Low-profile additives (LPAs) are substances used in thermoplastics, particularly in producing thermoplastic composites, to improve their processability and performance. LPAs are added to the polymer matrix to reduce viscosity, improving the wetting of reinforcing fibers.
Additionally, LPAs are especially useful in applications with high fiber content or complex geometries, as they can help reduce the viscosity of the polymer matrix, allowing for better impregnation and wetting of the fibers.
As per the National Investment Promotion & Facilitation Agency, India’s electronics export is expected to reach $120 Bn by FY26. Furthermore, from April to November 2023, electronic goods exports were recorded at $17.74 Bn compared to $14.36 Bn from April to November 2022, registering a growth of 23.56%. Domestic production of electronics is valued at $101 Bn in FY23 and is segmented (based on FY22 data) as mobile phones (43%), IT hardware (5%), consumer electronics (12%), strategic electronics (5%), industrial electronics (12%).
