Key Market Trends

Alkyd Resin to Emerge as One of the Fastest Growing Applications

• By application, alkyd resins attribute to approximately 20% of the global phthalic anhydride market, by application. Phthalic anhydride has been considered as a major reference resin, used for the manufacturing of alkyd resin-based paints and coatings.
• Alkyd resins are produced by heating polyhydric alcohols with diacids or their anhydrides. The alkyd coatings are the most highly consumed coatings across the world. They can be available as short-oil, medium-oil, long-oil, and ultra-long alkyd resins. Long-oil alkyd resins have good wood penetration properties. Thus, they are suitable for wood stains.
• Moreover, these resins are widely used to produce high-performance materials, like solvent-based architectural coatings.
• Paints and coatings, with excellent anti-corrosive properties, can be prepared by long-oil alkyd resins that are modified with maleic anhydride and phthalic anhydride.
• Factors, such as growing consumption of alkyd resins in developing economies, due to the rising paints and coatings industry, are, in turn, increasing the demand for the phthalic anhydride market.

Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate the Market

• China is the largest consumer of phthalic anhydride in the Asia-Pacific region, and the demand is expected to grow further, in the coming years, due to several factors.
• With decreasing prices of naphthalene and low operating costs involved in the production, the capacity of phthalic anhydride is also increasing in the country.
• Additionally, China is the largest consumer of plastics in the global scenario. The demand for plastics, like PVC, is expected to grow at a rapid rate in the country, in the near future, owing to the expanding packaging and manufacturing sectors.
• The Chinese manufacturing industry is expected to grow, on an average, by more than 7-8% every year, with transportation and heavy equipment manufacturing being the major growth segments.
• Owing to these factors, the demand for plasticizers in China is expected to grow at a significant rate in the coming years, which, in turn, is expected to boost the demand for phthalic anhydride used in plasticizers.
• Hence, the aforementioned factors are expected to drive the consumption of phthalic anhydride for various applications, during the forecast period.

Hexylene glycol is a colorless organic compound, which is also known as 2-Methyl-2,4-pentanediol (MPD).

Hexylene glycol is viscous in nature and miscible with fatty acids, organic solvents, and water.

It is manufactured utilizing diacetone alcohol through the hydrogenation process. Hexylene glycol possess various characteristic properties such as low volatility, high viscosity, and high emulsion-stabilizing properties. It is used as an emulsifying agent or surfactant in various applications such as cosmetics and personal care, antifreeze solutions, industrial and household cleaners, and industrial solvents.

Additionally, hexylene glycol is also used in coating applications as a component in varnishes, lacquers, printing inks, and water- and oil-based paints.

It is used as a solvent in dye preparation, inert ingredient in pesticide formulation, coupling agent in hydraulic fluids, and anti-caking agent in the cement formulation process.

Hexylene glycol finds application as a setting agent in the manufacture of textiles and as an intermediate for synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals.
