Fluorosilicic Acid Market to See Incredible Growth | 2019
Fluorosilicic
acid is an organic liquid produced as by product of hydrogen fluoride
and phosphoric acid production. It is generally used for fluoridation
of water to maintain fluoride level in water by municipal
corporations and in toothpastes. Maintaining fluoride levels helps in
preventing tooth decay. Being a liquid, fluorosilicic acid is easy to
handle and plant operators does not have to handle the fine powder
which may create occupational hazards. Fluorosilicic acid is used in
various applications that include sterilization, electroplating,
commercial laundry, oil well acidizing, wood preservative, stain and
rust removing, neutralizing agent and for tanning of glass, ceramic
and animal hides.

Report Overview @
Rising
demand of fluorosilicic acid in fluoridation of drinking water is
expected to drive the market. Governmental regulations in the U.S.
and Europe are compelling the municipal corporations to use
fluorosilicic acid as fluoridating agent for public drinking water.
Fluorosilicic acid is used in manufacturing of commercial detergents
such as cryolite, silicon tetrafluoride and other fluorosilicicates.
Rising demand from textile industry is further expected to boost the
market growth as it is being used for removal of stain and rust from
the fabrics. Concentrated fluorosilicic acid found applications in
tanning of animal hides & skin, glass and ceramics. Rising demand
for tanned glass and ceramic from various end user applications such
as house interiors, electrical and electronics is expected to fuel
the flurosilicic acid market.
However,
corrosive nature and fuming property of concentrated fluorosilicic
acid especially above 20% concentration may hamper the market growth.
The acidic nature of this compound leaches the lead and arsenic from
water delivery plumbing. Additionally, it is a byproduct of phosphate
fertilizer industry and claimed to be contaminated with heavy metals
and radioactive elements which may inhibit the fluorosilicic acid
market growth. Increasing application in sterilization and fumigation
technologies is expected to provide immense opportunities for the
players in fluorosilicic acid market. Further, rising demand from
dental applications such as mouth rinse solutions, chewing gums and
toothpastes is expected to contribute to the opportunities in
developed countries.
North
America is the largest consumer of fluorosilicic acid in terms of
consumption followed by Europe. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
from the U.S. has certified the chemical to be used as fluoridating
agent in drinking water and have compelled municipal corporations to
use for fluoridation to prevent tooth decay of population. Commercial
laundry and textile industries are expected to boost the
fluorosilicic acid market in this region. European countries such as
Ireland, the United Kingdom uses fluorosilicic acid for fluoridation
of drinking water and for tanning animal hides and skin. Rising
demand from these end user industries is expected to fuel the market
growth in this region. Growing application in mouth wash, gel and
other dental products is expected to drive the market in North
America and Europe. China was the largest producer of fluorosilicic
acid due to presence of large number of players and abundant raw
materials. Changing lifestyle and disposable income in Asia Pacific
is driving dental care and commercial laundry market which in turn
expected to boost the fluorosilicic acid market.
