Polymer Fillers Market: Outlook

Fillers are used in a polymer formulation for reducing costs along with enhancing its properties. Polymer fillers are available in solid, liquid or gaseous form. These products can replace expensive resin with low expensive compounds without modification of other features. Fillers are particulate substance that includes minerals, diatomaceous earths, and talc. Additionally, fibrous reinforcements including glass and carbon fibers are added to polymers for enhancing toughness of polymers. Both kinds of materials tend to improve polymer viscosity, particularly at reduced shear rates, thereby leading to yield stress formation. At high shear rates, the effect is less pronounced as the viscosity approaches that of the neat resin. Low cost as well as easy availability of carbon black has resulted into extensive usage of polymer filler across various sectors. Reportedly, polymer fillers are finely grind inorganic substances such as clay, chalk, and silica.

Fillers are defined as particulate materials that are added to a polymer in order to improve the physical properties. Fillers are also used in the polymer to lower the compound cost or to improve the mechanical properties. Fillers added properties such as mechanical strength, damping, toughness and increases thermal & dielectric capacities of the polymers. Fillers are available in solid, liquid and gas. Solid fillers have good demand in the market. Fillers are classified as inert and reinforcing fillers. Inert fillers increased the hardness and stiffness of plastic/polymers. Reinforcement fillers are used to improve the heat resistance of a polymer.

Polymer fillers have two types, one is organic fillers and another is inorganic fillers. Organic fillers include natural fiber and carbon filler. Inorganic fillers include oxide filler, silicate filler, hydro-oxide, salts filler, metal filler and other fillers. Inorganic fillers are derived from mines. Raw material availability for inorganic filler is directly depending on the mining industry. Inorganic fillers were the largest type segment, accounting for more than 76.86% share of the global polymer fillers market in 2015. However, organic fillers are expected to grow with CAGR 5.1% during next five years. Increasing demand for organic fillers on account of its eco-friendly nature is expected to grow the market growth.
