However, characteristics such as the superior finishing of and their low cost have led to an increase in demand from end-users in the cutting tool industry. Innovations in coated abrasive products for such applications and the development of advanced machinery that supports the use of in cutting tool applications are expected to drive the demand during the forecast period.
The major challenge impeding market growth is improper or inadequate storage causing technical issues. Storage is a critical aspect for to retain their efficacy for a longer period. Technical challenges, such as a weakened bond, curling, brittleness, and breakages, can occur without proper material handling. can lose their properties with changes in temperature and humidity. Relative humidity (RH) can cause backings and adhesives to gain or lose moisture. This results either in adhesive bond softening or excessive dryness, which in turn reduces flexibility and distorts the product.
should also be kept away from heat sources such as steam-heated radiators, steam pipes, hot air inlets, heat ducts, or rooms near furnaces or ovens. Improper storage facilities will lead to product defects, causing monetary losses. Efficient and equipped stockrooms are a must for the safe storage of such abrasives. Hence, such factors are hindering the market growth during the forecast period.
