Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f7zmsp/acrylic_resin) has announced the addition of the "Acrylic Resin Market by Type, Solvency, Property & Application - Trends & Forecast to 2019" report to their offering. Acrylic resins are thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic substances generally derived from acrylic acids, meth acrylic acids or other related compounds. On basis of chemistry, we can classify acrylic resins into three main classes, acrylates, meth acrylates, and hybrids. Acrylates are primarily derived from methyl acrylates, ethyl acrylates, and butyl acrylates. Few other complex acrylates like 2-Ethylhexyl acrylates (2-EHA) are also part of acrylates. Under meth acrylates, methyl meth acrylates, ethyl meth acrylates, and butyl meth acrylates are major classifications. Hybrids are blends of epoxy, phenol, urethane or alkyds with acrylics to enhance their properties. Acrylic resins are used in paints, coatings, construction applications, commercial and industrial applications, paper and paperboard industry, textile and fibers, plastics and adhesives. Paints & coatings industry includes segments like automotive coatings, decorative coatings, and DIY (Do-It-Yourself) coatings. The construction application varies from glazing sheets to sanitary wares. Acrylic glass is a good substitute for glass due to its hardness. The industrial and commercial applications include special coatings used in industries, tail lights in automotive industries, and treated acrylic glass for scratch resistant property. In paper and paperboard industry, acrylics are used as to improve printing quality, color, smoothness, opacity, or other surface characteristics. Asia-Pacific dominated the global acrylic resins market, followed by Europe. New projects and investment in Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Africa is expected to drive the industry. With the market participants' growing interest in the acrylic resins market, it is expected that the acrylic resins market will register a strong growth in the near future.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f7zmsp/acrylic_resin) has announced the addition of the "Acrylic Resin Market by Type, Solvency, Property & Application - Trends & Forecast to 2019" report to their offering. Acrylic resins are thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic substances generally derived from acrylic acids, meth acrylic acids or other related compounds. On basis of chemistry, we can classify acrylic resins into three main classes, acrylates, meth acrylates, and hybrids. Acrylates are primarily derived from methyl acrylates, ethyl acrylates, and butyl acrylates. Few other complex acrylates like 2-Ethylhexyl acrylates (2-EHA) are also part of acrylates. Under meth acrylates, methyl meth acrylates, ethyl meth acrylates, and butyl meth acrylates are major classifications. Hybrids are blends of epoxy, phenol, urethane or alkyds with acrylics to enhance their properties. Acrylic resins are used in paints, coatings, construction applications, commercial and industrial applications, paper and paperboard industry, textile and fibers, plastics and adhesives. Paints & coatings industry includes segments like automotive coatings, decorative coatings, and DIY (Do-It-Yourself) coatings. The construction application varies from glazing sheets to sanitary wares. Acrylic glass is a good substitute for glass due to its hardness. The industrial and commercial applications include special coatings used in industries, tail lights in automotive industries, and treated acrylic glass for scratch resistant property. In paper and paperboard industry, acrylics are used as to improve printing quality, color, smoothness, opacity, or other surface characteristics. Asia-Pacific dominated the global acrylic resins market, followed by Europe. New projects and investment in Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Africa is expected to drive the industry. With the market participants' growing interest in the acrylic resins market, it is expected that the acrylic resins market will register a strong growth in the near future.

Global Acrylic Acid and its Derivatives Market 2014-2018
M2 - Mon Mar 10, 9:55AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5lplth/global_acrylic) has announced the addition of the "Global Acrylic Acid and its Derivatives Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Acrylic Acid and its Derivatives market is expected to witness an increase in the production of bio-based acrylic acid. For instance, Dow Chemical, a leading vendor, is expected to commence the commercial production of acrylic acid derived from the fermentation of sugar between 2014 and 2016. The acrylic acid thus produced will be obtained from the intermediate 3-hydroxypropionic acid. Additionally, BASF is expected to collaborate with other companies such as Novozymes A/S and Cargill Inc. for the production of bio-based acrylic acid from 3-hydroxypropionic acid. According to the report, one of the most important drivers is the increased demand for super-absorbent polymers. Super-absorbent polymers are formed through the polymerization of acrylic acid. The increased demand for such polymers from end-user segments such as Baby Diapers and Adult Incontinence Products is expected to contribute significantly to the demand for acrylic acid. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in the market is the increase in the cost of raw materials such as propylene and Brent crude oil, which are used to produce acrylic acid. The key vendors dominating this market space are: - Arkema S.A. - BASF SE - Dow Chemical Co. - Nippon Shokubai Co. Ltd. Key Topics Covered: 01. Executive Summary 02. Scope of the Report 03.
