Automotive Valve Stem Seal Market to Register a Strong Growth By 2025 - Persistence Market Research

Valve stem seals are small relative to other gasket and seals in an engine, the play a major part in the lubrication. The valve stem seals are different from others due to their design, which is made to leak. But the amount and the way in which it leaks is controlled precisely to achieve the specific goal. Valve stem seals provide controlled oil leak to lubricate the valve stem as it slides in the valve guide. The oil leak has to precisely control, as too little oil can cause stem and guide wear and too much can cause carbon build up which leads to damaged valve seats, increased emission, and excessive oil consumption.
Automotive valve stem seals are available for gasoline and diesel engines with and without boosting. There’s increasing demand for valve stem seals due to growing automotive market and increased production in emerging markets like Asia.
The major factor to this growth is increasing vehicle manufacturing in countries like China, Brazil and India and increased installation of Valve Stem Seal. Due to high disposable income there’s a growing demand for automobiles which is in turn driving the valve tem seal market. Tremendous changes in technology have been made on the "lower cylinder seal," piston rings. When installed properly piston rings control oil and compression in a cylinder to an infinite degree. With most valve seals, however, this is not the case. The "upper cylinder seal", the valve, has been protected by an "O-ring" or "umbrella" type of valve stem seal. These seals serve the same purpose as building a house with a good roof, but not enclosing the sheltered area with walls. In some cases, in proper climatic conditions, this might be adequate, but certainly not desirable.
These types of seals are based on the theory that what oil goes down the valve stem into the combustion chamber is by gravity flow only. This pays no attention to the tremendous vacuum forces acting upon the lower end of the valve stem, or to the mist or spray effect that the rapidly reciprocating springs, rocker arms, and pushrods have on the oil in the valve chamber. Therefore, where these types of seals are used, we have a marvelously efficient "lower cylinder seal", and no "upper cylinder seal" at all, merely an oil deflector.
Geographically, Automotive Valve Stem Seal Market has been categorized into seven key regions including North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Japan, APEJ, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.

Sulphur Market Set to Surge Significantly by 2025

Sulphur is found naturally as an element in pure state and as sulfate or sulfide minerals. Sulphur crystals are easily differentiated by mineral collectors for their unique and bright colored polyhedron shapes. Earlier sulfur was extracted majorly from salt domes where it occurs in pure form but now this method has been obsolete owing to the new technologies. Today, majority of sulphur is developed as a byproduct from sulphur containing contaminants from petroleum and natural gas. Commercial use of sulphur is carried out in fertilizers, due to high requirements in plants and in the manufacturing of sulphuric acid, an important chemical used in the industry. Various other use of elemental sulphur is found in fungicides and insecticides.
In the year 2010, global production of sulphur was at 67.80 million tones and that of pyrites was 6.1 million tones. Countries such as the U.S., Canada, Russia, China, Japan and Saudi Arabia were the major producers of sulphur. Finland and China were the major producers of pyrites. Elemental sulphur is obtained from the ores by conventional mining method i.e. Frasch method. It is also obtained as a byproduct from processing of sour natural gas, tar sand and sour crude refining. Sulphur recovered from refining processes accounts to 98% of world elemental sulphur production.
In Frasch method, majorly concentric pipes are used. The outer most pipe contains superheated water, that melts the sulphur and the inner most pipe is completely filled with hot compressed air which is used to create pressure and foam. Sulphur foam is then ejected through the centre pipe. Sulphur produced from Frasch process is 99.5% pure and it further needs no purification. Sulphur production from Frasch method for commercial scale was first carried out in Mexico and Brazil. Elemental sulphur is mined in Poland, Russia and China.
Sulphur is used to carry vulcanization process for rubber. It reacts directly with methane to generate carbon disulphide which is used to manufacture rayon and cellophane. Sulphur is mostly used as a precursor to many chemicals. Majority of the sulphur is transformed to sulphuric acid, which is vital to the world economy. Production and consumption of sulphuric acid is an indicator of a nation's industrial development. The prime use of the sulphuric acid is in the manufacturing of Phosphatic fertilizer. Various other applications of sulphuric acid include wastewater processing, mineral extraction and oil refining. Sulphur compounds are utilized in the manufacturing of fungicides, agrichemicals, dyestuffs and detergents.
For silver based photography, ammonium thiosulphate and sodium are used as fixing agents. Sulphites obtained from burning sulphur are used to bleach paper. It is used as preservatives in processed fruit products and dried fruit and as light producing medium in the rare lighting fixtures called as sulphur lamps. The sulphur lamps are very efficient lighting system in which light is produced by sulphur plasma.
Increasing investments and developing economies are the some of the key drivers of the global sulphur market.
