High Temperature Elastomers Market

High Temperature Elastomers Market Size

Special polymers that are very elastic are elastomers. With a glass transition temperature far below room temperature, they are lightly cross-linked and amorphous. It is possible to perceive them as one very large molecule of macroscopic size. There are very weak intermolecular forces between the polymer chains. The crosslinks totally suppress irreversible flow, but at temperatures above the glass transition, the chains are very flexible, and a small force leads to large deformation. Thus, as opposed to other polymers, elastomers have a low Young's modulus and very high elongation at break. The term elastomer is often used interchangeably with the term rubber, although the latter is preferred when referring to vulcanized rubbers. High-temperature elastomers refer to elastomers with elastic properties consisting of long-chain atoms. These have general rubber uses for high-performance chemical and automotive industries.

Global High-Temperature Elastomers Market: Market Dynamics

Drivers

Rapid increase of automotive industry

The rapid growth of the automotive industry, together with the extensive use of high-temperature elastomers, is driving the growth of the global market for high-temperature elastomers. The automotive industry is experiencing substantial growth in emerging economies such as Latin America and Asia-Pacific due to rapid growth in the demand for high-temperature elastomers. The different beneficial properties of these elastomers include resilience, toughness, and resistance to automotive lubricants and excessive heat. In addition, in various other sectors, such as oil & gas, energy, transport, aerospace, and healthcare, high-temperature elastomers are commonly used thus results in an increase in demand over the coming years.

Increasing investment by key Players

Rising industry investment by key producers in the production of advanced elastomers is the main factor seen in the market for high-temperature elastomers. In order to extend the application areas of these elastomers and target new markets for business development, businesses have begun investing in R&D processes. The growing demand for new and advanced polymers with unique properties is forcing producers to invest in them.

Restrain

High Cost of Installation

The construction of a highly capital-intensive production unit is a major factor hindering the development of the demand for high-temperature elastomers. In comparison with other ordinary elastomers, the manufacturing cost of these elastomers is higher. Under favorable conditions, the use of ordinary elastomers may be cost-effective; but when the temperature rises, ordinary elastomers do not function efficiently and appear to fail. The cost of components made from high-performance materials can be much higher than the cost of another elastomer, but the added protection gained is considered to justify the higher price economically thus hampering the overall High-Temperature Elastomers market.
