Market Definition
Polysulfide are the member of a sulphur class of chemical compounds which is containing one or more groups of atoms of the element. Polysulfide formed by the linkage of sulfur together by covalent bond. Sodium polysulfides are the polysulfide derivative, mainly used in the tanning industry to remove hair from hides. Lime–sulfur and sulfurated potash are the important compound prepared by heating sulfur with potash and lime respectively, these mixtures containing polysulfides used as insecticides and pesticides.
Polysulfide Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Rising demand in rubber industry
Several commercial elastomers contain polysulfides compounds as crosslinks. These crosslinks interconnect the neighboring polymer chains, thus conferring rigidity. Elastomers are commonly referred to as rubbers. Polysulfides are used as crosslinking compounds during vulcanization of rubber. The rising demand of elastomer in rubber industry are expected to drive the growth of the polysulfide market.
- Highly used in sealent
Polysulfide has branched with polysulfide sealants, polysulfide rubber and polysulfide adhesives, which are used for preventing industrial tank liner, aircraft fuel tank, and electrical potting amongst others. It is mainly used in the form of sealants to fill the joints in the automotive window glasses, pavement and other aircraft structures. Due to the polysulfide properties such as underwater curing capacity, high di-electric strength, and exceptional chemical increase the demand of polysulfide which are expected to drive the market growth rate.
Opportunities
- Rising demand of petrochemical
Petrochemical applications have been surging in automotive, transportation, building & construction, and industrial processing. While this has been creating lucrative prospects for growth of the polysulfide market because polysulfide is used for forming petrochemicals. So, the increasing strong domestic demand for chemicals and petroleum-related products will create beneficial opportunity for the market.
Additionally, high use of steel in end-user industries such as automotive, marine, and others industries because of its high ductility, ongoing product development and commercialization and also growing government’s investment to increase the manufacture of steel especially in the developing countries will further increase the market's growth rate in the upcoming period.
Restraints/Challenges
- Rising environmental concern
However, rising environmental concerns regarding VOC emissions of sulfur compounds is expected to hamper the growth of the global polysulfides market. Sulfur because these compounds pose environmental hazards such as soil infertility, depletion of ozone, and transportation of polysulfides such as hydrogen polysulfide in marine aerospace and groundwater.
Also, the high cost of raw materials and harmful chemical composition pose a major threat to the growth of the polysulfide market.
