Fluorotelomers are
telomers or oligomers based on fluorocarbons, having few monomer units. Certain
fluorotelomers and their compounds serve as raw materials to environmentally
persistent perfluorinated carboxylic acids such as perfluorononanoate (PFNA)
and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). PFNA and PFOA are primarily used in a wide
range of applications across various industries due to their eco-friendly
nature and inability to bioaccumulate in animals.
Different types of
fluorotelomers are used in the industry such as fluorotelomers iodide,
fluorotelomers alcohol, and fluorotelomers acrylate. Fluorotelomers alcohols
such as TEOH-6 and TEOH-4 are some of the highly consumed products in the
fluorotelomers industry. TEOH-6 and TEOH-4 have the ability to biodegrade to
perfluorinated carboxylic acids that are present in the environment.
Fluorotelomers are used in a wide range of applications such as textiles, stain
resistant fabrics, food packaging and fire fighting foams among others. Fluorotelomer
coatings are applied to food contact papers in packaging applications for
preventing paper from absorbing oil from fatty food products. In addition, they
are also used in pizza box liners, fast food wrappers and popcorn bags.
Textiles account for the largest application segment and are anticipated to be
the fastest growing application on account of the growing demand from end-user
industries such as clothing and yarn for as a means to replace harmful
fluorocarbons.
Besides textiles, food
packaging and fire fighting foams are other key application segments of the
fluorotelomers market and have contributed significantly towards the growth of
the market. Fire fighting foams are being increasingly implemented on account
of strict construction norms in emerging economies. With the growing number of
fire hazards and accidents, fluorotelomers are being increasingly used in fire
fighting foam applications.
The fluorotelomers
industry is still in its developing stage and is expected to gain significant
share over the next few years on account of its increasing use as a substitute
to other fluorocarbons. The global market for fluorotelomers has been
witnessing a noticeable increase owing to growing demand from its application
and their end-user industries. Increasing use of fluorotelomers as coating in
food packaging on account of growing demand for ready-to-eat food products has
significantly contributed towards the growth of the market. In addition,
different strategies by large scale companies such as DuPont for developing
innovative fluorotelomers products for textiles and fire fighting foam
industries have also led towards the growth of the market. DuPont focuses on
developing innovative fluorotelomers products for surfactants and repellants
for delivering maximum performance with minimal negative impact on the
environment. Moreover, the company previously acquired the surface protection
and fluoroadditives business of Atofina Chemicals, Inc. and became the largest
manufacturer of fluorotelomers-based specialty products for surface protection
applications in Europe and North America. However, rising awareness regarding
the toxicity of certain fluorotelomers alcohols in food packaging applications
is expected to hamper the growth of the market.
Asia Pacific accounted
for the largest market share in the fluorotelomers industry, followed by North
America. In addition, Asia Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth
over the next few years owing to the presence of large-scale application
industries such as textiles, which in turn is expected to help the region
maintain its dominant position.
Asahi Glass, Clariant,
Daikin America, DuPont, and Sigma-Aldrich Corporation are some of the key
manufacturers of the global fluorotelomers market.
