Cerium is a very soft and ductile metal which oxidizes very easily in the air. The metallic cerium is manufactured using metallothermic process which in turns gives cerium of higher purity. Cerium is used as catalysts and adhesives in numerous commercial applications. Cerium exhibits properties similar to that of calcium and accumulates in the bones in small amounts. Cerium can be found in small amounts in barley and tobacco plants.

Caprylic alcohol also known as octanol is a colorless liquid with penetrating odor. Caprylic alcohol is insoluble in water and its vapors are heavier than air. Caprylic acid is a fatty acid alcohol mainly used as intermediate in chemicals and pharmaceutical industry. Caprylic alcohol is used as raw materials in manufacturing of surfactants, conditioners and disinfectants among others. It is also used as an intermediate in manufacturing of plasticizers. Caprylic alcohol also finds application in synthetic resins lubricants as an oil base and as emulsifiers in emulsion polymerization. Caprylic alcohol also finds applications in personal care and cosmetic products such as personal creams and ointments. Caprylic alcohol is used as a lubricant in metal rolling market.

The global market share of the lamination adhesives for flexible packaging market in 2016 is estimated at US$ 1.3 Bn and this is likely to increase to US$ 2.2 Bn by 2024, projected to increase at a CAGR of 6.4% throughout the forecast period (2016–2024). In a new report titled "Lamination Adhesives for Flexible Packaging Market: Global Industry Analysis and Forecast, 2016–2024", Persistence Market Research throws light on the market growth of lamination adhesives for flexible packaging and identifies key factors and trends impacting this growth.

Sealants are chemical products whose primary function is to fill the gaps and form a barrier for any type of material flowing between the structures. In the sealants family, silicone sealants are the most versatile and characteristic sealants with wide range of properties. The significant ones include weather, heat and microbial resistance, water and vapor permeability and resistance to extreme temperatures among others. Silicone sealants provide vast range of residential and industrial application. In structural glazing systems, silicone sealants is the prime ingredient for bonding glass to the structural frames of the building. In addition silicone sealants offer UV resistance, which prevents surface deterioration by reducing dirt pickup and diffusions of fluids.

An organic compound that is having two oxygen atoms together is known as an organic peroxide. Organic peroxide undergoes self-accelerating decomposition and thus, result in rapid burning and explosive decomposition. Organic peroxide is available in various forms including solid, pastes or liquids. Few materials such as mineral spirits (odourless in nature), water and some of the phthalate esters do not react with organic peroxide. These materials are used to dilute organic peroxide. Diluted organic peroxides offer stability when exposed to physical shock or heat, as compared to the undiluted organic peroxides. Moreover, diluted organic peroxides are safer to handle, produce and use for further applications. In addition, organic peroxide is used as curing agent, high polymer initiator, cross-linking agent, accelerator, catalyst, hardener, activator and promoter. However, usage of activator and accelerator needs to be checked as these substances might result in accident, when mixed with organic peroxide.

Zirconium oxide, commonly known as Zirconia (ZrO2), is a white crystalline oxide of zirconium which is majorly used in the production of advanced and technical ceramics. Zirconium oxide offers good chemical and corrosion inertness at very high temperatures along with very high mechanical strength and wear resistance. Due to such physical, chemical and mechanical properties, it is used as an important refractory material. It is also used in insulation, enamels and in the manufacture of abrasives.

The market is estimated to be pegged at 1,856.0 kilotons by the end of 2016 and is anticipated to increase at a CAGR of 7.8% in terms of volume over the forecast period (2016–2024). In a new report titled "Australia Nitric Acid Market: Industry Analysis and Forecast, 2016–2024", Persistence Market Research provides in-depth insights into the performance of the nitric acid market in Australia and highlights important factors and trends influencing the market.

Increasing aging population that is vulnerable to organs failures and cure for the same is expected to be the main driver of the bioactive material market.

The practice of measuring the internal content of the remaining liquid in a certain tank employs a simple machine used on an industrial, commercial and domestic level across the world. The tank gauge gives visual guidance to the user or owner regarding the amount of the liquid present in the tank or container. Robust growth in petroleum products, lubricants and other rain water harvesting fields has surged the demand for their storage and transportation across the globe. This eventually will boost growth of the tank gauge market over the forecast period. Major growth is observed in water and waste water treatment projects, which are likely to be executed in rural areas of emerging economies, such as India, and China. With a wide range of applications for different types of liquids, many companies are expected to incline towards manufacturing tank gauges on the basis of consumer requirement to increase their productivity. Upcoming tank gauges are embedded with innovative technologies, such as GPS tracking to provide frequent information to the user at any location. Attributing to such a high level of innovation, consumers encounter lower maintenance and technical difficulties. Moreover, the need for manpower and operation and maintenance costs have reduced, which has resulted in an accelerated demand for products offered in the tank gauge market. Thus, development in features with sustainable technologies and low maintenance are expected to exile traditional methods over the forecast period.

With increasing awareness about the automobile safety measures and the increasing demand for safety systems in the automobiles that are better than the traditional ones, the demand for seatbelt retractors is expected to go up.
