Market Definition
Optically clear adhesive is the bonding technology widely used to bind display devices, touch panels, and cover lens or other optic materials such as sensors. Optically clear adhesives are transparent or colorless substances that allow the entire surface area of a screen of the device to bond properly without any distortion.
Middle East and Africa Polyethylene Wax Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Increased usage of polyethylene wax in packaging
The excellent features of PE wax help improve the quality of varied materials such as petroleum wax blends, plastic additives, rubber processing, and various other blends. Hence, the usage of PE wax has increased tremendously, and it has been seen that the most common application found for PE wax is in food packaging applications.
- Increased usage of polyethylene wax as a smoothing agent in textiles
Polyethylene acts as a lubricating agent, providing suppleness and softness to the applied fabric, which is very fast compared to continuous launderings. In the finishing bath of resin, 15 to 20 kg/liter of polyethylene wax emulsion can be used. The emulsion is also used as a finishing agent for whom the fabric may be padded between diluted emulsions at a suitable concentration, and the percent required in emulsion should be 1%-5% of polyethylene wax on the fabric. After this, the pad liquor should be easily made by diluting the polyethylene emulsion for the required volume.
- Increasing usage of PE wax in masterbatches
The usage of polyethylene wax has been increased in the formulation of masterbatches. It provides consistent coloration with high color strength. Polyethylene wax helps enhance the process reliability and reduces the cost through less downtime. It also increases the flow ability of the high masterbatches. Polyethylene wax helps in preventing the cracking of fiber at the time of spinning.
Opportunity
- Applications of synthetic wax for improvement of foamed bitumen parameters
Polyethylene wax shows this effect for some bitumen. The bitumen was modified with a synthetic wax to acknowledge the broader range of applications, resulting in favorable foaming parameters with perfect foam dispersion and fine coatings. The penetration, softening point, penetration index, and range of plasticity are improved due to this enhancing quality of the synthetic wax upon some foamed bitumen parameters. The addition of synthetic wax changed the bitumen grade, contributing to pavement layer improvements. It also expanded the plasticity range of the foamed bitumen.
Restraint/Challenge
- Swallowing of wax can create a choking hazard
Wax is a greasy and oily solid that melts on heating. When this material is swallowed in large amounts, it becomes poisonous to the body. Wax poisoning is caused due to mixture of different polyolefins such as polyesters, acrylics, polyacetals, and others. Generally, waxes are non-toxic substances but intake of much quantity of wax may cause harm. The addition of synthetic chemicals and colors makes the wax toxic.
