Summary

Product Overview
Rubber processing chemicals are specialty chemicals that are used for enhancing the physical properties of natural and synthetic rubber products. It is done to make it fit for the tire as well as non-tire applications. Rubber processing chemicals help in improving the resistance of rubber to heat, sunlight, oxidation, ozone, and mechanical stresses. Common chemicals used in the processing of rubber include accelerator, vulcanizing agents, stabilizers, and antidegradant. These chemicals improve several properties of rubber-based products such as hardness, resilience, heat and abrasion resistance, and tensile strength to make them commercially useful. Rubber processing chemicals find application in the manufacturing of linings and coatings, tires, gaskets, seals, conveyor belts, and hoses.

Global Rubber Processing Chemicals Market: Segments
Accelerator segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2021-30
Global Rubber Processing Chemicals market is segmented by Product Type into antidegradants, accelerator, processing aid, flame retardants, blowing agents, anti-scorch agents, and others. Accelerator, based segment held the largest market share in the year 2020. Accelerators are the chemical agents used to speed up the vulcanization process. In vulcanization, accelerators are widely used in combination with sulfur, zinc oxide, and stearic acid. primary and secondary are the two types of accelerators. Primary accelerators mainly find application in tire manufacturing while secondary accelerators are used to increase the speed and state of cure in the vulcanization.

Tire Segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2021-30
Global Rubber Processing Chemicals market is distributed by application into Tire and Non- Tire. Tire Segment held the largest market share in the year 2020. Tire rubber consumption includes the rubber utilized in all motor vehicle type tires, bicycle tires, and off-road vehicle tires, as well as retreads and inner tubes. The rising automobile industry is anticipated to augment the growth of the tire segment which in turn, boosts the global rubber processing chemicals market.
