Polyether Block Amide Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2020 - 2030

Polyether Block Amide Market: Introduction

• Polyether block amide is a multiblock copolymer, which is made of rigid polyamide and flexible polyether, and is known by the trade name Pebax. These are plasticizer-free, thermoplastic elastomers, which belong to the class of engineering polymer. They are easy to process by injection molding and profile or film extrusion.
• Polyether block amide offers superior mechanical and dynamic properties which include flexibility, impact resistance, and fatigue resistance. In addition, it also offers excellent low-temperature impact strength, resistance to chemicals, high elasticity, and good resilience. 
• Polyether block amide is widely used in sportswear, fibers & fabrics, packaging, medical, industrial, and other applications. Among these applications, sportswear is likely to hold major share of the Polyether block amide market. Polyether block amide offers a broad range of flexibility, has good low temperature flexibility characteristics, and high strength and toughness; thus, it is used in sports equipment including footwear components, outsoles, and ski boots.
• In medical applications, polyether block amide is extensively used in manufacturing of catheters, PVC-free tubing, medical gowns, etc. due to its excellent flexibility, toughness, and impact strength. Swift industrial growth coupled with rise in demand for lightweight and flexible material is expected to augment the polyester block amide market by the end of the forecast period.
