阳离子及脂肪胺类表面活性剂的展望(英文)

Growth Prospects for Cationic and Fatty Amine Based Surfactants

过去的几年间 ,减产、兼并及重组在表面活性剂行业屡见不鲜 ,但其中也不乏增长机会。目前市场上阳离子型表面活性剂的产量近 80 0 0 0 0t。近几年 ,以北美及欧洲地区的市场用量最大且较为活跃。尽管总体增长趋缓 ,产品间的微调却始终未断。而产品的新旧转换又进一步推进了市场的前进。随着东南亚经济的复苏 ,南美及亚洲市场呈现增长势头 ,预计全球的增长将主要来自亚洲。介绍了阳离子表面活性剂的技术及其主要应用范围与市场情况。此项技术还在继续发展中 ,比如一些市场已从烷基胺 (四基胺 )转变为酯类四基胺 。

Surfactants based on Cationic and Fatty Aminc technology are described and major markets for these surfactants are outlined.The technology continues to evolve and one example is the transition from alkyl amine quats to ester quars in some markets.Several representative markets are described and potential opportunities for growth including success factors are suggested.
