Ignition Interlock Device (IID) is an advanced breathalyser connected to a vehicle's ignition system. The amount of alcohol in a person's breath is an indicator of an amount of alcohol present in his/her blood/body. IID prevents the ignition of the vehicle if the driver's breath alcohol level exceeds that pre-set on the device. IID is mainly connected to the vehicle dashboard or somewhere within the reach of the driver's seat. IIDs are used as a tool by National Highway Transport Safety Authority (NHTSA) for controlling and reducing drunk driving incidences.

The protective coating is a covering that is applied over a surface to ensure protection from external environment that could damage the function or integrity of an item or part. Protective coatings find application in consumer products as well as in heavy machinery, marine, automotive and oil & gas industry, etc. Protective coatings are generally classified by their basic resin types such as epoxy, alkyd, acrylic, or polyurethane. However, different blends of resin, pigments, solvents, and additives result in different serviceability and properties of protective coatings.

Cellulose acetate is produced by acetylation of cellulose with acetic acid by using sulfuric acid as the catalyst. Cellulose acetate is extensively consumed in various end-user applications such as cigarette filters, textile & apparel, photographic films, tapes & labels, and extrusion & molding. Cigarette filters was the largest application segment of the cellulose acetate market in 2014. Furthermore, it is likely to be one of the fastest-growing segments of the global cellulose acetate market from 2015 to 2023. Cellulose acetate tow was the largest product segment that held major share of the global cellulose market in 2014. Threat of substitutes is low in the global cellulose acetate market as it is derived from natural raw material sources and is highly biodegradable.

Coating resins are primary polymer compounds used in producing different types of coatings. Coating resins are advanced materials exclusively used in various end-user industries such as building & construction, automotive, marine, electronics, and furniture. Building & construction was the largest end-user segment of the coating resins market in Asia Pacific in 2014. However, marine is likely to be the fastest growing segment of the coating resins market in the region by the end of 2023. Acrylics was the largest product segment in the coating resins market in Asia Pacific in 2014. The threat of substitutes in the technology segment is expected to be high in the coating resins market in Asia Pacific due to increasing use of waterborne and powder technologies over solventborne.

Anti-tack agents are coatings applied on rubber to get rid of the sticking property from the rubber substrate. The substrate is usually dipped in anti-tack solution, which acts as an anti-adhesive for rubber. Different types of anti-tack agents are used in the rubber industry. These include stearates, fatty acid esters, fatty acid amides, silicone polymers, and soaps.
