Market Trends of Thermochromic Material Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Thermochromic Material Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Demand for Thermochromic Material as Roof Coat
- Thermochromic materials are generally organic leuco-dye mixtures, composed of color former, color developer, and solvent. The color former is usually a cyclic ester and determines the base color. The color developer is a weak acid and produces the color change and the final color intensity. The solvent (alcohol or ester) melting point affects the color transition temperature.
- Thermochromic material roof coatings are prepared by incorporating a commercial thermochromic dye into a white acrylic elastomer matrix.
- Thermochromic materials can optimize thermal roof performances for different seasons. In summer at higher temperatures they are brighter reducing cooling loads, while in winter at lower temperatures, they are darker, resulting in an increase of the energy absorption, and therefore, in a reduction of the heating loads.
- Owing to the rising global warming and concerns regarding the environment, people are opting for eco-friendly methods of roof coatings.
- Owing to the above-mentioned factors, the application of thermochromic material as a roof coats is likely to dominate during the forecast period.
