An antiozonant also known as antiozonant, is an organic compound that prevents or retards damage caused by ozone. The most important antiozonants are those which prevent degradation of elastomers like rubber.
Elastomers like rubber, including related material like butyl rubber and EPDM rubber are prone to ozone cracking. Antiozonants are used to prevent or delay that. In particular they are additives in tires manufacturing
Antiozonants have the ability to avert or reverse oxidation caused due to ozone.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
The market was negatively impacted by COVID-19 in 2020. Owing to the pandemic scenario, several countries went into lockdown, to curb the spreading of the virus. This completely disrupted the supply and chain, thus negatively affected the market's growth. Also, the production of dyes and pigments, rubber, etc. has been declined in 2020 due to the shutdown of manufacturing plants. However, the condition is expected to recover in 2021, which will restore the growth trajectory of the market forecast studied during the period. Slowing demand growth, growing surplus, and a shrinking value pool were already present before the pandemic and have only become more pronounced. In addition, the industry faces structural disruption from the tran¬sition to renewable energy resources and a regenerative, or circular, economy. The impact of the coronavirus on petrochemical demand was irregular across value chains, with automotive and construction applications seeing particularly steep declines, and packaging demand (especially in food, sanitary products, and medical applica¬tions) remaining robust.
Top Impacting Factors
Antiozonants have the capacity to forestall or withdraw oxidation caused due to ozone. Ozone responds to rubber and degenerates’ rubber or other forms of elastomers. Antiozonants behave as additives that protect elastomers from wear out caused due to exposure to atmospheric ozone. Elastomeric materials tend to become breakable and develop cracks with consonant exposure to ozone. Antiozonants are expected to witness notable demand in the near future, due to their potential to overcome destruction caused by ozone. Antiozonants are only on the surface of the rubber for its protection from ozone cracking, as ozone attacks mainly transpire at the facet of the rubber
Market Trends
- The prevailing issue of ozone crackling in sidewalls of automobile tires can be prevented by adding antiozonants to the rubber before vulcanization.
- Rubber is used to produce various products like tires, mats, belts, hoses and gloves.
- Demand for tires has increased resistance to ozone heat and mechanical stress is likely to drive the demand for antiozonant market.
- Ozone gas can occur naturally or it can generate during electric discharge caused by sparking or corona discharge.
- Increase in the demand for ozone resistant rubbers which have been pre-treated to inhibit ozone cracking, is anticipated to augment the global antiozonant market during the forecast period.
