This is a “hot” subject because of the tremendous changes in the market. These have arisen from the increased use of disposable gloves in the medical industry and the search for elastomers which do not promote allergic reactions. Also, latex products are being used extensively as alternatives to solvent-based systems such as adhesives, sealants, and coatings, because of global legislation concerning the use of volatile and flammable solvents. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe range of applications of latex is extensive. Polymer latices are used in paints and coatings, textiles, non-wovens, packaging, construction (mainly in adhesives and binders), furniture, packaging, paper (e.g., coatings), medical equipment, personal protective equipment, carpet backing, adhesives, polish, belts, seals, etc. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe global annual consumption of natural rubber latex is running at just over 7 million tons. Natural rubber latex is particularly widely used in medical gloves, thread and condom applications. Gloves are by far the largest market sector, consuming around 60% by weight. The market is being driven by the advent of AIDS and other pandemic diseases, and the need to protect healthcare workers from infection. Production quality must be high to eliminate pinholes and provide an adequate barrier. This is a very competitive market and much of the production industry has been moved to Asia to reduce costs. This, in turn, has to lead to new standards being introduced, such as the Standard Malaysian Gloves (SMG). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNatural rubber latex is discussed in depth in this report from cultivation practices to manufacturing methods and new developments. Allergic reactions have been reported to residual proteins in latex. The nature, incidence and potential market impact of this are discussed. Attempts are being made to replace natural rubber with synthetics, but currently, this is not generally cost effective. The key properties of natural latex are described in the report. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA wide range of synthetic latices is available including styrene-butadiene copolymers (SBR), acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymers, polychloroprene, acrylic polymers, vinyl acetate polymers, vinyl acetate-ethylene polymers, vinyl chloride polymers and copolymers, polybutadiene and polyisoprene. SBR is the most commonly used synthetic latex – around 2.4 million tons are consumed globally each year. This report describes production methods, applications, and markets. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe worldwide structure of the latex industry is outlined here. The natural rubber industry in Asian countries, North America and Europe are described. Asia is the key area for production. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe latex market is spread across the globe, making it less sensitive to regional fluctuations and economic cycles. Application areas are growing with the requirements for medical gloves and condoms, and the use of latices as substitutes for solvent-based systems. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Rapra Natural and Synthetic Latex Polymers Market Report provide an excellent, clear overview of the whole of the latex industry from production and manufacturing methods to market applications, new technology and

This is a “hot” subject because of the tremendous changes in the market. These have arisen from the increased use of disposable gloves in the medical industry and the search for elastomers which do not promote allergic reactions. Also, latex products are being used extensively as alternatives to solvent-based systems such as adhesives, sealants, and coatings, because of global legislation concerning the use of volatile and flammable solvents. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe range of applications of latex is extensive. Polymer latices are used in paints and coatings, textiles, non-wovens, packaging, construction (mainly in adhesives and binders), furniture, packaging, paper (e.g., coatings), medical equipment, personal protective equipment, carpet backing, adhesives, polish, belts, seals, etc. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe global annual consumption of natural rubber latex is running at just over 7 million tons. Natural rubber latex is particularly widely used in medical gloves, thread and condom applications. Gloves are by far the largest market sector, consuming around 60% by weight. The market is being driven by the advent of AIDS and other pandemic diseases, and the need to protect healthcare workers from infection. Production quality must be high to eliminate pinholes and provide an adequate barrier. This is a very competitive market and much of the production industry has been moved to Asia to reduce costs. This, in turn, has to lead to new standards being introduced, such as the Standard Malaysian Gloves (SMG). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNatural rubber latex is discussed in depth in this report from cultivation practices to manufacturing methods and new developments. Allergic reactions have been reported to residual proteins in latex. The nature, incidence and potential market impact of this are discussed. Attempts are being made to replace natural rubber with synthetics, but currently, this is not generally cost effective. The key properties of natural latex are described in the report. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA wide range of synthetic latices is available including styrene-butadiene copolymers (SBR), acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymers, polychloroprene, acrylic polymers, vinyl acetate polymers, vinyl acetate-ethylene polymers, vinyl chloride polymers and copolymers, polybutadiene and polyisoprene. SBR is the most commonly used synthetic latex – around 2.4 million tons are consumed globally each year. This report describes production methods, applications, and markets. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe worldwide structure of the latex industry is outlined here. The natural rubber industry in Asian countries, North America and Europe are described. Asia is the key area for production. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe latex market is spread across the globe, making it less sensitive to regional fluctuations and economic cycles. Application areas are growing with the requirements for medical gloves and condoms, and the use of latices as substitutes for solvent-based systems. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Rapra Natural and Synthetic Latex Polymers Market Report provide an excellent, clear overview of the whole of the latex industry from production and manufacturing methods to market applications, new technology and potential for growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e1.1 The World of Latex\u003cbr\u003e1.2 Scope of the

Several thousand copies of this book are used worldwide. R. Lambourne, the Editor of the first edition assembled the team of leading specialists in different fields of this multidisciplinary subject. They had the knowledge and experience to write with authority. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe paints and coatings technology is composed of very diverse scientific subjects too difficult for one author to master. For example, color measurement and paint rheology require very different expertise. Early in the process, it was decided that the highest quality book can be obtained if experts in different fields will be given tasks to write about the subject they have practiced for many years. On the other hand, the multi-authored books usually suffer from the lack of coordination. To address this matter, authors and editor working for one company were selected to make team effort possible. The aim was to fill the existing gap in the scientific literature which is lacking a modern textbook\/monograph on paints and coatings. The changes in chemical and paint industries in the last 12 years made sections of the book ready for a thorough revision, thus this second edition become necessary. The former Editor is joined in this task by T. A. Strivens and several new authors. The previous chapters were updated and two additional chapters are written to create the book to serve the industry in the first part of the 21st century. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is not only this multidisciplinary treatment which makes this book so special that it can serve as the only needed source of information but the key to its success and usefulness is in the subtitle theory and practice which makes this book so indispensable. The authors of chapters employed by the large paint and coatings producer had to their disposal unique resources which resulted in this important combination of practical knowledge on how to design these products based on theoretical findings and analysis of field results. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first part of the book, composed of five chapters, deals with the chemistry of paint manufacture. Here, polymers, pigments, solvents, and additives are discussed. These chapters are also designed to provide the reader with suggestions regarding the use of these raw materials in different types of paints. The next three chapters discuss the physical chemistry of dispersion, particle size measurement and the processes of paint making. The presence of these chapters, in the beginning, makes further discussion of different coatings easier to understand. Paints and coatings available in the market are grouped and discussed in five chapters devoted to coatings for buildings, automotive paints, automotive refinish paints, general industrial paints, and coatings for marine applications. Each type of paint is evaluated from the point of view of requirements, composition, substrates, the effect of application conditions on performance, the effect of metal corrosion on performance and its removal from substrates, methods of application, and future trends. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe next five chapters are devoted to the characteristics of coatings performance such as rheology, mechanical properties, appearance, and durability. Here, in addition to the background of these studies, the reference is made to the composition and paint performance in the field. The book is concluded with two new chapters on the application of computers and modelling in the paint industry and health and safety recommendations. These chapters refer to the most recent changes in the approaches taken to design a paint and required performance characteristics in environment cautious of pollution (these elements of thought are also included in the chapters on individual paints). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis combination of topics makes the usefulness of the book going beyond the paint manufacturer. All industries using paints and coatings will find this book a must to have because it helps to avoid many costly mistakes and enhances results of coating all because of its completeness, competence of authors, numerous examples and data, and the clear explanation of this complex subject which can be done if one has the benefit of these authors experience.

Several thousand copies of this book are used worldwide. R. Lambourne, the Editor of the first edition assembled the team of leading specialists in different fields of this multidisciplinary subject. They had the knowledge and experience to write with authority. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe paints and coatings technology is composed of very diverse scientific subjects too difficult for one author to master. For example, color measurement and paint rheology require very different expertise. Early in the process, it was decided that the highest quality book can be obtained if experts in different fields will be given tasks to write about the subject they have practiced for many years. On the other hand, the multi-authored books usually suffer from the lack of coordination. To address this matter, authors and editor working for one company were selected to make team effort possible. The aim was to fill the existing gap in the scientific literature which is lacking a modern textbook\/monograph on paints and coatings. The changes in chemical and paint industries in the last 12 years made sections of the book ready for a thorough revision, thus this second edition become necessary. The former Editor is joined in this task by T. A. Strivens and several new authors. The previous chapters were updated and two additional chapters are written to create the book to serve the industry in the first part of the 21st century. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is not only this multidisciplinary treatment which makes this book so special that it can serve as the only needed source of information but the key to its success and usefulness is in the subtitle theory and practice which makes this book so indispensable. The authors of chapters employed by the large paint and coatings producer had to their disposal unique resources which resulted in this important combination of practical knowledge on how to design these products based on theoretical findings and analysis of field results. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first part of the book, composed of five chapters, deals with the chemistry of paint manufacture. Here, polymers, pigments, solvents, and additives are discussed. These chapters are also designed to provide the reader with suggestions regarding the use of these raw materials in different types of paints. The next three chapters discuss the physical chemistry of dispersion, particle size measurement and the processes of paint making. The presence of these chapters, in the beginning, makes further discussion of different coatings easier to understand. Paints and coatings available in the market are grouped and discussed in five chapters devoted to coatings for buildings, automotive paints, automotive refinish paints, general industrial paints, and coatings for marine applications. Each type of paint is evaluated from the point of view of requirements, composition, substrates, the effect of application conditions on performance, the effect of metal corrosion on performance and its removal from substrates, methods of application, and future trends. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe next five chapters are devoted to the characteristics of coatings performance such as rheology, mechanical properties, appearance, and durability. Here, in addition to the background of these studies, the reference is made to the composition and paint performance in the field. The book is concluded with two new chapters on the application of computers and modelling in the paint industry and health and safety recommendations. These chapters refer to the most recent changes in the approaches taken to design a paint and required performance characteristics in environment cautious of pollution (these elements of thought are also included in the chapters on individual paints). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis combination of topics makes the usefulness of the book going beyond the paint manufacturer. All industries using paints and coatings will find this book a must to have because it helps to avoid many costly mistakes and enhances results of coating all because of its completeness, competence of authors, numerous examples and data, and the clear explanation of this complex subject which can be done if one has the benefit of these authors experience. This results in a scientific monograph, textbook and practical guide in one volume for novice and expert.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\np\u0026gt;Paint Composition and Applications\u003cbr\u003eOrganic Film Formers\u003cbr\u003ePigments for Paints\u003cbr\u003eSolvents and Thinners\u003cbr\u003eAdditives for Paint\u003cbr\u003ePhysical Chemistry of Dispersions\u003cbr\u003eParticle Size and Size Measurement\u003cbr\u003eThe Industrial Paint Making Process\u003cbr\u003eCoatings for Buildings\u003cbr\u003eAutomotive Paints\u003cbr\u003eAutomotive Refinish Paints\u003cbr\u003eGeneral Industrial Paints and Processes\u003cbr\u003ePainting of Ships\u003cbr\u003eRheology of Paints\u003cbr\u003eMechanical Properties of Paints and Coatings\u003cbr\u003eAppearance Qualities of Paint\u003cbr\u003eSpecification and Control of Appearance\u003cbr\u003eDurability Testing\u003cbr\u003eComputers and Modeling in Paint and Resin Formulating\u003cbr\u003eHealth and Safety in the Coatings Industry"}

Films comprise around 25% of all plastics used worldwide, around 40 million tons, and are thus a massive market sector. Commodity plastics dominate, with polyethylene and polypropylene together accounting for around 34 million tons. This is an expanding area with increased demand each year particularly in the developing regions of the world and with a move from rigid to flexible packaging. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are many material types used in films from single layer polymers to multilayer structures with tie layers and copolymers. Multilayers permit custom adaptation of material properties from barrier to strength. Technology, such as the orientation of polypropylene, has produced better properties and more valuable materials. High performance plastics are also being used in applications such as telectronics. The different materials in use in films are reviewed in this market report. There are details of the main suppliers including mergers and capacity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilms can be made via a number of converting processes: extrusion, coextrusion, casting, extrusion coating, extrusion laminating and metallising. Blown extrusion was the first process used to make films of polyethylene. These processes have advantages and disadvantages depending on the material type in use, the width and thickness of film required. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilms are mainly used in packaging for foodstuffs, but there are also substantial market segments for medical, electronic, automotive and construction applications. Specific applications include decorative wrap, form-fill-seal, blood bags, flexible printed circuits, bed sheeting, diapers, and in-mould decorating of car parts (to replace painting and provide a more durable surface coating). Carrier bags and garbage bags are big markets, with imports to Europe; there are environmental concerns about the use of plastic bags and these are discussed in the report. In construction, films are used in glazing, damp proofing, tarpaulins, geomembranes and similar applications. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePE and PP are the main materials used in packaging films. PET is primarily used in magnetics, optics, and telectronics. PVC is found in consumer goods and medical applications, while PVB is mainly used in automotive and construction applications as glazing protection. Multimaterial films account for around 7 million tons of the films produced, with around 95% of this going into packaging applications. These are just some of the examples listed in this market report. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEurope and North America each account for about 30% of the total world consumption of plastic films. The plastic films supply structure and individual company information are summarised in the second half of this market report on Plastic Films in Europe and the Rest of the

Films comprise around 25% of all plastics used worldwide, around 40 million tons, and are thus a massive market sector. Commodity plastics dominate, with polyethylene and polypropylene together accounting for around 34 million tons. This is an expanding area with increased demand each year particularly in the developing regions of the world and with a move from rigid to flexible packaging. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are many material types used in films from single layer polymers to multilayer structures with tie layers and copolymers. Multilayers permit custom adaptation of material properties from barrier to strength. Technology, such as the orientation of polypropylene, has produced better properties and more valuable materials. High performance plastics are also being used in applications such as telectronics. The different materials in use in films are reviewed in this market report. There are details of the main suppliers including mergers and capacity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilms can be made via a number of converting processes: extrusion, coextrusion, casting, extrusion coating, extrusion laminating and metallising. Blown extrusion was the first process used to make films of polyethylene. These processes have advantages and disadvantages depending on the material type in use, the width and thickness of film required. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilms are mainly used in packaging for foodstuffs, but there are also substantial market segments for medical, electronic, automotive and construction applications. Specific applications include decorative wrap, form-fill-seal, blood bags, flexible printed circuits, bed sheeting, diapers, and in-mould decorating of car parts (to replace painting and provide a more durable surface coating). Carrier bags and garbage bags are big markets, with imports to Europe; there are environmental concerns about the use of plastic bags and these are discussed in the report. In construction, films are used in glazing, damp proofing, tarpaulins, geomembranes and similar applications. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePE and PP are the main materials used in packaging films. PET is primarily used in magnetics, optics, and telectronics. PVC is found in consumer goods and medical applications, while PVB is mainly used in automotive and construction applications as glazing protection. Multimaterial films account for around 7 million tons of the films produced, with around 95% of this going into packaging applications. These are just some of the examples listed in this market report. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEurope and North America each account for about 30% of the total world consumption of plastic films. The plastic films supply structure and individual company information are summarised in the second half of this market report on Plastic Films in Europe and the Rest of the
