As per the report titled ‘Silyl Acrylate Polymer (SAP) Market Size By Type By Application, Industry Analysis Report, Regional Outlook, Application Growth Potential, Price Trends, Competitive Market Share & Forecast, 2019 - 2026’, available with Market Study Report, global silyl acrylate polymer (SAP) market is anticipated to witness prominent gains during 2019-2026.
 

Surging demand for fuel saving coatings and increasing shipbuilding activities across the globe are driving the growth of global silyl acrylate polymer market. Silyl acrylate polymer is an innovative resin which is used in self-polishing tin free paint and in anti-fouling marine paints as well.
 

Silyl acrylate polymers have stable hydrolysis rates and self-smoothing properties, which aid the hydrodynamics of the ship’s hull by lowering the frictional drag, thereby reducing the total amount of fuel consumed. They also provide excellent fouling protection and ensure long-term hull performance lasting up to 90 months. Benefits such as faster application, lower solvent emissions to the atmosphere, and reduced wastage and pail consumption are encouraging the product use in shipyards.
