Global Cellulose Acetate Market Research Report By Application - Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2014 - 2021
Cellulose acetate is a thermoplastic polymer manufactured from the acetylation of cellulose. Cellulose is the most commonly available o compound on the earth. Cellulose acetate is produced from wood pulp. Cellulose acetate is prevalently found in forms such as granules of fibre, powder, and granules. Cellulose acetate possesses physical properties like transparency, toughness, good dimensional stability, and deep gloss, which make it a very important material with varied uses. It has high chemical resistance and heat resistance.
Cellulose acetate is available in the market as cellulose acetate flakes, cellulose acetate esters, and other forms. Primary applications of cellulose acetate are cigarette filter tow and textile fibres due to its property of absorbance. Cellulose acetate finds its applications in magnetic computer tape, wound dressings, personal hygiene products, absorbent cloths, and wipes. It is also used to make consumer products such as plastic films, textiles, and separation membranes. It is also used in manufacture of cellulose acetate compounds and extrusion compounds, sheet, photographic films, coatings & Inks. Cellulose acetate has become well known as an eco-friendly plastic because it is non-hazardous, cheap, renewable, and biodegradable. It is used in absorbent surgical dressings and various types of adhesives.
The increasing consumption of cigarettes in Asia Pacific is the major driver for cellulose acetate market in this region. The application of cellulose acetate in LCD’s is also providing a boost for the cellulose acetate market in Middle East and Africa regions. There is also a prevalent market for cellulose acetate in North America, Europe and Latin America. The major companies manufacturing cellulose acetate are Acordis Acetate, Borregaard, Celanese Corporation, Chinese National Tobacco Corp., Daicel Chemical Company, Eastman Chemical Company, Imperial Tobacco Group, Mitsubishi Rayon Company Limited, Philip Morris International, Rayonier, Rhodia Acetow GmbH, Rotuba Extruders, Sappi, SK Chemicals Co. Ltd. and Tembec.
