Heat stabilizers are a class of chemical additives that are used to reduce the degrading effects of heat generated during processing of the biopolymer composition under severe conditions including (shearing, temperature, and oxygen). When incorporated into a polymer, heat stabilizers protect the properties of the overall compound from heat damage, either during the manufacturing process or during normal use of the finished product. While different polymers have varying degrees of heat resistance, heat stabilizers are added to virtually all polymer types. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the most common polymer that benefits from a heat-stabilizing additive.
Heat stabilizers market is mainly driven by increasing widespread application of PVC in different end-use industries. Moreover, replacement of conventional materials such as glass, wood, or metals across numerous industries by the PVC is also likely to impact positively to the growth of the market. Further increasing demand for organic thermal stabilizers with low Voc is likely to boost the growth of the market. In addition, PVC is used in several applications, ranging from flooring, wires, cables, and film made from plasticized vinyl to tubes, pipe, sheets, and profiles processed from rigid PVC which is likely to boost the growth of the market over the forecast period.
The report analyses the Heat Stabilizers Market based on type, application and geography.
The various types of heat stabilizers studied in this report include heavy metal, metallic soaps, organic heat stabilizers etc. The heavy metals heat stabilizers consists of lead, cadmium, tin, and others. The metallic soaps heat stabilizersinclude calcium-based and mixed metal stabilizers (Ba-Zn, Ca-Zn, Mg-Zn, others). The organic heat stabilizers incorporates organometallic (organotin) and non-metallic organic stabilizers. Lead stabilizer finds major applications in pipe formulations mainly Europe and Asia region. However, because of heavy metal content, the usage of lead stabilizer is expected to be phased out gradually or reduced significantly. For instance, The European Council has decided to reduce lead stabilizer levels voluntarily in coming years. It is anticipated that pipes may move from lead stabilizer to either calcium-zinc or organic stabilizer.
Heat stabilizers finds application in pipes & fittings (irrigation, electrical), profiles & tubing (automotive interior and exterior, construction fittings) wires & cables, coatings & floorings etc. Among aforementioned applications, there is growing demand of heat stabilizers in pipes & fittings as construction is the largest industry using PVC materials blended with heat stabilizers in pipes.
By geography, the heat stabilizers market is studied across the countries of key regions such as, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and rest of the world regions which includes Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest growing market for heat stabilizers during the forecast period. The significant demand for PVC from the growing end-user industries such as building & construction, automobile, among others are contributing to the product market. North America is expected to exhibit a steady demand for heat stabilizers during the forecast period. Widespread application of PVC in construction & renovation, early product commercialization, and rapid adoption of environment-friendly heat stabilizers by general consumers in this region is expected to propel the market growth over the forcast period in this region.
