Market Dynamics
Introduction
Polyphenylene is basically a macromolecule with thermo-oxidative and thermal stabilities. They are known to have a good resistance against heat when decomposition starts at a temperature above 400 degrees Celsius, the polymer becomes insoluble, infusible, and brittle.
Polyphenylene has a crystalline nature and can be modified into a transparent and amorphous polymer at a higher temperature. The use of the substance is often found in different industries such as coatings, automotive, electric, and many more in the manufacturing and processing of items such as engineering plastics, high-performance lubricants, composites, and many others.
Market Drivers
The increasing use of polyphenylene resins in the aerospace and automobile industries, along with their application in filter bag manufacturing, drives the market globally.
