inkjet ink. This technology offers excellent color reproduction achieved by giving the encapsulating polymer a high affinity to the cellulose fibers in the paper and by using compound colorants. This environment friendly innovation is an opportunity for the inkjet colorants market. 

The inkjet colorant market has been segmented on the basis of product types – organic pigments (blues and greens, high performance pigments, azo and phthalocyanines), dyes (disperse dye , reactive dye, VAT dye, direct dye, sulfur dye, acid dye, basic dye and others), and inorganic pigments (iron oxide, titanium dioxide and others). It can be segmented based on the following applications: paints and coatings, textile, construction, printing inks and plastics, leather and paper among others.

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 proto...
