Anti-tacking agents are chemical compounds that are used in the rubber industry to eradicate the self-adhesive property of uncured rubber during its storage. Anti-tacking agents are applied on the surface of the uncured rubbers to release or separate it after storage, which eases the handling and transportation of uncured rubber. Space and logistics limitations in the rubber industry allow for the necessity of anti-tacking agents, as if rubber could be mixed, milled, and then cured without ever coming in contact with itself, anti-tacking agents would not be necessary.
Some of the commonly available anti-tacking agents in the market are stearates, fatty acid esters, fatty acid amides, soap, and silicone polymers. Besides these, fillers such as talc, mica, clay, and calcium carbonate are also used as dusting agents to prevent the rubber from sticking. These fillers are used extensively as neat materials and components of anti-tack formulas. According to MRFR analysis, stearates are dominating the global anti-tacking agents market due to their easy handling and efficient results.
Increasing automotive production and sales across the globe have resulted in the increased demand for durable tires, which is likely to boost the rubber market and thus fuel the growth of the global anti-tacking agents market. The growing middle-class population and the increase in income levels and standard of living have resulted in the increasing need for consumer durables viz. gloves, molded rubber goods, footwear, latex products, which, in turn, is expected to boost the rubber industry and thus propel the growth of the product market. Increasing construction activities in developed and developing countries are also driving the growth of the product market. Furthermore, rapid industrialization and urbanization in Asia-Pacific are expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities for players operating in the anti-tacking agents market during the forecast period.
However, the volatile prices of raw materials due to fluctuating crude oil prices is a factor that could restrict the market growth. Moreover, stringent environmental regulations and rising health concerns associated with the usage of stearates may restrain the growth of the global anti-tacking agents market.
