Anti-Sagging Agents Market Forecast, Trend Analysis & Competition Tracking - Global Market Insights 2018 to 2028

Market Introduction

Anti-sagging agent is a substance that is added to the coating or the surface in order to prevent the coat from weakening due to gravity. Anti-sagging agents are used in applications which use dense coating paints as they are more affected by gravity. Anti-sagging agents help in increasing the lifespan of a coating by preventing it from falling away from the corrosion prone surface. The molecules of anti-sagging agents interact with themselves as well as with the components of coats and hence anti-sagging agents prevent the coatings from falling away.  Anti-sagging agents possess thixotropic nature and have high viscosity stability. The anti-sagging agents act as emulsifiers in oil paints, putty, distempers and universal strainers. Anti-sagging agents are also miscible in water in any proportion. Anti-sagging agents are used in solvent-less and low polarity paints and sealants to provide sagging.  Anti-sagging agents have a wide application range in various end use industries. Anti-sagging agents are used in the plastic industry to improve the thixotropy in applications of PVC plastisol. Anti-sagging agents are used in reactive and filled resin casting systems such as polyurethane, epoxy and acrylate resins. The use of anti-sagging agents in these resins helps in improving anti-sagging properties with no impairing levelling.

Market Dynamics

High temperature and pH stability of anti-sagging agents is expected to help in the anti-sagging agents’ market growth in near future. Growth of paints and coatings industry is expected to drive the market for anti-sagging agents market. Low cost of anti-sagging agents is expected to boost the sales of anti-sagging agents in various end-use industries. Use of anti-sagging agents in the soaps, detergents and cleaning products is expected to increase the demand for anti-sagging agents in the personal and homecare industry. Polyurethane based anti-sagging agents have been developed in recent years are expected to drive the sales of anti-sagging agents in the plastic industry. Introduction of alternatives such as flatting agents is expected to hamper the market growth of the anti-sagging agents. Long shelf life of anti-sagging agents consequently hampers the new sale of anti-sagging agents, which is expected to dent the growth of the global market to some extent.
