Pour Point Depressants (PPD) are polymers which lowers the temperature to suppress the precipitation of hydrocarbons present in oil. Pour Point Depressants are also known as paraffin inhibitors. Pour point depressants interlocks the waxy materials or paraffin by co-crystallization and modify the shape of crystals to increase the fluidity of oil or fluid. Good quality pour point depressants lowers the pour point up to 400C. However, poly methacrylate and alkyl aromatic polymers lower the pour point up to 10-200C. The addition of pour point depressants improve the performance of fluid. Pour point depressants are used widely in oil and gas industry so as to enhance the flow characteristics, which helps in easy handling, transportation and storage of crude oil. Automotive industry is expected to contribute a major share in the global pour point depressants market. Moreover, revenue from the sales of pour point depressants across the globe is expected to increase at a moderate CAGR over the forecast period.
Pour Point Depressants Market: Drivers and Restraints
