Why Are Adhesives Producers Using Crotonic Acid Comonomer?

Crotonic acid is one of the vital ingredients used in the production of paints and coatings, due to its ability to develop copolymers when mixed with other chemical compounds. Additionally, crotonic acid monomer is also used for the formulation of a thickener, which is utilized in the production of glossy emulsion paints. These paints provide extra glowing effects and protective coatings to the interiors and exterior of buildings. Thus, the surging use of paints and coatings, owing to the booming construction and infrastructure industries, will fuel the adoption of crotonic acid in the coming years.

Moreover, the flourishing adhesives industry will help the crotonic acid market to grow at a CAGR of 7.9% during 2021–2025. According to P&S Intelligence, the market revenue stood at $592.0 million in 2020 and it is projected to reach $853.7 million by 2025. Huge quantities of the acid are used as a comonomer with vinyl acetate in the adhesive sector. The copolymers resulting from this chemical reaction are used in the formulation of acids. For example, hot melt adhesives are usually developed by grafting crotonic and acrylic acids onto metallocene ethylene–octene copolymers.

Geographically, China dominated the crotonic acid market in the recent past, and it is expected to retain its dominance in the coming years as well. Additionally, the country is also expected to consume crotonic acid at the highest rate in the foreseeable future. This can be attributed to the burgeoning demand for paints, coatings, and adhesives for the repair and renovation of residential and commercial buildings in the country. Moreover, the surging use of the acid as plasticizers, fungicides, and intermediates in the chemical, agriculture, and pharmaceutical industries, respectively, will augment the consumption of crotonic acid in the country in the coming years.

Thus, expanding paints and coatings and adhesives industries and burgeoning demand for automobiles will amplify the need for crotonic acid in the foreseeable future.

Surging Aircraft Sales Augmenting Demand for Thermal Spray Materials

Image
The mushrooming popularity of the aerial mode of transportation is fueling the expansion of the aerospace industry, which is, in turn, driving the worldwide sales of thermal spray materials. Moreover, the increasing defense expenditure of several countries, such as India, the U.S., Japan, and China is also propelling the growth of the aerospace industry. For example, as per various estimates, China will spend more than $1.1 trillion in aircrafts over the next 20 years.  As thermal sprays are extensively used in coatings, which are applied on turbo-machinery, such as high-pressure turbine seals, rotor-path linings, bearings, compressor seals, airframe, engine components, and oil seals, in order to improve fuel efficiency and fluid dynamics, reduce maintenance expenses, and prevent wear and tear, the soaring sales of both defense and commercial aircrafts are driving their demand across the world. Apart from the booming aerospace industry, the rising urbanization rate, especially in t...
