The objectives of this marketing-technical investigation are to: Provide clients with a total understanding of the specific chemical additives and film forming resins used for the slashing and sizing of warp yarns used in textile weaving in North America. Each of the identified chemical additives and resin film formers are investigated as to its United States, Mexican and Canadian: Consumption in 1992, 1993 and projected through 1998 for filament and for spun yarn uses. Function and performance parameters. Producers, suppliers and blender-formulators 1992, and their 1993 market shares and distribution channels employed to reach the market place. Product designations, pricing, activity levels, attributes and deficiencies. Resin and chemical recovery system technology trends, material reuse and impact virgin materials sales. Environmental protection agencies (U.S., Canada and Mexico) actions and pressures on textile mill sizing effluent discharge and impact on specific chemical and resin use, now and in the future. Desizing problems and impact on sizing material selection and use. Need for improved chemical additives and resin film formers, properties wanted, pricing and potential consumption levels. Slashing and sizing equipment developments and impact on specific chemical additives and resins used. Weaving equipment (loom) technology trends and impact on types of sizing materials used and wanted. The purchase price for this study is $14,000 ($US) The purchase price includes three (3) copies of the study. Additional copies may be obtained at $300 each.
