Product Definition:
A solid film lubricant is a material that is applied as a thin film to the surface of another material to reduce friction and wear. Solid film lubricants are typically made from metal oxides, such as titanium dioxide or aluminum oxide, and can be used in a variety of applications, including automotive systems, industrial equipment, and medical devices.
PTFE Type:
It has superior properties such as chemical inertness, high tensile strength, and excellent resistance to solvents & temperatures. PTFE is widely used in the manufacturing of SFL owing to its ability to provide solid lubrication at low volatility with good wetting characteristics under pressure and temperature conditions.
Molybdenum Disulfide Type:
Molybdenum disulfide is a toxic, blue-green, crystalline compound. It has strong oxidizing properties and is highly soluble in water. The compound was first synthesized by the French chemists Louis Charles André and Michel Adanson in 1827 as an intermediate for the preparation of other chemicals.
Application Insights:
Automotive was the largest application segment in 2017 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The product has emerged as an effective alternative to conventional lubricants owing to its superior properties including low volatility, high thermal stability, and non-contamination with other fluids. Solid film lubricants are used in various automotive applications including engine oil, transmission fluid, brake band friction material among others.
The textile industry is anticipated to emerge as one of the prominent end-use industries for SFL over the coming years owing to its ability not only prevent rust but also enhance fabric life by preventing pilling.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region is home to several emerging economies, including China, India, Indonesia and Malaysia. These countries are witnessing strong economic growth owing to various factors such as increasing population, rising disposable income of consumers and rapid industrialization & urbanization.
China has been one of the largest markets for SFL globally due to high product demand from industries including automotive; energy; textile; construction; aerospace & defense among others.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from end-use industries: The global SFL market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2017 to 2025, owing to the increasing demand from end-use industries such as automotive, aerospace & defense, and industrial machinery.
- Rising awareness about the benefits of SFL: The growing awareness about the benefits of using SFL is another key factor driving its growth. Some of these benefits include reduced wear and tear, lower maintenance costs, and longer equipment life cycle.
- Technological advancements: The development of new technologies that can improve the performance of SFL products is also propelling their growth globally. For instance, recent technological advancements in nanotechnology have led to the introduction of novel nanostructured solid film lubricants that offer better performance than traditional products.
