A
new research report by Transparency Market Research offers a
comprehensive evaluation of the global Automotive
Sealants Market.
The study, titled “Automotive
Sealants Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth,
Trends and Forecast, 2014 - 2020”,
is available for sale on the firm’s website.
A
sealant is a viscous material which penetrates by capillary action
into a substrate where it is applied and provides a barrier to air,
dust, liquids and others, from passing from one substrate to another.
Sealants are corrosion resistant, insoluble in most media and have
adhesion. The adhesion of sealants is slightly lower compared to
adhesives. Sealants lie between high strength adhesives and low
strength caulks and putties. However, they have higher elongation
compared to adhesives. There are numerous types of sealants which are
used across various industries such as building & construction,
automobiles, rubber industry and marine applications among others.

A
sealant fills gaps and voids, forms a physical barrier through
adhesion and maintains sealing properties between two substrates. The
growing automotive market is a key driver for the growth of sealants
market. Sealants find numerous uses inside an automobile- they are
used to fix the acoustic insulation parts in car doors, insulation
matting, cladding of door panels, fixing the car upholstery and have
several other uses in automobiles. They are used in places requiring
moderate adhesion but high elongation. Sealants are formulated with
elastomers which give them the required flexibility; they are also
used to enhance the dielectric strength. However release of volatile
organic compounds (VOC) and hazardous air pollutant emissions from
automotive assembly is a major environmental concern surrounding
sealants. The usage of water based sealants is expected to open new
areas of opportunity for the market of automotive sealants in the
coming years.
The
market of sealants in the U.S and U.K is growing at a slow pace owing
to the economic downturn and slow recovery from it. The market of
sealants is growing exponentially in China and the Indian
subcontinent due to the growing automobile manufacturing market in
these countries.
Brazil
is expected to be the new and upcoming automobile manufacturing hub.
There is tremendous growth potential of sealants in Brazil in the
coming years. The growth of the market is also attributable to
technological advances such as additives which add special properties
to sealants.
Polyurethane,
butyl sealants and silicones are the common types of sealants used in
automobile industry. Polyurethane sealants provide strong bonding and
excellent stress recovery to retain shape after being pulled or bent.
They offer fast curing rates and adherence to non primed surfaces.
They aid in maintaining the aesthetics of the automobile by allowing
the application of paints and coatings. The polyurethane sealants
protect the surfaces against impacts, shocks, abrasion and aging.
Many additives are combined with sealants to add special properties
such as flame retardant and insulation properties, for instance,
Henkel produces sealants with special properties for different uses.
Its Loctite brand provides high performance protection to chassis,
automotive powertrain, interior and exteriors. Its Teroson brand
includes PVC and non - PVC plastisols which are corrosion resistant
and protect against element intrusion. Its other brands can be used
on pre - painted or oily metal surfaces.
