The rising demand for packaged foods driven by emergence of retail infrastructure in developing countries is corroding the traditional market of products sold largely in loose or semi-packaged manner. This relatively new market sector is the key demand driver of the global paper packaging materials market. Rising demand for paper-based flexible packaging mechanisms especially, for the packaging of beverages is also a chief factor behind the swift growth of this market globally.

Cobalt is a metal which is found mostly in a combined form in the earths’ crust. Cobalt and its derivatives has various application in super alloys, reusable energy storage systems, wear resistant alloys, magnets, binder material, thermal spray coatings, orthopedics, life sciences applications and others. Cobalt is mostly combined with other metals and used in the alloy form. Cobalt based alloys exhibits high oxidation resistance and high tolerance to thermal variations.

Copper is a ductile metal with high electrical and thermal conductivity. The metal is used as a conductor of electricity and heat, a building material, and as a constituent of certain metal alloys. Its aesthetic, physical, and chemical properties makes it a material of choice in an extensive range of industrial, domestic and high technology applications. Copper is majorly extracted or mined as copper sulfides from large mines in porphyry copper deposits contain approximately 1% copper. Copper and copper-based alloys are used in a variety of applications such as construction, wires, electronics and industrial equipment & machinery among others.

Surfactants is a term derived by combining the term “surface active agents”. Surfactants are anphipatic molecules that help lowering the surface tension of liquid. Surfactants usually act as wetting agents, detergents, emulsifiers or as foaming agents. Detergency, substantivity and conditioning are important properties of surfactants owing to which surfactants are widely used in different industries. The major applications of surfactants are in textile, oilfield chemicals, cleaning, personal care, elastomers, food, plastics, crop protection, pharmaceuticals, soap and detergents. Other verticals where surfactants are used include pulp, paper, paints and coatings industries.

Ethylene is a colorless flammable gas with a musky odor. It is the simplest alkene and unsaturated hydrocarbon after acetylene. It is extensively used in the chemical industry. In addition, it is used in agriculture as a plant hormone to ripen fruits. Ethylene is used to produce ethylene dichloride, ethyl benzene, polyethylene and ethylene oxide among others. Industrial reactions of ethylene include polymerization, oxidation, alkylation, halogenation and hydrohalogenation among others. Furthermore, it is used as an anesthetic agent and as a welding gas.

Materials including surfactants, adhesives, polymers, lubricants, food additives, industrial gases, cleaning materials, elastomers and agrichemicals among others are classified as specialty chemicals. Specialty chemicals are materials which as classified under this category based on their performance or function. These chemicals are used in a wide range of industries such as aerospace, automotives, textiles, water treatment, industrial manufacturing, electronics, food and cosmetics among others.

Uranium is mostly used in nuclear power plants to generate electricity. The rising demand for electricity and the capacity of nuclear reactors is driving the uranium market. The global uranium market is expected to witness significant growth in next six years. Nearly 75% of uranium supply is through mining activity and it is expected to grow further in the coming years.

Ketones usually simple are compounds that contain a carbonyl group, and due to exclusion of reactive groups such as –Cl or –OH, ketones are considered simple in nature. Industrial solvent acetone and sugar (ketoses) are some of the commonly used ketones. Various methods are implemented for the production of ketones in academic laboratories on an industrial scale, and are also produced in certain ways by organisms. Ketones are manufactured in industries on a large scale as pharmaceuticals, polymer precursors and solvents. On the basis of their type, ketones are divided into cyclohexane, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and acetone. Ketones are a common term in biochemistry, however, a lesser known term in organic chemistry. MEK is a colorless, flammable, stable liquid with similar odor to acetone. MEK exhibits the ability to be miscible with water and other organic solvents. MEK is a valuable and powerful solvent for many solvents such as resinous materials owing to its exceptional solvency.
