has announced the addition of the "Solvent Market by Type
Application & Source - Global Trends & Forecast to 2018"
report to their offering.
Solvents find their usage in various industries for one or more
applications. It is used as a carrier to dissolve pigments and
other ingredients, as well as to enhance certain properties such as
the density of solutions. The major application is paints and
coatings, which accounts for a majority of the solvents usage,
followed by the pharma industry, adhesives, cleaning of metals,
printing inks, personal care products, manufacturing of rubber
& polymers, and agricultural chemicals.
There are several types of solvents, which are suitable for one
or more applications. The three major types of conventional
solvents are oxygenated, hydrocarbon, and halogenated. Oxygenated
solvents are the most widely used with hydrocarbon (specially
aliphatic) and halogenated hydrocarbons being gradually phased out.
Among all oxygenated solvents, alcohols are the most consumed
solvents, followed by esters. Among all the green & bio
solvents, alcohols and diols are the most consumed solvents,
followed by lactate esters.
The current market demand is concentrated on environmentally
safe solvents due to various regulations such as The Clean Air Act
revisions of 1996 and Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of
Chemicals (REACH) legislation of 2007. This is a driver for bio
& green solvents, which will help increase its penetration in
various end-user industries. Other market opportunities include
high demand from emerging economies of the Asia-Pacific region such
as China. This demand is derived from thriving industries in the
region such as construction and automobile.
