Raw Materials Market Reports & Publications

Paumanok Publications, Inc. announces the release of its 2007 report on the global supply chain for dielectric films to the capacitor industry with forecasts to 2014. The study focuses on all known film dielectrics consumed in capacitors, with emphasis upon OPP, PET, PPS and PEN films. This report is a comprehensive global market analysis for plastic dielectric films consumed in capacitors including OPP, PET, PPS, PEN and other exotic dielectric films. Includes value, volume and average prices for metallized and unmetallized film consumed in the capacitor industry for both AC and DC applications.Film consumption forecasts through 2014 are determined based upon film dielectric consumption by capacitor type and sub-category. Sales and market share data for Toray, Bollore, Steiner, Mitsubishi, Teijin/Du Pont, Tervakoski, Birkelbach, SKC, Filmet, Treofan, KopaFilm, Borealis and Shin-etsu. ISBN # 0-929717-88-0 (2007)

Polyethylene Terephthalate Dielectric Film is the second largest plastic film consumed in capacitors. This dielectric material exhibits the proper balance between price and performance in a dielectric film capacitor. The material is primarily consumed in 5 mm radial leaded PET film capacitors for applications in general purposes filtering and is also consumed in some interference suppression and some pulse applications. This study offers value, volume and pricing for PET film consumed as a dielectric, and tracks consumption from extrusion to metallization to consumption in capacitors. Forecasts are determined based upon forecasted growth in 5mm PET film capacitors; X and Y capacitors, AC & Pulse and specialty capacitor designs. Forecasts to 2014. ISBN # 1-893211-82-7 (2007)

This is a global analysis of polypropylene dielectric film supply to the capacitor industry. The study addresses the use of polypropylene as a dielectric for a variety of capacitor solutions. The value, volume, and pricing data is given for the supply chain; including sales and market shares for both thin film extrusion and for metallized OPP film sales. Consumption of polypropylene film in each of the capacitor subsets is addressed- including power transmission and distribution capacitors, motor run capacitors, power film capacitors, magnetic ballast capacitors and microwave oven capacitors. Additional market data is given on thin film polypropylene consumption for AC & Pulse for degaussing circuit; and for safety capacitors for X and Y circuits. Polypropylene consumption to 2014 is based upon expected demand from these market segments offset by improved volumetric efficiency in the capacitor design.. All major players are discussed and clear supply channel overview is given, with customers in each sub-set, so that a clear strategy can be formulated by the reader with respect to investment in the sector over the next seven years.
