The application and development of SEBS

Zeit: 2020-06-15 Zugriffe: 173

The global SEBS market is expected to grow at a growth rate of 3.91% from 2018 to 2023. The main factor is the increased demand for the adhesive and sealant industries. At the same time, the use of SEBS in tapes, labels and other construction adhesives is also increasing, which promotes market growth in specific industries. 

Rising demand from the automotive industry

In the past few years, the use of SEBS in the automotive industry has increased rapidly. The increase in usage is mainly due to its flexible manufacturing, durability, easy processing and low production cost. SEBS has high temperature resistance, chemical resistance and weather resistance, which are the main requirements for sealing applications in the automotive industry. In addition, compared with traditional polymer materials such as thermosetting rubber and EPDM rubber, it also has higher wear resistance, scratch resistance and aging resistance such as UV resistance and ozone resistance, which in turn increases Demand for SBES in the automotive industry.

The adhesive and sealant industry is growing fast

SEBS (especially in powder form) is widely used in the adhesive, sealant and coating industries. By being used with petroleum resins such as C5 resins, they are widely used to manufacture high-end adhesives and sealants. SEBS can be used as an adhesive layer for protective films, adhesives for tapes and labels, and can also be used to improve the elasticity of sealants and coatings. In addition, the construction industry in India, China and Southeast Asia is booming due to increased investment in infrastructure projects and the demand for more housing. Population growth and increased demand for adhesives, sealants and coating applications are expected to drive the growth of the global SEBS market.

Asia-Pacific leading market

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the SEBS market. China is one of the largest SEBS consumers in the world. It is also the world's leading PVC manufacturer and consumer. SEBS is being used as a potential substitute for various PVC applications in the plastics industry. SEBS is used to produce toys. The replacement of PVC may drive the SEBS market in the coming years. India's adhesive market is growing at a rate of 4.9%, which is the highest of all Asia-Pacific regions. Henkel and Fuller both build factories in India. Due to the continuous growth of the construction industry and the increasing demand for packaging materials in the food and beverage industry and the furniture industry, the SEBS-based adhesive market is expected to grow rapidly.
