Specialty market

Adhesives and Sealants. Dominated by copolymers, adhesives and sealants remain somewhat of a specialty market. These polymers usually... [Pg.377]

Economic Aspects. Oxetanes are expensive monomers and are not readily available in commercial quantities. Commercial production of PBCMO has been discontinued its end uses were not able to support its comparatively high selling price. Energetic polymers prepared from appropriately substituted oxetanes have opened a new market for their use to prepare soHd rocket propeUants and explosives. Should this specialty market result in the large-scale production of these oxetanes even at current (1996) high prices and/or in a cheap synthetic route to oxetanes, this economic picture could change.

Although the volume of commercial pyridine compounds is relatively large, economic aspects resemble those of specialty markets more than those of commodities. Commercial transactions occur withHtde pubHcity, trade secrets are carefully guarded, and patents proliferate, thus obscuring the industrial processes used for their manufacture. [Pg.333]

The wholesale value of CRFs serving the U.S. specialty markets was estimated at 175 million in 1990. Of this total, agriculture comprised 14 million (6.8 thousand t of CRN) nonagricultural markets accounted for 161 million (93.9 thousand t of CRN). [Pg.129]

Commodity markets are also characterized by more intense competition in supply and demand with multiple offering suppliers and multiple demanding customers. This causes the fact that a customer can change to a different supplier and a supplier can supply alternative customers more easily compared to specialty markets. Specialty markets are also often characterized by close cooperation between customer and supplier e.g. using just-in-time delivery in the automotive industry requiring a close integration and collaboration.

Bico fibers have been available for at least 30 years, but only recently have they developed widespread applications. Bico production equipment is relatively more complex and expensive, and so the fibers require higher selling prices. As these fibers become more common in specialty markets, production cost is decreasing, so that they are now beginning to find uses in commodity applications. [Pg.428]

Adhesives and Sealants. Dominated by copolymers, adhesives and sealants remain somewhat of a specialty market. These polymers usually contain high copolymer content and low viscosity, and often require blending with oilier compounds prior to final application. Their uses are numerous, e.g., as seals for bottled drinks, as tie layers between incompatible polymers, or as automotive adhesives... [Pg.1141]

Barring a few exceptions such as Gulf Oil or Diamond Shamrock, which withdrew from downstream chemicals, all the major companies, both in Europe and in the United States, decided to make specialty chemicals a priority in their development strategy. In truth, some of them had not waited for the energy crisis for them to take a firm foothold in the specialty market. [Pg.21]

Flavored Butter. Flavored butters (garlic, onion, pepper, lemon, etc.) have been successfully mass marketed in Europe (135), but this success has not translated to the U.S. market. There exists a limited specialty market in upscale stores and delicatessens and certain food service applications. Manufacture is quite simple. Creating the desired flavor blends remains an art and skill. [Pg.693]

About 70% of PB production is used for the manufacturing of pipes for cold and hot water supply, and under-floor heating pipes. The remaining 30% of the production volume includes butene/ethylene random co-polymers and finds application in highly specialized and fragmented specialties markets, such as components in easy-peel films, process aids, and many others.878...

Crompton Knowles in a 2 billion exchange of stock. The new company, Crompton Corporation, manufactured specialty chemicals and equipment used in products such as tires, paper, auto parts, and other specialty markets. [Pg.109]

Nevertheless, we believe that, just as the short story has experienced a renaissance in the past 15 years, so too it seems that a new and longer-term interest in the short film is developing recent cable programming initiatives and specialty market developments suggest that it too may experience a renaissance.
