Market Trends of Nano-Metal Oxides Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Nano-Metal Oxides Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Demand for Silica
- Silica nanoparticles are small porous particles which possess large surface area.
- They own a large number of hydroxyl group and unsaturated residual bonds on its surface and shows high reflectivity to long wave, visible light and ultraviolet ray.
- Silica nanoparticles are used in paints and coatings to improve the degree of finish, increase the scrub and stain resistance, cut short the time of drying, and provide protection from UV rays.
- They are also used in plastics and can significantly improve the toughness, strength, wear and ageing resistance of plastics.
- They have usage in color rubber as an anti-aging agent. They provide toughness, strength, elongation and bending to the color rubber products. Color synthetic rubbers are then used in roofing solutions.
- Besides these, silica nanoparticles are also used widely in plasters, paints, batteries, steel, glass and plexiglas, among others.
- All the factors are likely to increase the demand for the market.
