Transparency Market Research in its new report titled, “Metal Alkyls Market – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2018 – 2026,” provides key insights on the metal alkyls market. The TMR report anticipates that the metal alkyls market will witness significant growth in demand during the forecast period i.e, 2018-2026, owing to the growth in the polymer sector and chemical synthesis.
According to the report, some of the metal alkyls are metal alkyls Diethylaluminum Chloride (DEAC), Diethylaluminum Ethoxide (DEALOX), Diisobutylaluminum Hydride (DIBAH), Ethylaluminum Dichloride (EADC), Ethylaluminum Sesquichloride (EASC), Triethylaluminum (TEAl), and Triisobutylaluminum (TIBA). For example, Triethylaluminum (TEAl) is primarily used as a cocatalyst in the Ziegler-Natta polymerization of olefins. It is also used as an intermediate in the manufacture of other organometallic compounds, for ethylene oligomerization in the production of olefins, and for the manufacture of fatty alcohols. Metal alkyls are used in a varied range of applications. The primary area of application of metal alkyls is polymerization of olefins and dienes by Ziegler-Natta (ZN) catalyst systems. Metal alkyls and aluminoxane are also used as catalyst in various related technologies that are extensions of Ziegler chemistry. These include oligomerization of ethylene, dimerization and cyclodimerization of olefins and dienes, and ring-opening polymerization. Metal alkyls are used in the production of polypropylene, polyethylene, and several types of synthetic rubber. These are then used in consumer products such as plastic packaging, toys, and automotive parts.
Aluminum and zinc alkyls are the popular metal alkyl compounds used in the CVD process. These alkyl compounds are suitable for producing sulfide and oxide films. In case of aluminum, alkyls of higher molecular weight alkyls are generally used since less amount of unwanted carbon is embedded into films. Typically, metal alkyls react with oxygen, water, sulfur, and other basic reagents to create the desired film composition. Metal alkyls are employed as catalysts in the production of polymers, which, in turn, are used in the production of textiles. This is likely to augment the demand for metal alkyls during the projected period. Chemical reactivity to air and water, and difficulty in transportation are the major restraints of the metal alkyls market. High cost of research and development also acts as a key restraint of the global metal alkyls market. Based on region, the metal alkyls market can be segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is the dominant region of the metal alkyl market due to the rise in demand for catalysts in the manufacture of chemicals. The metal alkyls market in North America and Europe is anticipated to expand due to presence of a large number of manufacturers in these regions. Key participants in the global metal alkyls market include AkzoNobel, Gulbrandsen, Albemarle Corporation, and LANXESS.
