Fluoropolymer - Overview
Fluoropolymers are a class of high performance plastics that is distinguished by their robust carbon-fluorine (C-F) linkages. In situations where temperature resistance is required, fluoropolymers aid in creating nonstick surfaces. They are utilized in gaskets and seals, lined pipes, pumps, valves, and tank and reactor linings. They are essential for maintaining the safety of various chemical systems and equipment, as well as the safety of employees and the general public. Fluoropolymer coatings extend the life and improve the functionality of the goods they are applied to by providing protection.

Growth Drivers
Government?s Initiatives for Infrastructure Development
The rapid urbanization and infrastructure development under Vision 2030 is directly fueling the growth of Saudi Arabia Fluoropolymer Market. Fluoropolymers are extensively used in the construction sector as architectural coating and building materials. These materials are highly stable and have a range of exceptional properties, including chemical resistance, thermal stability, and electrical insulation. Owing to their high weather and chemical resistance, fluoropolymers are used as window and glass panel coatings and roofing materials for large structures with limit support, such as industrial warehousing, airports, and sports facilities.
Challenges
Negative Health Impact associated with Fluoropolymer
The negative impact of fluoropolymer on humans, animals, and environment may act as major barrier to the growth of Saudi Arabia Fluoropolymer Market. Respiratory and flu-like symptoms typically appear suddenly after being exposed to waterproofing chemicals containing fluoropolymer, which can cause lung harm. In addition to harming human health, fluoropolymer is also threat to environment as well. Fluoropolymers are non-biodegradable, and highly resistant to heat, moisture, and common chemicals. Stringent government regulations in many countries surrounding sustainability may limit the growth of Saudi Arabia Fluoropolymer Market during the period in analysis.
