The market demand for release agents continues to be released, and the industry’s environmental protection and diversified development trends are obvious

Release agent, also known as anti-adhesive agent, refers to an auxiliary material that forms a certain peeling force on the surface of certain substrates to achieve a stable force between the substrate and other materials. The release agent is mainly composed of main agent, cross-linking agent, catalyst, inhibitor and other parts. The main agent is the component with the largest proportion in the release agent. Release agent is the most important chemical product for the production of release films and release papers. Its downstream applications involve electronic materials, sanitary products, film substrates, labels, protective films and other fields.

There are many types of release agents. According to different product forms, release agents can be divided into solvent-based, solvent-free and emulsion types. According to different materials, release agents are further divided into silicone-based release agents and fluorine-based release agents. Agents, UV release agents, cellulose release agents, etc. Among them, silicone release agents have the characteristics of high and low temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, non-irritation, and excellent electrical properties. They are currently the most common type of release agents; according to the reaction Depending on the mechanism, release agents can be divided into thermal curing addition type, thermal curing condensation type and light radiation type.

According to the “2021-2026 Release Agent Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report released by the Industrial Research Center, Release agents have a wide range of downstream applications, and their market demand continues to grow. In 2020, the global release agent market size will reach about 1.95 billion yuan. With the development of the release paper and release film industries, the release agent market will further expand. It is expected that the global release agent market will maintain an average annual compound growth rate of 5.2% from 2021 to 2025, reaching 25.1 in 2025. billion.

Globally, the release agent market is mainly concentrated in Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America, among which the Asia-Pacific region is the main consumer market for release agents. The Asia-Pacific region is the main producer of release paper and release film in the world. The demand for release agents in this region is relatively large. It is expected that in the next few years, the growth rate of the release agent market in the Asia-Pacific region will be higher than the global average. Among them, India, Japan , China and other countries are important driving forces for the growth of the release agent market in the Asia-Pacific region.

Currently in the international market, the release agent market is mainly occupied by companies such as Evonik of Germany, Momentive of the United States, Dow Corning, Shin-Etsu of Japan, and Bluestar of China (Elkem Group). The market competition is relatively fierce. In recent years, as environmental protection supervision has become increasingly strict and market demand has upgraded, intelligence, efficiency, environmental protection, and safety have become the key research directions of release agent companies. Driven by technological empowerment and corporate assistance, the release agent industry has gradually moved towards environmental protection. upgrade in the direction of modernization and high-endization.

Industry analysts said that in recent years, as research continues to deepen, more and more release agents have entered the market. The types of pharmaceuticals are gradually enriched, and the development trends of industry diversification, safety, high-end and environmental protection are emerging. Release agents are important chemical products for the production of release films and release papers. With the development of downstream markets, the market demand for release agents will be further released, and the industry will have broad room for development in the future.
