Crosslinking Agent Market - Forecast Report on Smart Glass 2017-2025


Crosslinking is a chemical process of bonding links between polymer chains. The polymer chains can be referred to as synthetic polymers or natural polymers. The bond may be ionic or covalent bond. In a majority of cases, the crosslink is a covalent structure. When crosslinks are added to polymers, they lose the ability to move as individual polymer chains. Crosslinking is employed for both biological sciences and synthetic polymer chemistry. In synthetic polymers, the term ’crosslink’ usually refers to promote a difference in the polymers’ physical and mechanical properties. The modification of properties depends on crosslink density. When the crosslink density is low, it decreases the viscosities of polymer melts, a high density crosslink causes material to become very rigid and an intermediate density crosslink give polymers an elastomeric property and high strength. A liquid polymer can be turned into gel or solid by crosslinking. Crosslinked polymers are mechanically strong and resistant to wear, heat, and solvent attacks. The vulcanization of rubber utilizing sulfur is an example of crosslinking. The raw rubber is converted to a highly resilient elastomer. When crosslinks are added to rubber molecules, the melting point and hardness increases and the flexibility decreases.
The crosslinking agent market has been segmented on the basis of chemistry, application, and region. In terms of chemistry, the crosslinking agent market has been segmented into polycarbodiimide, polyisocyanate, polyaziridine, and others (amine, amino, and amide). A crosslinking agent should have characteristics such as good chemical resistance, good compatibility, VOC free, no gas developments, long pot life, and should be easy to use. The polyisocyanate crosslinking agent segment holds a major share of the crosslinking agent market due to its various applications as coatings in automotive, appliances, decorative, packaging, and industrial wood coating.
In terms of applications, the crosslinking agent market has been segmented into industrial coatings and decorative coatings. Crosslinking in coatings improves chemical resistance, appearance, and mechanical durability. Industrial coatings with crosslinking agents enhance color and corrosion resistance. Industrial coatings application includes coatings for concrete floors, metal building exteriors, concrete blocks, steel structures, and other miscellaneous equipment. The industrial coating segment of the crosslinking agent market is estimated to hold a major share both in terms of value and volume and is also anticipated to expand rapidly during the forecast period. This is due to the increased demand for eco-friendly and water-based coatings various industrial applications.

In terms of region, the crosslinking agent market has been segmented into Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America holds a prominent share of the market, followed by Europe. Stringent environmental laws, and industries shifting to VOC-free coatings are major factors that are driving the market in these regions. The Asia Pacific crosslinking agent market is anticipated to expand at a significant CAGR due to rise in usage of cross-linked coatings in industries and automobiles.
The polyisocyanate and polyaziridine crosslinking agents are costly, non-renewable and are slightly toxic to human skin. These factors are expected to restrain the crosslinking agent market.
Key players operating in the crosslinking agent market include Evonik Industries (Germany), Allnex Holding S.à r.l. (Luxembourg), Huntsman Corporation (U.S.), Covestro AG (Germany), BASF SE (Germany), Dupont (U.S.), Lord Corporation (U.S.), Aditya Birla Chemicals (India), Wanhua Chemical Group Co., Ltd. (China), Hexion Inc.(US), Ineos (Switzerland), Shanghai Sisheng Polymer Materials Co., Ltd. (China ), The DOW Chemical Company (U.S.), Stahl Holdings BV (Netherlands), and Angus Chemical Company (U.S.).

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
