Purity 99.5% is a type of 1,4 Butylene Glycol (1,4BG) which has purity level as per the U.S. FDA regulations and it's in compliance with EU legislation for usage in cosmetics & personal care products and food contact applications.
Purity 99.6% Type:
Purity 99.6% is a type of 1,4 Butylene Glycol (1,4BG) which has purity level as per the European Union (EU) regulation no. 1272/2012 and American Petroleum Institute (API) standards section 2.16-1951.
Application Insights:
The PBT resin raw material segment led the global 1,4 Butylene Glycol (1,4BG) market and accounted for more than 45.0% of the revenue share in 2017. The demand is anticipated to be high owing to its extensive use in manufacturing various products including adhesives, casting resins, footwear soles and fibers used in textile applications.
PBT resin manufactured using 1,4BG as a major component exhibits superior properties such as low moisture absorption and release compared to other polyester resins manufactured using different types of glycols such as ethylene glycol or propylene glycol. It also has better processing characteristics when compared with other polymers like nylon which makes it suitable for application in coatings & printing inkjet media where water resistance is required from the product.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest market for global 1,4BG in 2016 and is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The region accounts for a major share of global production owing to cheap labor cost and availability of raw material at economical prices. China emerged as a key consumer in this region due to easy availability of raw materials coupled with growing demand from end-use industries such as automotive, construction, packaging etc.
China emerged as the dominant consumer in APAC regional market on account of rapid industrialization along with increasing automobile production across various countries including India and Japan. In addition, rising number of chemical manufacturing companies are likely to drive industry expansion over next eight years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for 1,4BG in cosmetics and personal care products
- Rising demand from the pharmaceutical industry
- Growing use of 1,4BG in food and beverage applications
- Increasing popularity of polyurethanes as a versatile engineering material
- Technological advancements that improve the efficiency of 1,4BG production processes
