Acrylic adhesives are adhesives manufactured using methacrylate and acrylate monomers as a major feedstock. Polymer mixtures are dissolved in methacrylate or acrylate monomer and the adhesive is produced as two different components. One component contains oxidizing agents mainly peroxide compounds such as benzoyl peroxide and the other component contains metal salts or amines as reducing agent. The components are mixed before application on surface or each component can be applied to separate surfaces to be glued. Upon mixing, the components react and trigger polymerization of methacrylate monomer.

Rutile is a mineral mainly used as a source of titanium. Rutile occurs as transparent or opaque crystals and is available in various colors including black, yellow, golden or reddish brown depending on the source. Rutile has tetragonal crystal structure with two four sided prisms. Rutile is commonly found as an inclusion with other minerals such as quartz and is present as needle or parallel fibers in the minerals. Rutile is also found as an inclusion of several gem stones including star sapphire and is responsible for the asterism effect of gem stones.

Medical imaging refers to the visualization of the body parts, organs, tissues or cells for clinical diagnosis, disease monitoring and treatment. The imaging techniques used in medical devices include variety of modern equipments in the field of optical imaging, nuclear imaging, radiology and other image-guided intervention. The radiological method renders anatomical and physiological of the human body at a very high spatial and temporal resolution. The radiology discipline covers methods such as ultrasound, CT scan, X-ray, MRI and other similar devices. Whereas, the optical imaging techniques include devices such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), which helps in revealing abnormalities at cellular level with the help of optical tracers for specific tumor cells.

According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research " Bottled Water Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2013 - 2019", the market was valued at USD 11.16 billion in 2012, and is expected to reach USD 15.90 billion by 2019, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2013 to 2019.

Growing consumer electronics industry is expected to drive the market for adhesive films. Electrically insulating adhesive films are indispensable part of the consumer electronics as they are primarily used for components, substrates, heat sink attach, lid sealing and packaging applications. Changing lifestyle and rising disposable income in developing countries such as China, India and Brazil is driving consumer electronics industry. Major players from North America and Europe are changing their manufacturing bases to China to reduce production cost. Further, replacement of liquid adhesives by adhesive films is expected to boost the market growth. Adhesive films are easy to transport and handle, require no solvents for cleaning or dilution therefore eliminating mix tolerance concerns.

Sodium thiosulphate is a colorless crystalline chemical compound used in several applications such as iodometry, photographic processing, medical applications and gold extraction among others. The growing demand from these applications across the world is expected to drive the global sodium thiosulphate market in the years to come.

Technological innovations have made computing of multiple probe signals possible across various imaging modalities. The market for advanced (3D/4D) visualization systems has seen proliferation from the advances in the field of computer hardware and software, in addition to advancements in the field of AV technology (3D) and PACS module. A significant improvement in the area of advanced visualization has been the move from a thick client to a thin client server and to cloud technology.

Semi submersible rigs are specialized marine vessels and are specifically used for the offshore oil and gas drilling market. The growth of the offshore drilling industry in the future is likely to facilitate the market demand for semi submersible rigs during the forecasted period. Fixed structures are not feasible for carrying out offshore drilling activities which is why these semi submersible rigs are gradually coming into demand. The semi submersible rigs comprise of a deck supported by pillars, which are further connected to pontoons. The pontoons generally go entirely underwater and provide a platform which isn’t susceptible to ocean turbulence. These semi submersible rigs generally find the most applications in areas where the drilling depth is above 500 meters.

Owing to rapid pace of technological developments and sophistication in the medical equipment industry results in availability of expensive medical devices especially the imaging devices. The overall healthcare industry is influenced by several factors such as increased life expectancy, consistent rise in geriatric population, escalating national healthcare spending and increased incidence of chronic disorders across the globe. Also, it is witnessing the widened horizons of private healthcare sector as against public healthcare sector. All these factors collectively results in increased need and demand for efficient medical equipment to facilitate effective diagnosis and treatments. Furthermore, due to these factors, the private and public healthcare organizations or healthcare service providers are under a constant pressure to match the pace of medical technologies and offer optimum treatment and care despite of budget constraints.

Hospital linen supplies include scrub wear, patient gowns, thermal blankets, hospital sheets, pediatric gowns, pillow cases, towels, surgical linen, and many other hospital supplies. Clean linen supply and management services are some of the vital elements for hospitals in providing high quality medical care to the patients. Hospital linen supply and management services plays major role in reducing infection rate, increase patient satisfaction and reduce operational costs for hospitals. Efficient supply and management of linen without any defect and delay becomes good support for hospitals to deliver satisfactory healthcare services to the patients. Medical facilities like Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and Operation Theatres (OT) demands more frequent linen supply.
