Paper straw adhesives are glues that find application in the manufacture of paper straws. As the concerns regarding environmental safety and the impact of plastic products, particularly straws, on marine life spread worldwide, governments and regulatory authorities in various parts of the world implemented bans on these products. Paper straws were invented as an alternative to these plastic straws to serve an identical purpose.
However, as paper straws would be in contact with food products, the toxicity of compounds used to manufacture them should be nil. Paper straw adhesives are safe raw materials used to manufacture paper straws and find application in connecting the two ends of the paper straws. Polyvinyl acetate emulsion, vinyl acetate copolymer with ethylene, and vinyl polyalcohol, among others, are some of the most common raw materials used for the manufacture of paper straw adhesives.
Paper Straw Adhesives Market Dynamics and Trends
The technological and chemical advancements in adhesives should be considered a major driving factor that boosts the market demand for paper straw adhesives. Nonetheless, the tendency of paper straw adhesives to easily crumble in temperatures other than room temperature restricts the market growth.
Technological and chemical advancements in the field of adhesives
The advancement in science and technology has revolutionized numerous industries across the globe and paper straws adhesives are a major one among them. The impact of technological and chemical advances in paper straw industries is multi-dimensional and spread across various generations. For instance, though adhesives have been available since the dawn of time, lasting eco- and human-health-friendly adhesives were developed with material and chemical technology advancements.
Secondly, the duration of the adhesives, which could survive without breaking, was initially very small. However, the introduction of materials such as PVA, among others, due to the experienced growth in material technology and adhesives enabled the construction of paper straw adhesives that could last three to our hours submerged in a liquid, irrespective of whether it is hot or cold. As a result of these advancements, the demand and end-use of paper straws and paper straw adhesives used to manufacture these straws grew rapidly, boosting the global paper straw adhesive market. Therefore, numerous advancements, including those in terms of technology and chemical advances in adhesives, could be considered a major market driver for the global paper straw adhesives market.
The tendency of certain paper straw adhesives to break down with variations in the temperature of the drink
Paper straw adhesives have to serve two purposes apart from their traditional purpose of holding the two ends of the straw together; these include providing adequate binding strength to guarantee that even at high manufacturing rates and varying paper grades, the straw retains its shape. Secondly, the dry bond must remain intact to preserve straw integrity during beverage immersion.
At the same time, the adhesive must allow the straw to break down and degrade in a landfill or compost at an industrial composting facility once discarded. Therefore, the right moment when the adhesive break or doesn't break is vital to ensure whether the respective component served its purpose or not. However, in certain cases, changes in the temperature of the liquid in which the paper straw is immersed affect the bond strength of the adhesive used due to the effect of temperature on the compounds used to manufacture these adhesives, thereby making the respective paper straw soggy.
As a result, the respective paper loses its purpose and becomes useless. Since such case scenarios would cause immense loss to the paper straw manufacturers, the demand for paper straw adhesives susceptible to this phenomenon could substantially constrict the demand and other market prospects of the global paper adhesives market, thereby restraining the growth potential of the respective market.
COVID-19 Impact on Paper Straw Adhesives Market Growth
The outbreak of COVID-19 has shown a disastrous impact on various industries' market growth, including paper straw adhesives. The major reason for this experienced market downfall is the professional partial shutdown of the food & beverages industry due to the impact of the pandemic. The implemented lockdown and social distancing caused restaurants and other types of eateries to shut down.
Since these were the only consumers of paper straws, the demand for paper straws and their manufacture diminished extensively, negatively affecting the market demand for paper straw adhesives used to manufacture paper straws. However, since the pandemic is subsiding with governmental restrictions, the food & beverages market is returning to its formal glory. Thus, an overall upliftment is expected in the market share for paper straw adhesives over the forecast period.
Paper Straw Adhesives Market Segment and Shares Analysis
The global Paper straw adhesives market is segmented based on material, type of drink, source, set time, viscosity, and elasticity.
The numerous positive chemical characteristics and ease of use enable polyvinyl acetate emulsion to dominate the materials segment.
Polyvinyl acetate emulsion or PVA is a colorless, nontoxic thermoplastic glue made by polymerizing vinyl acetate. It is one of the most common types of water-dispersed adhesives and is commonly known variously as wood glue, white glue, carpenter's glue, and school glue, among others. PVA adhesives form transparent, rigid films resistant to weather and water, grease, oil, and petroleum fuels. Once dried, the film is quite hydrophobic because PVA is an emulsion and not a simple water solution. The water from the substrate is then removed by evaporation or absorption and is later cured. PVA adhesives form transparent, rigid films resistant to weather and water, grease, oil, and petroleum fuels. Additional features include high initial tack, practically undetectable bond line, softening at 30–45 °C, strong biodegradation resistance, weak resistance to creep under load, and inexpensive cost.
Due to their biodegradability, nontoxic nature, and ease at which they could be manufactured and used, PVA emulsions are one of the favorite types of glue for paper straw manufacturers. Thus, the supportive chemical characteristics, cheap price range, and ease of manufacture allow the polyvinyl acetate emulsion segment to dominate.
