Siloxane Copolymer
Lubricants Market: Introduction
·
Siloxanes or silicones are saturated silicone-oxygen hydrides
used as sealants in various industrial applications. Siloxanes are chain
polymers made up of a silicon-oxygen-silicon backbone with organic side chains
attached to each silicon atom.
·
Siloxane polymers possess exceptional physical, chemical, and
electrical properties. Due to these properties, silicones are used as lubricants
in a PDMS compound form and also known as non-curing sealant/vacuum grease.
·
Siloxane copolymer lubricants offer unique properties such as
low surface tension, better application lifespan through high thermal and
oxidation stability, and resistance against corrosion and chemicals. Their
lubricity properties such as surface heat and friction reduction make them
superior lubricants compared to other conventional products.
·
Siloxane copolymer lubricants are also compatible with most of
the plastics and elastomers. However, they are suitable for high temperature
range and offer lubricity at high temperature without affecting the performance
at lower temperature.
·
Copolymers such as Phenyl Methyl Silicone and Fluorosilicone are
used as raw materials to manufacture siloxane copolymer lubricants. Combination
product of these copolymers offers enhanced thermal stability and wear
resistance.
·
Siloxane copolymer lubricants are economical alternative for
many applications compared to other lubricant products such as PTFE, Li- and
Li-complex soaps, and Polyurea
Rise in Demand for
Maintenance Services for Various Automotive Parts to Drive Global Siloxane
Copolymer Lubricants Market
·
Increase in demand for lightweight vehicles and other heavy
commercial vehicles across the globe is anticipated to boost the demand for
maintenance services for various vehicle parts. This is a key factor driving
the global
siloxane copolymer lubricants market.
·
Regular maintenance of machinery, reduced downtime, and lower
operation cost are expected to propel the siloxane copolymer lubricants market
during the forecast period
·
Use of alternative lubricants such as PTFE and
perfluoropolyether is a key factor expected to restrain the siloxane copolymer
lubricants market in the near future
Phenyl-Fluoro-silicone
(PFPE) Segment to Offer Lucrative Opportunities
·
Based on raw material, the market is segmented into Dimethyl
Silicone (PDMS), Phenyl Methyl Silicone (PMPS), Fluorosilicone (FA), and
Phenyl-Fluoro-silicone (PFPE)
·
Flourosilicone based lubricants offer properties such as
resistance against heavy loads and harsh environment. Moreover, they withstand
against high and low temperatures. Phenyl Methyl Silicone based lubricants
offer thermal and oxidation stability.
·
Phenyl-Fluoro-silicone (PEPF) based lubricants are combination
of both and offer wear resistance, improved lubricity, and higher thermal
stability. These lubricants are a cost-effective solution for wide temperature
range.
