Key Trends in the Market
Boehmite, a common mineral in bauxite, is a white, somewhat soft basic aluminium oxide that forms dispersed grains or pea-like aggregates. Boehmites occur as nanoparticles in a dispersed phase, giving them a special combination of dispersibility, purity, and consistency. The product is available as a white powder, though impurities may cause it to have hints of green, brown, red, and yellow.- The rising demand for electric and hybrid vehicles due to government incentives in several countries and strict regulations to reduce carbon emissions expands the demand for lightweight, high-performance lithium-ion batteries, which support the boehmite market demand.
- Major energy storage technologies, such as valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries, use boehmite. VRLA batteries are inexpensive, have higher energy efficiency, are very safe, dependable, and used in many industries, such as the automotive, renewable energy, and telecommunications, hence surging the boehmite market growth.
- Being a sustainable material, boehmite is used in the automotive industry as coatings and as an inexpensive additive in fire-safe polymers or flame retardants. Moreover, the high temperature stability, scratch resistance, excellent stability, high purity, and high thermal stability are driving the use of boehmite in applications like ceramic pigments, sanitaryware, and printed circuit boards (PCBs), among others.
