Top Rated Report: Foam Blowing Agents Hydrofluorocarbons, Hydrochlorofluorocarbons Market

By -


The report segments the global market for foam blowing agents into: key product types, chief application areas, and key regional markets. Traditionally, the market has used hydrocarbons (HC), hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC), along with some other varieties of products such as hydrazine, CO2, azodicarbonamide, and water as the key foam blowing agents.
However lately, the concerns regarding high potential of HFC and HCFC products in causing global warming have accelerated the process of their final phasing-out from major industrial processes. Governments and international environment protection bodies are passing legislations to prohibit the use of these substances in industries. Thus, new blowing agents are being increasingly developed by leading foam blowing agent companies.
In fact, the rising focus on developing and manufacturing foam blowing agents with low global-warming-potential (GWP) is a trend that will have the most significant effect on the future market for foam blowing agents. Chemical producers with global reach, such as Honeywell and Arkema have started marketing their new-formed foam blowing agents with a significantly low GWP. These agents also possess the potential of high energy performance and environment friendliness over conventional foam blowing agents such as hydrocarbons, HFC, and HCFC, factors that will have important effects on the overall market for foam blowing agents.
Arkema’s Forane 1233zd blowing agent is known to have a GWP of 7 while Honeywell’s Solstice has a staggeringly low GWP of 1, both significantly lower than the yesteryears’ popular HFC blowing agent HFC-245fa with a GWP of 858. DuPont Flourochemical’s low GWP foam blowing agent Formacel 1100 (featuring a low GWP and reportedly 0 ozone depletion potential) has also recently received the approval of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program.

Research Reports Search Engine (MRRSE) announces the addition of a new report titled ‘ Acetone Market: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment, 2014–2020’ to its database. The report finds that global acetone consumption stood at 5.9 million tonnes in 2014, and is poised to grow at a meager 3% CAGR from 2014 to 2020 to reach a little over 7.21 million tonnes by 2020. The report has been published by Future Market Insights (FMI). Global Acetone Market Analysis Forecast: The key drivers identified by the study are: The chemical sector’s dependence on acetone as a solvent, the use of acetone as a chemical in several processes, and the escalating use of BPA in the global automobile sector. On the other hand, the report warns that hurdles such as increasingly stringent government mandates for the chemical industry and the growing acceptance of bio-based acetone will restrict growth to some degree. In order to offer highly detailed insights into various face

Global Industrial Logistics Robots Market Shares, Status, Opportunities, Market Forecasts, 2014 to 2020

By -
The main benefits of incorporating industrial logistics robots are doing tasks that people cannot or will not perform, minimizing cost of labor, reducing the frequency as well as severity of injuries to workers, enabling processes that are speedier, more efficient, and organized, minimizing product damage, avoiding duplication, and mitigating loss arising from theft. To Get Browse Full Report with TOC: http://www.mrrse.com/reports/industrial-logistics-robots-market Developing industrial logistics robots is a rather tedious process that requires high capital and this often results in the postponement of investment. Achieving this feat is the biggest challenge at the moment. Logistics robots need to be customized according to the needs of a specific industry and this renders the process even more expensive. Another challenge that arises from the technological shift is the task of training new and existing staff to be able to handle and use these new systems. Logistic rob
