Cold insulation is a technology that is used to reduce energy leakages from infrastructure to improve energy efficiency. Cold insulation market is segmented based on material type used which includes fiber glass, polystyrene foam, polyurethane foam and phenolic foam. Cold insulation is used in a wide range of applications such as HVAC systems, refrigeration, oil & gas, chemicals and others.

Conductive plastics are polymers which conduct electricity. They possess metallic conductivity or behave like semiconductors. Conductive plastics are a new variant of plastics with tremendous ongoing research to develop them further. It is estimated that, conductive plastics would find numerous applications across various industries. Many automobile manufacturers and aerospace engineers are studying conductive plastics in order to make them suitable for industrial applications. Conductive plastics are produced by incorporating carbon fibers, carbon nano - tubes or stainless steel fibers into plastic formulation. These dispersed fibers or nano tubes bring about the electrical conductivity effect in plastics.

Conveyor belts are primarily employed for carrying objects, from one point to another. The belts typically comprise two or more pulleys to rotate a belt in continuous circles. The material to be transported in placed on the belt and is carried to the end point on the belt. Commonly, two pulleys are employed for functioning of one conveyor belt one of the pulleys is rotated and it drives the other pulley while it is rotating. The belts are generally used for transportation in close distances, generally within a building.

Deicing fluid is the process of removing ice, snow from a surface. Deicing fluids lower the freezing point of water and typically comprise of salts, glycols and alcohols. Other methods of deicing include mechanical methods such as scrapping and pushing or by applying heat. Deicing fluid is sprayed on the surface using hoses or spray guns. Deicing is used in several application segments namely transportation, aviation and for consumer needs.

Amino resins are formed by the copolymerization of amino acids with an aldehyde. Based on the product types, amino resins are classified as urea formaldehyde, melamine formaldehyde and melamine urea formaldehyde. Amino resins are thermosetting resins which exhibit properties such as excellent tensile strength, resistance and hardness. They are mainly used as molding materials. Amino resins offer excellent functions to base materials such as increase in coating hardness and solvent resistance when combined with alkyd resins, polyester resins, epoxy ester resins and acrylic resins. Amino resins are majorly used as adhesives in wood panels such as plywood, MDF and particleboard, among others.

Nanotechnology altogether groups great technologies that deal with structures measuring less than 100 nanometers. Nanotechnologies are gaining great economic importance globally. Nanoparticles by means of new characteristics are being produced on a large scale since few years.A wide range of products consist of nanotechnological components or are manufactured using nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is used in a wide range of applications based on the functionalities and effects, which includes sensing technology, robotics, process technology, medicine and biotechnology among others.Nanocoatings, on a day to day basis are applied to a wide variety of materials such as plastics, metals, glass, textiles and ceramics among others. The definite properties of nanocoatings are dirt repellent, hydrophilic, conducive, colored, decorative, high chemical and temperature resistant among others. Coatings are the interface between the environment and product. They organize how the item interacts and what the consumer sees.

Antimony is a chemical element and exists in both metallic and non metallic forms. The metallic form is bright silver and brittle material. Non metallic form of antimony is grey powder. Antimony is a stable element in dry air and is inert toacids and alkalis. Antimony expands on cooling and is a bad conductor of electricity and heat. Antimony is among the oldest known element to mankind and has been used for varied applications since 4000 BC.

Bamboo is a flowering perennial evergreen plant which belongs to the grass family. Among the grass family, giant bamboo is said to be the largest member of the family. Bamboos are known to be one of the fastest growing plants globally, owing to the rhizome-dependent system. It is considered to be one of the most valuable non-timber forest resources in the world. The products of bamboo have great potential to thrive in the American and European markets. They are notable cultural and economic significance in South East Asia, South Asia and East Asia, as bamboos are used as a food source, as a building material and as a versatile raw product. Good quality bamboo is stronger than steel and hence, it is used as weaponry and building material.Bamboo has wide range of applications that include non-residential, housing, pulp, rural usage, packing including basket, furniture, transport and other wood working industries.
