WATER BASED COLLOIDAL GRAPHITE MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

Global Water Based Colloidal Graphite Market- Restraints

• Availability of various substitutes such as oil-based colloidal graphite: During the forecast period, global water based colloidal graphite market growth can be hampered by the availability of various substitutes such as oil-based colloidal graphite, water based non-graphite lubricants, and boron nitride suspension. Water based colloidal graphite requires agitation to ensure a homogeneous mixture throughout the ready-for-use product when diluted. Whereas, water-based non-graphite solutions are true solutions and require no agitation after mixing, and thus, making it a suitable lubricant in the forging industry. Water-Based Colloidal Graphite can cause plugging problems in spray application and dilution equipment if not properly maintained. Whereas, non-graphite products are easier to use with application equipment.
• Counterbalance: Though the market for oil-based colloidal graphite, water-based non-graphite lubricants, and boron nitride suspension can hamper water based colloidal graphite market growth, Still the property of water based colloidal graphite to form a thin and conductive layer on a surface will make it a great choice for its acceptance in electronic market.

Global Water-Based Colloidal Graphite  Market- Opportunities

• High thermal conductivity of water-based colloidal graphite: Water based colloidal graphite is gaining traction for conductive coatings as it has high thermal conductivity and electron mobility along with a high specific surface area, owing to its two-dimensional nanostructure. These factors are expected to increase demand for Water Based Colloidal Graphite for smart textiles.
