Global Metallocene Technologies Market Segments Forecasts up to 2023 | Page 3

A. Polymers made from the metallocene catalysts have much higher molecular weight than the polymers made from the Ziegler-Natta technology. Metallocene-based polymers are known to have features such as increased toughness and impact strength, better melt properties, and improved clarity in films. Research Report: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/metallocene-technologies.html Metallocene catalysts are known to have the capability of independently controlling polymer characteristics such as molecular weight and its distribution, comonomer content and its distribution, and tacticity. As the catalysts can lead to the development of polymers with well characterized molecular structures, extremely uniform physical properties can be granted to the polymer. Metallocene technologies have helped in the production of extremely tough polymers, which are used across applications such as bulletproof glasses and bulletproof vests. Q. What are the key application areas of metallocene technologies? A. Some of the earliest applications of metallocene technologies were in specialty markets where value-added and high cost polymers could compete. However, as the technologies developed with time and the costs of metallocene catalysts decreased, metallocene-based polymers started competing in the broader market for plastics. Presently, metallocene-based polymers find applications in a numb er of industries, including packaging, medicines, cables, agriculture, and safety products. Of these, the flexible non-food packaging is the largest application area, accounting for over 35% of the overall global metallocene demand. The segment of shrink/stretch film accounts for the second largest application segment, garnering over 27% of the total global demand for metallocene resins in 2014.
