Market Overview:
Silicones are versatile and unique polymers because addition of different compounds and molecules to the main structure improve or alter the original properties. They are used with chemicals and materials often without generating undesired odor or byproduct. Moreover, they retain their fundamental chemical as well as physical properties when exposed to extreme environment condition and temperature. They are widely utilized in various end-use applications such as automotive & transportation, building & construction, medical & healthcare, industrial process, personal care & consumer products, and others on account of their superior properties such as resistance to UV and IR radiation, strong water repellency, and extremely strong adhesion qualities.
disposable income along with rising consumption of personal care.
