Petroleum resin is a low polymer thermal plasticizing hydrocarbon resin that has a tackifying effect and finds its wide use in paints, rubber, printing inks, paper sizing agents, and plastic modifiers. It is obtained as byproducts from the cracking of petroleum liquids, gas oil, or naphthas.

Petroleum resins are used as adhesives, coatings, and sealants. They are manufactured through catalytic or thermal polymerization of olefins such as butane and naphtha using Friedel-Crafts catalysts. These resins are highly reactive and exhibit a wide variety of chemical properties that vary from color to softening point to viscosity. They have good adhesion and can withstand high.

The global petroleum resins market was valued at US$ 3149.18 Mn in 2021 in terms of revenue, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.35 % during the forecast period (2022 to 2030).

Petroleum resins is widely used in printing inks as a binder due to its good adhesion properties and high softening point. The types of petroleum resin include aliphatic resins, aromatic resins, and modified resins. The end-use industries for Petroleum resins are categorized as building & construction, tire industry, personal hygiene, and automotive.

Among the major end-use industries, the demand for petroleum resins is high in the building and construction sectors. This is due to the increase in construction spending owing to economic growth and government infrastructure projects in major countries. Furthermore, the use of petroleum resin as a curing compound in concrete for strength improvement has also increased. Moreover, it is also used as an additive in rubber compounding.

Petroleum resin is also used in the manufacturing of paints and coatings, as it offers excellent adhesion, durability, and flexibility. It is used as a diluent in the manufacture of flexographic and gravure printing inks due to its excellent solubility and glossiness. The increased construction activities and the undertaking of infrastructure projects are fueling the demand for petroleum resins.

Petroleum resins serve as a binder and enhance paint gloss, hardness, and acid and alkali resistance. It also offers good adhesion and water resistance. The increase in infrastructure investment for building new highways and focus on repair and maintenance operations is boosting demand for road marking paint containing petroleum resin.

Other uses include leather and footwear applications and hot melt adhesives for pressure-sensitive tapes. Adding petroleum resin to adhesives and rubber compounding enhances the modulus of the rubber, tack, and chipping resistance. Similarly, it increases the adhesion force of pressure-sensitive adhesives and helps in reducing production costs.

Technomelt Supra ECO, a new range of hot melt adhesives was launched by Henkel in May 2021. These adhesives offer higher sustainability, reduced carbon emissions, and greater performance.

Bispecific Antibodies Are Used As Therapeutic Drugs While Treating Viral Infections, Oncology, And Auto-Immune Diseases

Image
  Bispecific Antibodies Bispecific antibodies are produced through cell fusion or recombinant DNA technologies. Bispecific antibodies are much more specific than monoclonal antibodies. Their applications in tumor immunotherapy are nearly limitless. As of today, seven bispecific antibodies have been approved by the FDA and EMA and over one hundred are in preclinical testing. Bispecific antibodies were initially developed using the quadroma technology. They contain two distinct antigen-binding arms, which enable them to bind to the target antigen while also activating an effector cell, which kills tumor cells. The primary antigen on the surface of the effector cell is called CD3, which is a popular target of immune cells. According to Coherent Market insights the Bispecific Antibodies Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028. Many of these multi specific antibody formats have been developed over the past 30 years. These categories ...
