Melamine is a key organic chemical used in the manufacture of laminates and decorative panels. It readily reacts with formaldehyde to produce melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resins. These resins are widely used in a broad range of applications such as adhesives, molding compounds, surface coatings, paper treatments, textiles, and flame retardants. Robust growth in the global building and construction industry is projected to drive the global melamine market from 2015 to 2023. Furthermore, rising importance of lightweight vehicles with lower emissions and increased fuel efficiency is another key driver for the melamine market from 2015 to 2023. Melamine resins are used in the production of adhesives, which have further applications in automotive production and assembly. Volatility in urea prices and increasing consumer concerns toward formaldehyde emission from melamine-based molding compounds are key inhibitors of the market. However, melamine foams are anticipated to offer growth opportunities as they exhibit high sound absorption capacity and possess an intrinsic property of flame retardancy. The melamine market faces partial threat from various substitutes such as liquefied wood, soy, and powder coatings in different end-use applications; however, complete substitution is still not prevalent.

The hemostasis and tissue sealing agents market involves the study of wide range of hemostat, tissue sealant and adhesion barrier products which helps the surgeons to control bleeding during the surgery. These products play an important role in management of bleeding within the damaged blood vessels in surgical procedures. The market of hemostasis and tissue sealing agents is witnessing positive growth due to the introduction of technology advanced and cost effective hemostat and tissue sealing products by key companies. For example, in June 2013, Advance Medical Solution Group plc received approval for 2-octyl cyanoacrylate synthetic tissue adhesive.

Oral contraceptive pills are birth control pills including progestin and estrogen hormones. These hormones induce contraception/birth control by preventing ovulation. These pills are also known as combined pills or combined oral contraceptive pills (COCP). Combined oral contraceptive pills are available in five different packs: the 21-day pack, the 24-day pack, the 28-day pack, the 91-day pack and the four-phase regimen. Bayer's Yaz and Loestrin are the most widely preferred brands of the 24-day pack. Barr Laboratories' Seasonale and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries' Seasonique are preferred in the 91-day pack sub-segment. In the four-phase regimen, Bayer's Natazia dominates the market.

Turpentine is a colorless or yellowish liquid having extremely strong pine-like fragrance. Turpentine is a volatile oil that is extracted from the pine resins which is obtained from the trees of the genus Pinus. Turpentine is composed of terpenes which mainly consist of the monoterpenes such as alpha-pinene and beta-pinene with small quantities of careen, dipentene, camphene and terpinolene. Turpentine is often replaced by mineral turpentine or other petroleum distillates which are very different chemically. Turpentine is easily soluble in non-polar solvents, acetone, diethyl ether and absolute ethanol among others. Turpentine finds wide applications as solvents for paints, enamels and varnishes as well as raw material for manufacturing important products.

Lubricants can be mainly divided into two types - synthetic and bio-based lubricants. Synthetic lubricants primarily include chemical-based and mineral-based lubes. Chemical-based lubes are commonly processed from polyolefin, polyesters, polyglycols, non-PAO synthetics, esters, alkylated naphthalene and alkylated benzene. Mineral oils are basically by-products or variants of downstream petroleum processing. Mineral oil contains uneven and less uniform molecules and particulates, as compared to synthetic oil.

Fuel cells are electro-chemical devices that transform chemical energy into heat and electricity by the oxidation of fuel (hydrogen, natural gas and methanol) contained in the fuel cell. The only by-products are water and a small amount of nitrous oxide which makes fuel-cells an eco-friendly, safe, and sustainable power source. Fuel cells usually comprise of electrodes and electrolytes between which the oxidation reaction takes place. The heat and electricity generated from fuel cells is utilized in various industries for different applications. Fuel cells are not thermal energy based and generate the power using hydrogen as a basic ingredient. Hydrocarbon fuels such as methanol, natural gas and ethanol are also used in extracting hydrogen during the reformation procedure.
