Elastic Adhesives & Sealants Market Dynamics and Trends
The market is driven by the rising demand for elastic adhesives & sealants from the glazing and window panel applications as elastic adhesives & sealants are the ideal choice for bonding the glazing and window panels in many new high-rise buildings due to their advantages such as better joining properties, aesthetics, and longer bond life. Moreover, the elastic adhesives & sealants provide vibration dampening, lesser assembly time, excellent finish quality, and lower requirement for cold-conducting metal frames in glazing and window panes and panels. These materials limit the use of screws, nails, fillet bonders, and lightweight fittings. The elastic adhesives & sealants have demonstrated improved flexibility/elongation, impact/thermal cycling resistance, peel strength, and long-term durability in comparison to the conventional adhesives & sealants.
There is a rise in the launch of elastic adhesives & sealants. For instance, in November 2016, Bostik, a member of the Arkema group of companies, had launched a new olefin elastic attachment adhesive. This adhesive is the high-stress hot melt polyolefin adhesive that can be used to attach elastic strands to items such as disposable diapers and adult incontinence products. This product would be marketed under the trademarked name “Brilliance”.
In January 2015, L&L had launched a series of elastic sealants and adhesives, a range of high-performance, room temperature curing paste materials formulated to meet the demanding requirements of the global commercial vehicles industry. These products are designed to seal joints in the body structure to prevent water, noise, air, dust, and fumes from intruding into the interior compartment of a commercial vehicle. The range also includes elastic adhesive bonding materials with an excellent balance of strength, elongation, and creep resistance for applications requiring robust assembly of dissimilar substrates.
However, there is a lack of awareness regarding the availability of elastic adhesives & sealants is hindering the market growth. There is higher adoption of the conventional sealants in comparison to the elastic adhesives & sealants in the industries. Although the conventional sealants lack the advantages of the elastic adhesives & sealants the majority of the end-users are satisfied with the existing conventional adhesives & sealants as these conventional adhesives & sealants serve the purpose of bonding substrates together.
Elastic Adhesives & Sealants Market Segmentation Analysis
The global elastic adhesives & sealants market is segmented based on resin types as polyurethane, silicone, SMP, and others. The SMP segment accounts for a significant market share of XX% in 2019 due to increasing usage of the SMP elastic adhesives & sealants as these adhesives & sealants are odorless, free of isocyanates and solvents, and emit no VOCs. There are stringent regulations that prohibit the use of highly toxic solvents with VOC emissions. The SMP elastic adhesives & sealants are made up of silane-modified polymer (SMP) that is comprised of the polymer backbone which is terminated by silane groups. The silane groups can be independent or supported by urethane groups. The SMP elastic adhesives & sealants are highly flexible, moisture-curing adhesives and sealants that combine the best properties of silicone and polyurethane. These elastic adhesives & sealants don't require primers and have adhesion with almost every substrate. These adhesives & sealants are easily paintable. The SMP elastic adhesives & sealants are comprised of excellent weathering resistance, color stability, and UV resistance. The market is dominated by the availability of several SMP elastic adhesives & sealants. For instance, Simson’s PanelTack HM is a moisture-curing, SMP-based elastic adhesive. It is developed for bonding exterior flat façade panels like fiber cement cladding panels and durable plywood panels. It is comprised of characteristics such as Solvent- and isocyanate-free, excellent mechanical strength, long-term high elasticity with the optimum distribution of strain, good moisture- and weather resistance, simple and fast fixation.
Further, the market is also classified based on end-users as construction, industrial, and automotive & transportation. The construction segment accounts for the highest market share of XX% in 2019 owing to the high usage of elastic adhesives & sealants for structural and non-structural bonding on construction sites. There is growing adoption of elastic adhesives & sealants for bonding the materials such as plastics, composites, and acrylics in modular construction. The elastic adhesives & sealants are more favorable in comparison to the traditional techniques that cannot withstand the heat of welding, bolts may hamper the aesthetics, or cannot be bonded with other techniques. The elastic adhesives & sealants provide strong bonding and excellent stress recovery to retain shape after being pulled or bent. The durable fire-resistant or chemical resistant elastic adhesives & sealants are used for bonding the walls, facades, windows, walkways and balconies, floor bathrooms, and kitchens applications for residential or commercial buildings.
