Rubber Processing Chemicals Industry: Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast
Market Segmentation The global rubber processing chemicals industry has been segmented by type, application, and region. On the basis of type, the market has been segmented into ant degradants, accelerators, processing aids, adhesion promoters, blowing agents, anti-scorch agents, stabilizers, polymerization regulators, and others. The ant degradants segment accounted for the largest share of the rubber processing chemicals market in 2017 and is expected to grow at a considerable rate during the review period. Ant degradants improve the resistance of rubber to oxidation, ozone, heat, and sunlight. The growing demand for tires and other industrial products is likely to fuel the demand for ant degradants. Accelerators are increasingly being used in rubber processing to increase the speed of vulcanization. The accelerators segment has been further sub-segmented into primary and secondary accelerators. Primary accelerators are used for their superior properties such as good processi
