Hot melt adhesive popularly known as hot glue is a thermoplastic adhesive which is commonly marketed in solid cylindrical form of varied diameters. Hot melt adhesives are designed in such a way that it can melt in electric hot glue gun. Hot melt adhesives have unique advantage of fast processing over other adhesives. Unlike water-based and solvent based adhesives hot melt adhesives do not need drying after application. Hot melt adhesives begin bonding immediately after it is applied on the object because it cools down to its solidification point immediately. Such fast solidification feature of hot melt adhesives is ideal for industrial application that requires high speed manufacturing line, bonding versatility, large gap filling, fast green strength and minimal shrinkage.

Robotic surgery is a method of use of robotic arms to perform surgery. Robotic surgery is a computer controlled minimally invasive surgical procedure. Some of the advantages for surgeons of robotic surgery are greater visualization, enhanced dexterity and greater precision. Robotic surgery helps patient to reduce hospital stay, post operative complications and pain, blood loss and transfusions. On the basis of application, robotic surgery market can be segmented into neurology, laparoscopy, orthopedics, special education and others.

The global cell cultures market is growing at a significant rate due to rise in the healthcare expenditure increase in biopharmaceutical production. 3D cell culture refers to a process of growing cell culture in a 3D environment. A 3D cell culture gives 3D view to the cells grown which helps to analyze the cell culture in a better way. Extracellular matrix is used for growing 3D cell culture. Various applications of 3D cell cultures include tissue culture and engineering, biopharmaceutical production, cancer research, gene therapy, drug screening and development, vaccine production and toxicity testing.

Bicycle is a convenient form of transportation. It is an important mode of sustainable transport and provides price, performance and environment benefits over gasoline based vehicles. Cycles are non-polluting, inexpensive, and healthy for consumers.

Metal finishing chemicals are used to clean, plate and etch metallic surfaces which enhance their physical appearance and characteristics. Metal finishing chemicals help to alter/control various surface properties such as corrosion resistance, tarnish resistance, electrical and wear resistance; reflectivity and appearance, hardness, chemical resistance and electrical conductivity, among others. Electrolytic plating, chemical conversion, electroless plating and electrochemical conversion are the majorly used processes in metal finishing chemical industries. De-greasing, pickling, etching, polishing and cleaning are the supporting processes which are used along with above mentioned processes. Materials preferred for metal finishing are chlorinated and oxygenated solvents, surfactants, solutions of metal salts and acid and bases among others. Electroplating chemical process dominated the metal finishing chemicals market followed by electroless plating and galvanization process. Metallic coatings processes such as vapor deposition and thermal spray coatings are also likely to gain more importance in upcoming years.

Metal cleaners are used to remove dirt, oil, grease, stains, corrosion oxides, rust particulates, scale and stencil marks. Phosphates and phosphoric acids are used in preparation of acid and alkaline cleaners. Alkaline cleaners are effective for removing solid soils, fatty soils, oils and grease among others. Alkaline cleaners consist of surfactants, water and builders. Acid cleaners are used for removing lime, scale, smut and milkstone among others. Acid cleaners are combination of acids and salts along with detergents and wetting agent.

Maltodextrin is manufactured by partial hydrolysis of starch. It is used as a thickening or filling agent in food and beverages. Maltodextrin is manufactured from wheat or corn. Maltodextrin is used in foods, brewery and snacks among others. It is key element in sports drink resulting in more favorite drink for the athletes. It is also used in frozen desserts.

High performance fibers are those fibers which offer exceptional strength, heat and chemical resistance. High performance fibers are niche products but some of them are manufactured in large quantities according to the demand from end-user industries. High performance fibers offer various properties such as fire resistance, high elongation, high tension and insulation among others. High performance fibers include various fibers such as aramid fibers, carbon fibers, melamine fibers, polybenzimidazole fibers (PBI), fluoropolymer fibers, polyphenylene sulfide fiber (PPS), ceramic fibers and HDPE fibers among others. Due to unique properties of high performance fibers they are used in various end-user industries such as aerospace, automotive, buildings & construction, marine, energy, defense & military, electronics & telecommunications and medical & healthcare among others. Glass and carbon fibers are commonly preferred high performance fibers across various end-user segments.

Glycol ethers manufactured through reaction of alcohols with propylene oxide or ethylene oxide. Glycol ethers are compatible with water and other organic solvents. Majority of the demand for glycol ethers is from paints and coatings industry where glycol ethers are used as solvents. Depending upon the oxides used in the production of glycol ethers, the market is classified as P-series and E-series. E-series glycol ethers are manufactured from ethylene oxides and find applications in inks, dyes, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and personal care among others. P-series glycol ethers are manufactured from propylene oxides and find applications in cleaners, degreasers, adhesives and aerosol paints among others. E-series glycol ethers have higher toxicity as compared to P-series. E-series glycol ethers include ethyl and butyl glycol ether.

Laundry and boilers services play an important role in sterilization and maintains contamination free environment in hospitals. Laundry service is responsible for delivery of adequate amount of clean and sterile linen to patients and healthcare professionals. The major tasks of laundry service include collection of linen, washing, drying and delivery to users. Boilers are used for steam and hot waters for vital needs, such as space heating and sterilization of linen and provide hygienic conditions for patients.
