Polyethyleneimine (PEI), also known as poly-aziridine, is a cationic polymer composed of repeating units of ethyleneimine. It aids in improving the stability and shelf life of several products, including paint, inks, and adhesives. It is used as a flocculant in water treatment to remove suspended particles from water. It is also utilized in toothpaste as an emulsifying agent to help improve the consistency and enhance the ability to clean the teeth and remove plaque. As it has the ability to interact with and bind to negatively charged molecules or particles, PEI finds application in various end use industries across the globe.
The increasing need for premium apparel represents one of the major factors driving the demand for PEI in the production of surfactants and detergents. Moreover, there is a rise in the use of PEI in the manufacturing of personal care and cosmetic products, such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, creams, lotions, moisturizers, and face wash. This, coupled with the growing sales of these products via e-commerce channels due to the easy availability and a wider collection of products, is influencing the market positively. In addition, PEI is employed in the pharmaceutical industry as a drug delivery system to improve the solubility and bioavailability of drugs. This, along with the increasing number of individuals with chronic medical conditions, is bolstering the growth of the market. Apart from this, PEI finds application in the automotive industry as a binding agent to improve the stability and adhesion of coatings, such as paints and primers, to metal surfaces. It is also used in the production of polymer electrolyte membranes for fuel cells to develop clean energy sources for vehicles. This, in confluence with the escalating demand for luxury vehicles on account of rapid urbanization and inflating income levels, is contributing to the market growth. Furthermore, PEI is used in the construction industry as a corrosion inhibitor to improve the stability and adhesion of various materials, including concrete, mortar, and plaster. This, in confluence with the growing construction activities in residential, commercial, and industrial areas, is creating a positive outlook for the market.
