The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing demand from end-user industries for wide range applications and rising usage in sealing processes.
Fluoroelastomer is a fluorocarbon-based synthetic rubber, also known as fluorocarbon compound. The fluoroelastomers are used in a wide variety of high performance applications in aerospace and automotive industries.
The fluoroelastomers are considered to be a vital polymer owing to its long term reliability and minimum change to the environmental conditions. Therefore, the fluoroelastomers are specifically designed to be highly resistant to elevated temperatures and aggressive chemical changes. Fluoroelastomers have great compression, sunlight & ozone resistance.
The fluoroelastomers have wide range of applications due to its low gas absorption rate. The performance of fluoroelastomers in aggressive chemicals depends on the compounding ingredients and nature of the base polymer. The performance can vary significantly due to varying quantity and quality of rubber used in the polymer. Fluoroelastomers are highly compatible with hydrocarbons, but incompatible with ketones. In automotive industry the fluoroelastomers are widely used to reduce emissions, increase fuel efficiency, eliminate fluid leaks, and improve the efficiency of their systems.
The fluoroelastomers are used in chemical plants for sealing materials with above average fluid resistance and long-term operability. The oil & gas industries utilize the fluoroelastomers for manufacturing equipment used in drilling processes. The fluoroelastomers are also used in production of consumer goods and wearables that are soft, flexible, non-reactive. In aerospace industry the fluoroelastomers are use for applications associated with high operating temperatures and high altitudes that require superior heat resistance and low-temperature performance.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a dramatic impact on the dynamics of various industries including automotive and aerospace industry. The outbreak had negatively affected the growth and expansion of the fluoroelastomers market. The pandemic situation had witnessed the stringent regulations and worldwide lockdowns.
The pandemic situation resulted into the consequent disruption in supply-chain, production, transportation, and research & development activities. Therefore, automotive and aerospace industries struggled with the generation of revenues. Several manufacturing companies were temporarily shut down. The aircraft manufacturers reduced the production rates, which further affected the OEMs that use fluoroelastomers as raw material.
