Description of Treated Distillate Aromatic Extracts
Treated distillate aromatic extracts (TDAE) is a rubber processing oil with high aromatic content. It is used rubber softening additive in the process of vulcanization of rubber. Its high viscosity-gravity constant has made it highly preferable in the tire manufacturing applications, thereby, reducing heat buildup. Due to this characteristic of treated distillate aromatic extracts, it is possible to produce large rubber based intermediate products.
TDAE (Treated Distillate Aromatic Extract.) is a non-carcinogenic mineral oil, used as aromatic process oils for the manufacture of oil extended natural or synthetic rubber and tire compounds. This environment friendly process oil is used as a softening additive in the process of vulcanization of natural rubber and as a component of rubber compounds. Its high viscosity gravity constant (VGC) leads to the reduction in heat buildup and rotational resistance during the usage of tires. Such characteristics enable our TDAE to be used in the production of high quality tire and rubbers.
TDAE is Eco friendly rubber oil which is according European standard , low PCA content which is below 3% makes TDAE as safe oil , more than 3% of PCA may cuase skin cancer in human, also PAH should be below 10 ppm .
The global TDAE market has been experiencing moderate growth in terms of consumption over the past few years. The market is heading towards growth expansion and it is expected to grow progressively in the coming years. Demand for TDAE is largely belongs to the growth of the transportation industry. It is primarily used in the production of the tire, which is highly required in the transportation industry. As per the industry experts, transportation industry is poised to grow beyond USD 1.3 trillion by 2020, expanding at dynamic CAGR of over 8%, and likely to set enhanced consumption of TDAE. Rubber products are being increasingly used in a broad spectrum of application in the industries ranging from the agriculture to textile with emergence of FMCG sector as a game changer. Widening application scope of TDAE is providing enhanced growth prospects year by year to this market. On the split side, TDAE contains high polymeric hydrocarbon content which us highly hazardous to the environment. Due to which European Union have regulated strict regulation on the consumption of TDAE and regulations are further followed by non-European countries by restraining the global demand for TDAE.
Treated distillate aromatic extract (TDAE), used as rubber softening additive in rubber processing, and rubber has diverse application across the industrial manufacturing. Increasing industrial output as a result of rising industrial manufacturing is set to uplift the consumption of TDAE and is likely to provide tremendous growth opportunities.
