Silyl Acrylate Polymer (SAP) Market Report

Market Insights

The silyl acrylate polymer market was estimated to grow from USD 2.66 billion in 2021 to USD 4.77 billion by 2028 at a CAGR of over 8.66% during the forecast period.

Market Drivers

The prime factor contributing to the demand for silyl acrylate polymers is the surging shipbuilding industry in Asia-Pacific countries especially China, Japan, and South Korea. Increasing maritime trade and favorable government initiative to offer significant growth opportunities.

What is Silyl Acrylate Polymer (SAP)?

Silyl acrylate polymer is used as antifouling coating which is categorized under self-polishing copolymer. It is produced from acrylic monomers, silyl ester, silanes, and acrylates. Biocides such as cuprous oxide, copper pyrithione, zinc oxide, and zinc pyrithione are also added to prevent building algae, barnacles, slime, and other invasive species. Silyl acrylate polymer protects from erosion and exhibits controlled release of biocides in sea water.
