Viscosity Reducing Agents Market - Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, anPosted by Apeksha on August 2nd, 2018 Viscosity reducing agents are used for limiting or eliminating the viscosity in process where excess viscosity may cause product or monetary losses. Reduced viscosity results in lower friction which in turn eases the flow of liquid thus leading to lower requirement in power. Viscosity reducing agent enhances fluid load recovery and reduces damage created by long chain polymers. Viscosity reducing agents offer various benefits such as improvement in productivity and load recovery, lower friction reducing polymer damage, resistance to polymer adsorption to the fracture face and reduction in fluid viscosity.

Surfactants help in breaking down the boundary between water and oils and/or dirt. It also hold these oils and dirt in suspension, thus making their removal easy. Surfactants contain hydrophilic (i.e. water loving) group, such as an acid anion, (-CO2- or SO3-) and a hydrophobic (i.e. water hating) group, such as an alkyl chain. Surfactants are used in sprays for hair and body care, cleaning sprays and spraying of pesticides. Viscosity reducing agents are used to reduce the viscosity of heavy oils by suspending the oil droplets in water thus reducing the friction. Dispersants help to deflocculate solids and thus ominously reduce the viscosity of a fluid or semi-solid. This results in increased solid loading – the quantity of dispersible crushed material. Surfactants are used in the form of solution in water or alcohols for reducing viscosity of sugar propellant formulations. Viscosity reducing agents are used as both foam formation agents for culinary foams, body care, flotation, firefighting and foam prevention agents for cooling lubricants, printing and coating, industrial cleaning and liquid conveying. Increased acceptance of viscosity reducing agents in chemicals and oil & gas industry is fueling the growth of viscosity reducing agents market, especially in Asia Pacific and Middle East regions. Product innovation and expansion in various geographies is a key strategy adopted by the major players in the viscosity reducing agents industry. In March 2016, Dorf Ketal Chemicals India Pvt Ltd, leading specialty chemicals producer acquired US-based specialty oilfield chemical supplier Flow-Chem Technologies LLC.
