Engineering Resins, Polymer Alloys and Blends
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The objective of this study is to provide a detailed analysis of engineering resins along with polymer alloys/blends. Usage of these resins will be segmented into a wide variety of applications and analyses, and will include some intracompetition of these resins among themselves along with selected commodity thermoplastics and thermosets.
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
Traditional engineering resins and polymer alloys/blends have been “around” for decades and, yet, there are few studies that analyze in detail all of the major materials involved in terms of plant capacities, markets by application, new technologies and products, and rationales for anticipated growth.
There have been a great many changes in terms of producers/suppliers, products, grades, applications, competitive materials, technologies, and the ever-increasing “offshore” scenario. Some of these changes are the result of a great many corporate changes, which have become the “norm” in many industries.
As a result, there is clearly a need for a detailed reappraisal of the market dynamics of the engineering resin and polymer alloy/blend market.
