Insulation systems from several materials targeting high temperature and cryogenic conditions are available to be applied on cryogenic tanks, process pipelines, vessels, special equipment or high-temperature boilers etc. Apart from civil insulation which would continue to be an attractive market for manufacturers, these companies would also find in...

Chromic materials are gaining significant traction globally owing to the increasing demand for a broad spectrum of applications such as textile, healthcare, automotive, aerospace and defense , food and beverages, and electronics. These materials take up change in external stimulus such as light, temperature, electric field and magnetic field to de...

Nanoencapsulation embeds nanoparticles of solid, liquid, or gas, which are known as actives into a secondary shell material. The shell and core, also known as a nanoencapsulated system, is targeted to be delivered at a specific region to offer controlled release of the active in achieving specific end applications. Nanoencapsulation has been consid...

Even though more than 70% of our planet's surface is covered with water, water scarcity, i.e., lack of access to clean drinking water, is widespread and remains on the rise: it is found in both growing and developed economies. Further, driven by declining freshwater resources and increasing water demand around the world, water utilities have begun ...

Surfactants and preservatives are key functional ingredients in personal care applications that have attracted significant attention from consumers and regulatory bodies in recent years. This is attributed to the challenges faced by the conventional surfactants and synthetic preservatives including adverse effects of these products on the consumers...

Insulation materials, either in fibrous, cellular or granular form, are adopted across industries such as building and construction, packaging, electronics, consumer goods, energy, manufacturing, oil & gas, aerospace and automotive. Apart from being a thermal barrier, the materials function as anticorrosion, anti-flame, enhance the durability and a...

The fragrance technology segment is at present in the cusp of change with the ever rising need for developing new fragrance molecules that can cater diverse consumer segments across the globe. The segment has been characterized by significant innovations in natural fragrance and renewable ingredient development over the past three years. Increasing...
