Self-reinforced Polyphenylene Market: Overview

• Self-reinforced polyphenylene (SRP) is a type of thermoplastic. It is also known as poly-para-phenylene (PPP) copolymer.
• SRP is one of the strongest and hardest engineering thermoplastics. It is melt-processable. It has exceptional mechanical properties.
• Self-reinforcing polyphenylene is an ultra-performance engineering polymer, containing a backbone of directly linked phenylene units
• SRP possesses various properties such as high stiffness, good chemical resistance, high wear resistance, low shrinkage, resistance to UV and gamma rays, dimensional stability, and exceptional performance at low temperatures
• Self-reinforced polyphenylene (SRP) polymers are amorphous in nature and they have glass transition temperatures (Tg). These temperatures fall within the range of 150°C–180°C, depending on the particular grade and composition. SRP polymers are transparent in their natural state, due to their amorphous nature.

Key Drivers of Global Self-reinforced Polyphenylene Market

• The global self-reinforced polyphenylene market is anticipated to expand significantly during the forecast period. This growth is attributable to rising demand for high-strength lightweight vehicles in the automotive industry.
• Growing awareness about properties offered by self-reinforced polyphenylene polymers when used in electronics materials, such as high dimensional stability and good conductive characteristics, is likely to be a driving factor for the global self-reinforced polyphenylene market during the forecast period
• Developing economies, such as India and China, are witnessing rise in the demand for automobiles, medical devices, and electronic devices. China is a leading consumer of self-reinforced polyphenylene polymers, due to presence of an established automotive industry in the country.
• Increasing urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and developing infrastructure are key factors propelling the global self-reinforced polyphenylene market
• On the other hand, volatile prices of raw materials, economic slowdown, and stringent government regulations may affect the global self-reinforced polyphenylene market
