Fluoroelastomer Market- Industry Insights, Outlook, and Opportunity AnalysisPosted by anagha on August 9th, 2017 Fluoroelastomers are manufactured by copolymerizing numerous combinations of hexafluoropropylene (CF2=CFCF3), chlorotrifluoroethylene (CF2=CFCl), vinylidene fluoride (CH2=CF2), and tetrafluoroethylene (C2=F4). Also known as fluorinated elastomers, these elastomers have excellent resistance to swelling due to oils, chlorinated solvent, oxygen, ozone, heat, and fuels. Fluoroelastomers are extensively used in automobile industry due to their unique characteristics such as resistance to heat, sealing capability, and mechanical properties. For processes with short duration, fluoroelastomers can be used at higher temperature range of –26°C to 205-230°C. Request Sample of Fluoroelastomers Market: https://www.coherentmarketinsights.com/insight/request-sample/306 Fluoroelastomers are used for sealing applications in the chemical industry, owing to enhanced properties such as excellent chemical resistance and high operating temperature range. Fluoroelatomeric hoses are used in low pressure applications, paint spray extraction, and extraction at medium temperatures. Fluoroelastomer seals help prevent semiconductor process contamination by lowering extractables, dropping particulates, and resistance against degradation in harsh plasma. Fluoroelastomers are used in highly aggressive semiconductor wafer fabrication, oil & gas recovery, chemical processing, pharmaceutical, and aerospace applications. Fluoroelastomer Market Taxonomy On the basis of type of product type, the global market is classified into:
On the basis of application, the global market is classified into:
On the basis of end use industry, the global market is classified into:
Fluoroelastomeric O ring has excellent resistance to ozone, oxygen, mineral oil, high temperatures, fuels, aromatics, synthetic hydraulic fluids, and many more chemicals organic and solvents. This has led to the increase in consumption of fluoroelastomers as a preferred O ring material. O rings are used in engine oil seals, petrochemical system, high temperature seals, and fuel systems. Hoses are widely used in automotive and aerospace industries due to properties such as excellent chemical resistance, protection against abrasion, extreme compressibility 1:6, highly flexible, kink-proof, smooth inner hose wall, small bend radius, tear resistance, Uv- and ozone-resistance, high temperature resistance, and vibration proofing. Perfluorelastomers (FFKM) consist of fully-fluorinated polymer structure resulting in fluorine composition of over 70%. Thus, FFKM materials offer ultimate thermo-chemical resistance depicted by long-term high temperature compression-set resistance. In addition to this, use of fluoroelastomers has various benefits such as reduced repairs and inspections, less frequency of seal changes, increased process and equipment life for greater productivity and yield. Fluoroelastomer Market Outlook – Need for Heavy-duty and Functional Materials Expected to Fuel Demand Advancements in automotive, chemicals, and aerospace sectors have led to use of complex machinery, in turn requiring highly specialized and functional materials such as fluoroelastomers. Rampant growth of these end-use industries across the globe is in turn providing major impetus for growth of the global fluoroelastomer market. Asia Pacific is one of the major contributors in the market. This is mainly attributed to the booming automotive industry in the emerging economies such as India and China. In 2016, the Indian automotive industry accounted for total revenue of USS 31.84 billion. This along with the 100% FDI in this sector in the country has attracted investors such as Bosch, Continental Engines, ZF, Aisin Seiki Company, Delphi, FAG, Denso, Magneti Marelli, WABCO, TRW and Valeo. This trend is expected to continue over the forecast period, in turn propelling growth of the fluoroelastomer market.
