Lubricants are substances used for the lubrication of mechanical components. Conventional lubricants are generally produced using petroleum based feedstock. However, due to growing concern over the use of petroleum based lubricants which have hazardous impact on ecological system and in order to reduce dependency on petroleum feedstock, strong emphasis has been laid on development of sustainable alternatives to petroleum based lubricants. Biolubricants also known as bio-lubes are the biodegradable and nontoxic lubricants. Biolubricants are generally produced by using raw material like rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, palm oil, coconut oil and animal fats. Biolubricants offer several advantages over conventionally used petroleum based product offerings in that these are non-toxicity, renewable, carbon neutral and environment friendly. Owing to high flash point and high stability, biolubricants are relatively safer to use over conventional lubricants. Biolubricants are used for a variety of applications across diverse set of industries including automotive, marine and construction, among others.

Hybrid adhesives and sealants are chemically hardening adhesives that are also known as polymer adhesives. Hybrid adhesives and sealants are high strength, single component, elastomeric sealants that have the combined properties of two or more different adhesive materials. Hybrid adhesives and sealants offer various advantages, such as easy and clean application, long-lasting joints, strong and secure adhesion with less substrate and low odour, among others. Hybrid adhesives and sealants are used in various applications, such as industrial and refrigerated trailers, shipbuilding, truck bodies, roofing, sandwich panels, air conditioning and ventilation units and many other industrial applications. Hybrid adhesives and sealants are water resistant, contain no VOCs, do not degrade when exposed to UV and are free of isocyanate, solvent, silicone & PVC. The environment friendly nature of hybrid adhesives and sealants helps increase their demand in construction and automotive industries. Apart from this, the use of hybrid adhesives and sealants is affected by the temperature and load bearing capacity of adhesion, owing to which they cannot be used in too high or too low temperature applications.

Since most materials possess some amount of inherent fiction and are viscous in nature, when casted in molds, they exhibit the tendency of adhering to mold surfaces when heated at a high temperature and pressure. Mold release agents are primarily used for protecting mold surfaces against destructive compounds and also for easily releasing parts from complex dies. Mold release agents are usually sprayed either electrostatically or pneumatically to reduce wastage and create a uniform surface. Mold release agents do not only create a physical barrier but also provide additional mechanical strength to the parts molded. With the use of mold release agents, the cycle time for each mold process is significantly reduced. Mold release agents allow the free flow and dispersion of filled polymers and also improve the surface finish while also reducing porosity. Mold life has also been improved to a great extent with the use of mold release agents. Water-based mold release agents also allow the cooling of mold due to the high evaporation rate of water, which helps in thermal management.

With the growing demand for aesthetics and comfort features in cruises and boats, there has been significant rise in demand for advanced marine floorings and deck coverings over the past few years. In the present scenario, marine flooring and deck coverings are designed from light-weight and non-slippery materials and also with greater resistance to ultra-violet light. The advance marine flooring and deck coverings have rapid drying ability, improved strength and greater durability. The marine flooring and deck coverings are made with greater noise control acoustic damping, which prevents the vibration which were caused in the steel structure, thus not radiating over a greater distance. Some of the other properties of marine floorings include excellent flame retardant, soil and strain resistance. Owing to the immense safety and comfort features, the global marine flooring and deck covering market is projected to grow at significant CAGR over the forecast period.

With the growing regulations and restrictions pertaining to energy conservation and reduction of fuel consumption, global economizers market is expected to create significant growth opportunities for industry incumbents during the forecast period. An economizer is a mechanical device which acts as a heat exchanger by preheating the feed water to improve the efficiency of the process. Economizers utilize residual heat from combustion products i.e. fuel gases, thereby improving thermal efficiency of the process as the process then requires relatively lesser fuel for the pre-heating the water in order to produce steam. Thus, economizers help in fuel saving and economizing the process and hence are referred to as economizers. Economizers offer numerous benefits, such as waste heat recovery and reduction of carbon emissions. These economizers also help in cooling gases in power plants prior to desulphurization. Thus, economizers help in cost reduction and water conservation. Improved and more efficient economizers are being developed to further improve the efficiency of the process.

Dust is classified as a fine, dry particulate matter made up of pollen, soil, minerals and many other particulates found in the local environment. The mining industry faces challenges like harsh climate, rising energy costs, water scarcity affecting the daily operations and overall productivity of the company. In addition, dust is created in every step of mining process such as in the extraction, storage & transportation, mine construction, processing etc., and so the companies need to monitor and control dust emissions at every stage. Dust suppression is a vital element to meet the environmental safety and health requirements which poses as a threat to the workforce present. In the mining industry, the dust produced during material processing operations is a major source of air borne fumes. Dust causes a host of problems for the mining operations like equipment failure, low-visibility issue, health problems etc. Dust also creates a potentially explosive environment. Thus, there are requirements for dust suppressants in the mining industry.

Linear alkylbenzenes sulfonate (LAS) belongs to the family of organic compounds. Linear alkylbenzenes sulfonate is generally produced from sulfonation reaction of linear alkylbenzene (LAB). The characteristic properties of linear alkylbenzenes sulfonate mainly depends upon the purity of linear alkylbenzene and sulfonation technology used for LAS production. Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate is a cost-effective surfactant that mainly is used in the formulation of detergents. LAS is a cleaning agent and it is used in cleaners and laundry detergents. Mostly, it finds applications in consumer products, followed by commercial products. Linear alkylbenzenes sulfonate is proved to be an environmental-friendly compound, which carries largest share of surfactant as compare to others. Linear alkylbenzenes sulfonate are mainly used in the personal care products, owing to its viable characteristics such as emulsifying capabilities, excellent foam generation and cleansings. Ever-increasing consumer awareness for cleanliness, due to increasing health issues, aging population and lifestyle diseases, is driving the demand for the global linear alkylbenzenes sulfonate market and is expected to rise over the forecast period as LAS-resultant products are not harmful to humans and the environment.

Automotive instrument cluster are devices that display critical information regarding the condition of a vehicle. This includes but not limited to fuel indication, oil indication, various warning limit indicators, speed, and mileage among others. These instrument clusters are factory-fitted in the vehicle during manufacturing and the demand tends to grow directly in co-relation with the growth in the automotive industry. Infotainment is the new buzzword associated with the automotive market, wherein the functionalities of both in-car entertainment and information pertaining to the status of the vehicle are amalgamated and displayed via a common display.
