Highly Reactive Polyisobutylene (HR-PIB) Market: Key Drivers and Restraints
HR-PIB forms the basis for production of high-performance lubricant additives, which allows for more fuel-efficient engine designs. HR-PIB serves as an important intermediate in the manufacture of high-performance fuel and lubricant additives for engine oils, transmission oils, hydraulic fluids, greases, emulsifiers, adhesives, etc. HR-PIB-based lubricants and fuel additives have the ability to improve the overall performance of vehicles by reducing emissions. Thus, the global HR-PIB market is expected to be driven by the rising demand for high-performance fuel additives in automotive and aviation industries between 2024 and 2030. HR-PIB offers barrier properties, high damping and heat aging, and resistance to ozone, which makes it ideal for control of vibrations in automobiles. HR-PIB is projected to emerge as an effective substitute for the conventional PIB during the forecast period. Both conventional PIB and HR-PIB have similar applications, including adhesives and sealants, lubricants and greases, metalworking, cosmetics, and mining. However, HR-PIB has been increasingly sought after in modern manufacturing practices, owing to its higher effectiveness as compared to conventional PIB. The demand for HR-PIB is rising at a rate higher than polyisobutylene (PIB), due to performance advantages associated with HR-PIB.
