North America Construction Hydrophobic Agent Market Definition

Hydrophobic agents are surface protection materials that are competent in increasing the angle of contact between the water and the concrete surface. For this reason, hydrophobic agents reduce water (in liquid form) penetration in concrete. As mentioned earlier, the surface is hydrophobic if it tends not to absorb water or be wetted by water. More particularly, the terms describe the interaction of the boundary layer of a solid phase with liquid or vapor water. Silanes are also been utilized to modify the interaction of boundary layers of solids with water with a high degree of control, affecting variable degrees of hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity.

Further, Hydrophobing agents also referred to as hydrophobic agents, are prominently utilized to minimize water absorption and ensure a water-repellent effect on cleaned surfaces. These compounds are used across a broad range of applications, from surface protection of critical infrastructure and automobiles to designing stain-repellent textiles. Hydrophobic agents are usually used to enhance the durability of building materials that are exposed to moisture. For instance, external and internal factors include; External, rain, fog, dew, and snow; and, Internal, high humidity in kitchens and bathrooms.

North America Construction Hydrophobic Agent Market Overview

A strong application outlook in paints and coatings, personal care, and the building and construction sectors is expected to drive the industry trends in the near future. Besides, favourable government initiatives to support infrastructure development projects in emerging as well as developed economies for the construction of new buildings, as well as renovation of existing ones, will boost the demand for water-repellent and waterproofing chemical compounds. In addition, heavy spending by the government in the restoration of aging residential, commercial and industrial infrastructures will encourage the consumption of hydrophobic chemicals and materials.

However, stringent regulations on the release of VOCs and fluorocarbons in the atmosphere in various countries in North America are estimated to hamper the global hydrophobic agent market in the next few years. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are invisible, carbon-based chemicals that vaporize at room temperature. Moreover, different hydrophobic coatings were fabricated by diverse technologies resulting from the fundamental demands of the construction industry thereby, creating numerous opportunities for the Hydrophobic Agents Market. Also, increasing focus towards developing low VOC and zero VOC hydrophobing agents without compromising heat, moisture, or abrasion resistance properties is expected to drive the market trends over the upcoming years.
