Global Specialty Polyamides Market Overview
Polyamides can occur in nature as well as can be obtained artificially. Polyamides are macromolecules linked by amide bonds with repeating units. Polyamides that are obtained artificially can be made by either solid-phase synthesis or step-growth polymerization. Specialty polyamides on the other hand are used as a replacement for synthetic polyamides wherein specialty polyamides have superior mechanical and thermal properties to synthetic type and have improved humidity resistance. Additionally, specialty polyamides also offer greater resistance towards solvents and aids that are commonly used. Specialty polyamides can be used as films or in form of fibers obtained through extrusion and molding processes. The type of fibers obtained from specialty polyamides consist of particle size distribution in a very tightly controlled manner. These fibers consist of the potential to maintain their stability during degradation that results in eliminating wastes and aids in reducing operational costs. The property to resist degradation helps in obtaining flexible and robust products for various end-user industries. Specialty polyamides can be produced from renewable sources of energy such as palm kernel oil, castor oil, ω amino lauric acid and more which makes them environmental friendly products which is expected to propel the specialty polyamides market on account of growing environmental awareness among the present manufacturing population.
