Consequently, there was an immense pushback from the U.S. fluoropolymers industry due to fears of disproportionately adverse impact of the move. Industry experts argued that the raising of tariff could force companies to move their business to other countries like Canada or Mexico to escape such tariff and therefore may have a broader impact on the American economy as workers will lose jobs and risk the trade surplus that the fluoropolymer industry has with China.

Such pressure from the industry experts and participants clearly underlines the prospects for the growth of fluoropolymer additives market, mainly due to the extensive application of the product and the far-reaching implications the shortage of supply of such a product can cause. Fluoropolymers have been used in various forms in numerous industrial and commercial applications ranging from consumer electronics to cookware and from industrial coatings to pharmaceutical processing equipment.

Usage of different forms of fluoropolymers such as Polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE has been extended beyond industrial application and are being applied to the designing of innovative products. For instance, ePTFE, a strong, porous, adjustable membrane that is obtained by expanding PTFE can be used in the manufacturing of fabrics that can be used in clothes and athletics shoes. The material contains pores that are big enough to let water vapor molecules escape but not big enough to permit water molecules to pass through. Thus the material, trademarked as Gore-Tex, is used as an intermediate layer in athletic shoes and even to design fashionable raincoats that are breathable, lightweight and almost indestructible.

PTFE is possibly one of the most widely used fluoropolymers and is expected to act as one of the major driving forces in the growth of the fluoropolymer additives market due to its application in automotive, construction, semiconductor and consumer electronics. It is a potent coating material that is being increasingly deployed in architectural coatings. For instance, fluoropolymer coatings have recently come to be used for cool roofing. The very low surface energy of fluoropolymer coatings has proved to be excellent for dirt pickup resistance, a crucial factor for solar reflectance. Fluoropolymer coatings also withstand prolonged exposure to water, temperature extremes, humidity, oxygen, ultraviolet rays and atmospheric pollutants. Consequently, fluorinated cool-roof coatings are a weather-resistant choice when it comes to extended lifetime performance.

Fluoropolymer additives industry participants have also expressed increasing interest in the use of energy-efficient coatings on walls. It should be mentioned that fluoropolymer coating has been accredited by the American Architectural Manufacturers Association to have the highest standard for metal substrate architectural coatings. Due to this, R&D efforts by fluoropolymer coating manufacturers have become evident as they race to develop new fluoropolymer coating application scopes for fluoropolymer additives industry.

Fluoropolymer resins have low surface energy which makes them ideal for the formulation of anti-graffiti coatings. For instance, PPG Industries formulated an anti-graffiti coating that is specially designed to work with the chemistry of the company’s graffiti remover. The anti-graffiti coating is applied to walls, window panels or roofing of high-end buildings and marks made with water-based house paints, aerosol paints, permanent marker or scuff marks can be easily removed from surfaces where the coating is used.

Fluoropolymer coatings like Teflon® or Xylan® are almost household names and due to their corrosion resistance, dry lubrication and non-stick properties have become the coatings of choice in various industries. With pervasive application of fluoropolymer, the fluoropolymer additives market is expected to amass a revenue of 1.9 billion by 2025.

Speaking of which, phthalates are a group of synthetic chemicals that are extensively used in several consumer products that include medical devices, building materials, packaging and children’s toys and childcare products made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Lately, the chemical has been identified as a developmental and reproductive toxicant. Moreover, the US EPA classified DEHP and BBP as possible human carcinogens respectively. Epoxidized soya bean oil serves as the perfect alternative against phthalates in order to build plasticizers and heat stabilizers, thereby propelling ESBO market size.

The rapid emergence of biocompatible lubricants due to stringent regulations applicable to mineral-oil-based lubricants and their non-biodegradable toxic wastes may also impact the epoxidized soybean market positively. Before hitting the market, vegetable lubricants made from vegetable oil are required to overcome some poor performance characteristics like thermal and oxidative instabilities. This helps demonstrate the improved performance of epoxidized soybean oil in certain high-temperature lubricant applications.

The problems associated with vegetable oils like poor oxidization and low-temperature properties can be enhanced by attributing functional groups at the sites of unsaturation occurred due to chemical modifications. In several countries, about 40 percent of a lubricant can be lost to the environment and with rising petrol prices, development of new industrial products from soybean seem economically feasible. Although soybean oil shows superior lubricity, vegetable-oil-based lubricants possess a weaker oxidative stability and flow under low temperatures but by attaching some functional groups at the site of unsaturation these problems can be resolved. The fact that vegetable-oil properties can be improved for lubrication through functionalization methods will drive the epoxidized soybean oil market in the years to come, as they are deployed as industrial lubricants.

The epoxidized soybean oil market may witness significant growth in Europe, driven by highly developed countries such as France and Germany, that boast of an expanding regional food and beverage industry. Incidentally, in 2017 the Committee for Social-Economic Analysis backed a proposal by the European Chemicals Agency and Denmark to limit the use of four phthalates namely BBP, DEHP, DBP and DIBP in articles comprising plasticized materials. In 2018, The European Environmental Bureau and CHEM Trust sent a letter to EU Member State representatives on the REACH Committee bringing to attention that the restriction excludes the use of phthalates in food contact materials even though maximum exposure to DEHP comes from food.

The restriction of phthalates from FCMs is likely to encourage the use of epoxidized soybean oils for creating gaskets of glass jars and on food and beverage can coatings, that would eventually augment the epoxidized soybean oil market.

The transesterification of epoxidized soybean oil often helps in preparing epoxidized methyl esters Transesterification is achieved within 10 minutes at 50 degree Celsius without losing epoxide function. Epoxidized methyl esters characterize a renewable substrate that is readily turned into fuels, surfactants, additives and other industrial products. Therefore, the transesterification process can increase the availability of epoxidized methyl esters and endorse the development of new bio-based products, impelling the growth of epoxidized soybean oil industry.

The epoxidized soybean oil market is indeed slated to record commendable gains attributed to the product usage as a raw material for various applications including polyol replacements, functional fluids, fuel additives, and agricultural and pharmaceutical molecules. Owing to its high molecular weight, the product can resist volatilization, extraction, and migration and act as a polymeric plasticizer. Driven by its widespread demand credited to its highly beneficial characteristics, the global epoxidized soybean market is anticipated to exceed $650 million by the year 2024.
