Market Procurement Intelligence Analysis Report

Procurement Outlook Sodium cyanide is a highly toxic salt that commonly appears as a white solid and is redolent of almonds. It is soluble in water, ammonia, methanol, and ethanol. Sodium cyanide can be segmented into two types based on forms; solid sodium cyanide and liquid sodium cyanide.   Following are the major applications of sodium cyanide: Mining:  Sodium cyanide   is extensively used in the mining industry. The main use of sodium cyanide in mining is the extraction of gold and other precious metals. Gold is highly reactive to cyanide, therefore, it is explicitly used in gold mining. Chemical feedstock- Sodium cyanide helps in producing several commercially significant chemical compounds such as cyanogen chloride, many types of nitriles, and cyanuric chloride. Nitriles are present in many chemicals, and it has vast usage in the pharmaceutical industry. Furthermore, sodium cyanide is used as an agricultural chemical and pesticide. It can also be used to produce hydrocyanic acid.

  Procurement Outlook Containers are used to transport bulk materials via container ships on seaways. A shipping container is usually made of sturdy material which ranges from reusable steel boxes that are used for intermodal shipment, ubiquitous corrugated boxes, or even wooded pallets. While shipping containers may come in various sizes, the four most popular sizes of container sizes are 8-feet shipping container, 10-feet shipping container, 20-feet shipping container, a 40-feet shipping container. Even among these varieties of sizes, the 20-feet and the 40-feet shipping containers are the most popular containers. The shipping containers are essentially manufactured as per ISO specifications not only to have a hassle-free loading and unloading but also to be capable of withstanding extreme environments and maintain their structural integrity during a voyage. Demand Outlook The global  shipping container market  is expected to be valued at USD 6.4 billion in 2027. While the shipping a

  Procurement Outlook Refrigerated transport is a method of transporting shipments (Meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, pharmaceutical products, etc.) with specially designed temperature-controlled trucks or vehicles. The transporting trucks have a built-in refrigeration system that maintains the regulated temperature through the shipment process. Based on the type of cargo carried, refrigerated transport vehicles can be categorized into the following segments:   ·         Isothermal trucks: It has insulating walls, as well as the floor and ceiling inside the merchandise section to control the temperature. ·         Refrigerated trucks: This isothermal vehicle manages to reduce the temperature inside the cargo area and preserve it for a long duration. ·         Fully integrated refrigerated truck: The truck has a device that cools the cargo box. It reduces the temperature inside the merchandise and keeps it stable between 12 degrees and -20 degrees, depending on the product in

  Procurement Outlook Growing awareness about the environment and the need of reducing glass waste in driven the need for glass recycling. Glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled endlessly without loss in quality or purity.  Recycled glass  can be substituted for up to 95% of raw materials. Recycled glass reduces carbon emissions, reduces the consumption of raw materials of glass manufacturing, extends the life of plant equipment, such as furnaces, and saves energy.  Following is the process of industrial glass recycling: Collection of recyclable glass Transportation of recyclable to a material recovery facility (MRF) Collected glass waste is separated by material type Glass from the MRF and drop-off locations is sent to a glass processing company Glass is separated from other waste and contaminants Sorting of glass based on color Glass cullet is sold to glass container manufacturers Glass container manufacturers then use that glass cullet to make new glass containers Demand Outlo

  Procurement Outlook Polyvinyl acetate (PVA) is a colorless, nontoxic, synthetic resin prepared by the polymerization of vinyl acetate. It has good resistance to UV and oxidation. PVA is extensively used in the packaging industry as adhesives. PVA emulsions are inexpensive and possess good adhesion to many porous substrates, but are not effective on non-porous surfaces. They are one of the main ingredients of water-based glues, commonly referred to as wood glue, carpenter's glue, Elmer's glue (USA), or white glue. PVA is used as an inexpensive, low-toxic, and no odor adhesive to bond and seal high-energy surfaces such as paper, corrugated cartons, cotton, and wood, etc. It is often preferred over other types of adhesives due to its low cost, good stability to light, and yellowing resistance capability. PVA is also used as a plasticizer and thickener for paints,  textile  finishes, plastics, cement, and chewing gum. It is relatively (~50%) cheaper than other acrylic resins and
