The objectives of this study are to provide clients with a complete understanding of the specific dispersant and antiscalant chemicals and polymers used and the dynamics of their selection for each of the specific markets investigated. In addition, the objectives are to give clients current and projected (2001-2005) consumption estimates, pricing, producers/suppliers and their market share in 2001. This study thoroughly investigated the specific dispersant/antiscalant chemicals and polymers used in the United States for the following applications; Agricultural Pesticides Calcium Carbonate Production Ceramics Cooling Tower Water/Boiler Feed Water Concrete Admixtures Detergent Manufacturing Drilling Fluids (Oil and Gas Wells) Emulsion Polymers Gypsum Board Kaolin Production Mining of Ores Oil and Gas Well Production Paints and Coatings Paper Manufacturing Printing Inks Titanium Dioxide Production Those specific dispersant chemicals and polymers investigated included; Acrylate Polymers Amines/Amine Acetates Carboxymethyl Cellulose EO/PO Block Copolymers Ethoxylated Nonionics Gelatin Whey Hydrocarbons (C9, DCPD) Lecithin Lignin Sulfonate Lignite Maleic Anhydrides Melamine Sulfonate Condensate Naphthalene Sulfonate Condensate Nitrocellulose Polyepoxysuccinic Acid Phosphino Carboxylics Phosphonates/Copolymers Polyamides (Dimer Based) Polyvinyl Alcohol Rosin Esters Modified Rosin Salts (Resinates) Sodium Maleate Sodium Silicates Styrene Acrylics Sulfonated Styrene Maleic Anhydride Tall Oil Modified Terpene Phenolics Others To obtain all of the pertinent information and data to prepare this marketing-technical study, 525 people were interviewed at 265 locations throughout the United States. Contacts were made with technical, sales, marketing and purchasing personnel at companies using dispersants and antiscalants, with companies supplying chemicals and formulations and with technical associations and government agencies.
