Global Fuel Resistant Sealant Market: Overview

In Global Fuel Resistant Sealant Market Report, Fuel Tank Sealants are high-temperature fuel resistant sealants intended for use on integral fuel tanks with excellent resistance to other fluids such as water, alcohols, synthetic oils, and petroleum-based hydraulic fluids. They exhibit sealing properties with resistance against fuel exposure. Fuel-resistant sealants can function in a wide temperature range of temperatures (-40° to 260°C) and provide resistance against fluids, such as lubes, oil, gasoline, water, and ethanol, along with protection from moisture and dust particles. A fuel-resistant sealant with no hold time provides instant strength, leading to an intensification in production and cost efficiency with improved quality and reduced cost for various applications. Fuel-resistant sealants due to their advanced properties such as their operation at a varied range of temperatures and their usage in several end-use industries have increased their demand. Additionally, the fuel-resistant sealant is used for fuel storage purposes.

Due to the technological advancements in the product, it is widely adopted by several industries as a low volatile organic compound. These fuel-resistant sealants are used in storage tanks with probable exposure to chemicals, like ethanol, gasoline, and crude oil. The market is highly split among big manufacturers with a global reach, and small players actively competing within the country or region. The players with efficient sales networks offer an entire range of products, while small players generally focus on a niche segment of their own, depending upon major customer preferences.

Fuel Resistant Sealant Market: Growth Drivers

Demand for fuel storage and requirement of fuel resistant sealants in the automotive sector

A fuel-resistant sealant with no hold time delivers instant strength, leading to an increase in production and cost efficiency with improved quality and reduced cost for various applications. It is used for the effective performance of assets in the automotive sector. The automobile sector has enumerated strong production in China and India, ultimately creating a positive impact on the demand for fuel-resistant sealants. The primary application of a fuel-resistant sealant is to assemble and repair fuel lines, tanks, and joining components exposed to fuels and oils.

Sealants are the chemical substance used to block the passage of fluids in the joints or surface or openings in materials. Fuel resistant sealants show excellent sealing properties with resistant to fuel exposure. These fuel resistant sealants can be used at a wide range of temperatures of about -40°C to 260°C, moreover, it can also offer great resistance to fluids such as water, oil, lubes, gasoline, and ethanol. When fuel resistant sealant is applied on the substrate it transforms into rubber-like elastic substance. However, it can be used in a wide range of applications such as automotive, aerospace, and others.

Fuel Resistant Sealant Market: Restraints

Limited availability and high cost of raw materials

The raw materials for producing fuel-resistant sealant is limited and a major limitation of these sealants is the release of a small amount of acetic acid during the curing process. If the byproducts are not allowed to vanish in the open environment, they may cause corrosion on some metal substrates and ruin the sealant. Moreover, the high cost of raw materials, coupled with environmental concerns are major restraints to the growth of the fuel resistant sealing market.

Fuel resistant sealant market is projected to develop at the fastest growth rate with increased usage in the number of applications across the globe. Rising industrialization in emerging countries like Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, China, and India is propelling the automotive and construction industry. Therefore, this, in turn, is expected to drive the demand for fuel resistant sealant market. The light-weight property of fuel resistant sealant makes it the most suitable product in the aerospace sector. Moreover, the growing aerospace industry is estimated to propel the demand for fuel resistant sealant market growth. However, fluctuating prices of resins may hamper the market growth of fuel resistant sealant.
