Market Definition

Peptizers serve as either oxidation catalysts or radical acceptors, which essentially remove free radicals formed during the initial mixing of the elastomer. This prevents polymer recombination, allowing a consequent drop in polymer molecular weight and, thus, reducing compound viscosity. This polymer softening then enables the incorporation of the range of compounding materials included in the formulation. Examples of peptizers are pentachlorothiophenol, phenylhydrazine, certain diphenylsulfides, and xylyl mercaptan. Each peptizer has an optimum loading in a compound for the most efficiency. Peptizers are used in the mastication of natural rubber to optimize its processing. They reduce the molecular weight of the polymers by breaking down the molecule chains. Increased use of rubber peptizers in various applications, such as natural rubber and synthetic rubber, for the tire industry and other rubber industries, is expected to increase demand worldwide. 

Middle East & Africa Rubber Peptizers Market Dynamics

Drivers

• INCREASING THE USE OF RUBBER PEPTIZERS IN THE MANUFACTURING OF RUBBER PRODUCTS 

The growing use of natural rubber by automotive, chemical, medical, and other industries is expected to promote the scope of peptizes on a Middle East & Africa level. As compared to natural rubber, synthetic rubber offers more abrasion resistance. Due to this advantage, synthetic rubber is increasingly used in rubber gaskets and seals. Rubber peptizers are used in the mastication of natural rubber to optimize its processing. This rubber additive ensures quality in the manufacture of Rubber Goods where there is little or no rejection. It requires specialty chemicals to achieve a good dispersion of fillers and perfect plasticity. Natural rubber without treatment is extremely tough. In this case, peptizers are used in the mastication of natural rubber to optimize processing. The use of peptizers, which is a rubber additive, accelerates the mastication over a broad temperature range.

• ADOPTED BY THE VARIOUS INDUSTRIES BECAUSE OF SIGNIFICANT VISCOSITY

Peptizers serve as either oxidation catalysts or radical acceptors, which essentially remove free radicals formed during the initial mixing of the elastomer. This prevents polymer recombination, allowing a consequent drop in polymer molecular weight and, thus, the reduction in compound viscosity. Peptizers are used in the mastication of natural rubber to optimize its processing. They reduce the molecular weight of the polymers by breaking down the molecule chains. In contrast to the mechanical mastication of rubber, chemical peptizers shorten the mastication time and lower the energy consumption, with the result that productivity in compounding improves. 

• INCREASED APPLICATIONS IN THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

The rapid growth of the automotive business has created a rise in demand for rubber additives within the production of tires as different rubber products improve resistance to sunlight, ozone, heat, and mechanical stress tires. Rubber additives are used for the improvement of rubber strength and performance of rubber. The demand for rubber additives for non-tire applications boosts market growth.

Opportunities

• ADOPTION OF GREEN TECHNOLOGY IN RUBBER MANUFACTURING

The adoption of green technology in rubber manufacturing has opened many ways for rubber peptizers, also as for the processing of natural rubber peptizers is one of the main compounds. The reduction of molecular weight and properties of natural rubber, such as viscosity, tensile strength, and compression strength, also decreased. Mastication is done for natural rubber only. Mastication can be done chemically (using peptizers). Chemical mastication of natural rubber results in chain session, lower molecular weight, border molecular weight distribution, and an increased number of free chain ends. Peptizers are chemicals that use for chemical mastication. There are two types of peptizers. Those are physical and chemical peptizers. Physical peptizers are lubricants that reduce internal viscosity and do not reduce molecular weight. Chemical peptizers are oxidation catalysts or radical acceptors.

• INCREASING USE OF RUBBER PEPTIZERS IN THE CONSTRUCTION SECTOR

The construction sector is one of the important markets for rubber chemical additives. A wide variety of rubber chemical additives is used in producing multiple components and ingredients for the construction sector, such as rubber tiles, gaskets, seals, and pipes, among others. The construction sector displays outstanding growth globally with increasing investments and construction activities. Compounding is the materials science of modifying a rubber or elastomer, or a blend of polymers and other materials to optimize properties to meet a given service application or set of performance parameters. Compounding is a complex multidisciplinary science necessitating knowledge of materials physics, organic and polymer chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and chemical reaction kinetics.

Restraints/Challenges

• EMISSION OF HAZARDOUS GASSES AND POLLUTANTS

Hazards caused by the industries on our environment come primarily in the form of air, water and noise pollution. There are a number of industries producing different synthetic and non-synthetic products, among which rubber industries play the role of giant backbone. The rubber manufacturing industry not only produces rubber goods as the prime product but indeed produces a massive amount of air, noise and water pollution as their by-products. A lot of volatile organic matter and other particulates are present in the air in the unit place and the facility. Also, different chemicals are used during manufacturing processes that are discharged as effluent into the environment. So the study was carried out to assess the air and noise quality of the workplace and Wastewater characteristics so that necessary measures can be taken to protect workers from occupational exposure.

• IMPOSITION OF STRINGENT GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

Rubber chemical additives are associated with adverse impacts on human health, which has been a challenge in the market. This might hamper the market's growth during the forecast period. Various governing bodies such as Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) strictly monitor the use of chemical additives in the preparation of rubber. The strict regulations on the use of rubber chemicals are likely to hamper the demand for rubber chemicals in the market. Since most of them are dumped into water bodies, the processing chemicals used for rubber are harmful to the atmosphere and marine life.
