Wood preservation chemicals are applied to wood to prevent it from decay, decomposition, and other hazards such as fire. These also enhance the life of wood. Wood preservation chemicals are of four types: water-borne preservatives, oil-borne preservatives, light organic solvent preservatives, and others (including fire retardants). These chemicals are employed in various end-use industries such as furniture & decking, construction, marine, and others (utility poles, etc.). Wide range of raw materials such as copper, chromium, arsenic, boron, and coal tar are used to produce wood preservation chemicals.

Nanoclays are layered mineral silicates that are divided into various classes depending on their chemical composition and morphology. Commonly used commercial nanoclays include montmorillonite, bentonite, kaolinite, hectorite, and halloysite. Nanoclays are employed in the reinforcement of liquid silicone rubbers, fibers, polymer films, hybrid phenolic friction composites, and non-woven and other composite materials in polymer nanocomposites.

Nanocellulose is a cellulose derived product that offers higher structural, mechanical, and rheological properties compared to its counterparts. Its unique properties include low gas permeability, high tensile strength, biodegradability, rheological modification, and high water vapor transmission rate. Nanocellulose is employed in numerous end-user industries such as composites, paper processing, food & beverages, paints & coatings, and oil & gas. North America and Europe are the leading regions in terms of demand for nanocellulose. These regions are expected to maintain their leading positions during the forecast period.

Asphalt additives are substances added to asphalt to modify characteristic properties of asphalt binder. Primary reason for adding additives to asphalt is to increase the functional temperature range of asphalt. Viscosity of asphalt decreases at high temperature and increases drastically at low temperature. This hinders the usage of asphalt in roads, pavements, airfields, and parking lots made of asphalt. Usage of additives helps overcome this shortcoming. Additives are also used to enhance the binding property of asphalt by strengthening the asphalt aggregate bond. Furthermore, additives improve the film thickness of asphalt, thus preventing cracking, raveling, and deformation. This, in turn, reduces maintenance cost of asphalt-constructed structures. There are different types of asphalt additives. However, varieties that are primarily used include asphalt rubber, polymers, and chemical modifiers. Fibers and fillers are also used as additives in asphalt.

Manganese carbonate is a water-insoluble source of manganese that can be converted into other manganese compounds such as manganese oxide by calcination. Manganese carbonate occurs naturally as mineral rhodochrosite. It is available in variety of colors such as pink, red, grey, yellow, and brown. In terms of demand, agrochemicals accounts for major share of the global manganese carbonate market. Additionally, manganese carbonate can be used in other value-added applications such as glaze colorants. It can also be employed as a chemical intermediate for synthesis of other chemical compounds. Furthermore, manganese carbonate can be used as a hematinic in the medical industry and as supplement in the food industry.
