1. Statemarketautochemistry

Currently, in the domestic market there is a great variety of all kinds of chemistry for cars. Let's take a closer look at each of its types.

1.1 Engine oils

A special group of auto chemicals includes motor oils, which in turn are divided into three types: mineral, synthetic and semi-synthetic. At the core engine oils there are base oils and additives that improve its performance. As a result of chemical synthesis, synthetic motor oils are formed. They have a high uniformity of composition and maximum chemical and thermal stability of properties.

Despite the fact that the price of synthetic oils is several times higher than mineral oils, they have many advantages: low volatility at high temperatures, lower waste consumption, high resistance to oxidation, optimal viscosity over a wide temperature range, less tendency to form deposits, reliable lubrication at high loads and temperatures, long service life, low friction losses. Semi-synthetic motor oils are intermediate between mineral and synthetic oils. They are based on a mixture of synthetic and high quality mineral base oils. Semi-synthetic oils are cheaper than mineral and synthetic oils and provide engine oil with high performance properties. In the engine, engine oil serves to reduce wear and friction between engine parts, protects them from corrosion, washes, retains products of incomplete combustion of fuel, and seals the gap between the piston, its rings and cylinder. Foreign manufacturers of motor oils and engine builders use the same standards adopted in the classifications to designate the characteristics of oils and their areas of application:

SAE - Society of Automotive Engineers;

API - American Petroleum Institute;

ACEA - Association of European Automobile Manufacturers;

ILSAC - International Committee for Standardization and Approval lubricants.

Domestic manufacturers use GOST 17.479.1-85.

1.2 Additives

Additive - a drug that is added to fuel, lubricants and other substances in small quantities to improve their performance properties. Increasing environmental requirements for automotive engine emissions and the tougher operating conditions of modern internal combustion engines require the use of a variety of motor fuel additives on an increasingly large scale. In recent years, a huge range of anti-knock, cetane-boosting, anti-wear, detergent, anti-carbon additives, as well as depressants and dispersants, has been released to the market abroad. It is known that Russia is significantly behind the world level in the development of modern fuel additives, although the situation is not the same for individual groups of additives. There are many types of additives. Among them are viscous, detergent additives, antioxidant additives, anti-corrosion additives, antifreeze additives, extreme pressure additives, anti-wear additives, dispersed additives. Additives are used in two main cases:

In the manufacture of fuels - to obtain a product that meets the requirements of standards;

When using standard fuels - to improve their performance, environmental and ergonomic characteristics.

1.3 brake fluids

The purpose of brake fluids is to transmit force from the master brake cylinder to the wheel cylinders. The quality of brake fluids are high technical requirements. Currently, there are various types of imported brake fluids on the market. But it can only be used in foreign cars and in domestic cars only the liquid recommended by the manufacturer for any car and labeled DOT-3 or DOT-4. The composition of brake fluids includes various esters, low molecular weight polymers and targeted additives. As for performance (including temperature properties), when comparing the performance of DOT-3 or DOT-4, they are approximately identical to the domestic Tomy or Rose fluid and do not have any special differences.

Antifreeze is a general name for liquids that do not freeze at low temperatures. They are used in installations operating at low temperatures for cooling internal combustion engines. Mixtures of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerin, alcohols and other substances with water are used as antifreeze base fluids.

Abroad, the term antifreeze was used to refer to a concentrate that was added to water in the cooling system of an internal combustion engine. However, this term took into account only the frost protection role of this product, assuming that its use is a seasonal requirement and does not reflect its function as a heat exchange medium designed to protect the engine cooling system from corrosion and damage under all operating conditions.

1.4 Gear oils

Transmission oils are used in mechanical gearboxes and drive axles. They can create a strong lubricating film that can withstand heavy loads in contact parts. But transmission fluids are not used in all cars, for example, in front-wheel drive vehicles, manufacturers prescribe to fill in engine oil in a gearbox combined with the main gear.

Neither transmission nor engine oil is suitable for automatic transmissions. They require a low-viscosity fluid called ATF to operate. In cars and trucks with a classic layout, as well as in all-wheel drive and some front-wheel drive vehicles, only transmission oils are used. Previously, in our country, the parameters and labeling of lubricants were set in accordance with GOST. At present, the international classification has become predominant.

1.5 Anti-corrosion agents

It should be noted anti-corrosion agents for body treatment. There are six types of them for various purposes and applications. They are also available in various packaging from aerosol cans, convenient for ordinary consumers, to professional bottles and barrels with a volume of 205 liters. For example, anti-gravity, anticorrosive agents, both on a bitumen basis and on the basis of wax and resin, which are designed to treat various body surfaces - the bottom, wheel arches, where products are needed that are highly resistant to mechanical wear, including hidden, hard-to-reach cavities . There is, for example, anti-gravel, which can be applied to plastic parts and then painted with paint. All of them will significantly extend the life of your car body. Liqui Moly supplies equipment for applying anticorrosive agents - these are various pneumatic guns that allow you to spray products into the most inaccessible places.

1.5 Autocosmetics

Autocosmetics - necessary and very useful thing when caring for a car. It protects metal and paint from corrosion and harmful influences, and helps to keep the car in excellent condition. With car cosmetics, you can wash, polish the car body, clean its internal parts.

Car shampoos reliably protect car paintwork from rain, salt, tar, tar, poplar buds, traces of birds and insects. With their help, you can make your car shine with brilliance. Among the manufacturers of car shampoos, the United Kingdom and the United States of America stand out.

The polish helps simultaneously with polishing to remove a layer of oxides, traces of kidneys, insects, oil films from the surface. After using the polish, a powerful protective layer remains on the body, giving the surface a radiant sheen. Today this position of autochemistry is developed especially diversified.

There is a wide variety of polishes:

Polish together with paint restorer: in such preparations the properties of paint restorer and polish are combined. The polish protects against harmful effects ultraviolet radiation;

Protective polishes include Teflon, urethane and other synthetic additives in their composition. When processing a surface with a top layer of paintwork, a polymerization reaction occurs. The result is a protective coating that is resistant to impacts. environment, reducing pollution and facilitating car washing;

Polishing pastes are polishes with a thick consistency that allow you to apply a thicker layer. This type of polish is ideal for treating old surfaces. Several types of pastes are offered: color-enriched, protective, wax.

Engine cleaners are divided into foam, which are subject to subsequent treatment with water, and sprays for cleaning engine compartment elements. They are good at dissolving stubborn dirt deposits.

Cleaners are divided into: surface cleaners from insects and resins; glass cleaners; cleaners rims; anti-rain; cleaners and polishes for black plastic and vinyl; chrome cleaners and polishes.

One of the most significant components of the autocosmetics market is occupied by paints and varnishes. Automotive paints are a class of paints and varnishes designed to protect a car from damaging environmental factors, to carry out repairs. The composition of automotive paints is quite complex, but there are only three main components: a pigment, a binder polymer, and a solvent.

As the name implies, a pigment is a component whose main function is to form a certain color of the painted surface. At the same time, in modern car paints, the pigment necessarily performs one or more secondary functions - protection of metal and plastics from corrosion and mechanical damage, formation of the required surface adhesion, surface tension and viscosity of the paint formulation itself, influence on the roughness factor. A two-component paint protection system removes dirt from paint microcracks and forms an activated chemical layer on it. When re-applied to the surface, it flows into the pores and microcracks of the paintwork and forms a protective film. Rust converters are designed to remove rust stains and prepare the treated surface for touch-up.

For cosmetic repair of scratches and small chips, repair pencils are used. To improve the quality, it is desirable to apply protective polishing over the applied pencil. After a certain time, the places treated with a wax pencil need to be updated. For touching up chips, repair bottles with acrylic paint or air dry varnish. With the help of a small brush inserted into the lid of the bottle, it is convenient to handle small chips and scratches. Before applying paint or varnish, the surface is washed, if necessary, traces of corrosion are removed from it, and degreasing is carried out. Paint is selected by number, which must match the standard numbering of colors.

"Auto drugs capable of restoring paintwork are probably one of our steps in the near future"

Almost all automakers continue to lose volumes, and the numbers of such drops are mostly double-digit. Therefore, in order not to fall along with the new car market, our company is actively fighting to increase its share in the automotive chemicals market. We are expanding our partner network and are enthusiastically approaching cooperation not only with large automotive holdings, but also with small dealerships. At the same time, we, as manufacturers of auto chemical goods and auto cosmetics, have come to understand the need to expand the range and include luxury products in it, aimed at owners of executive cars, the sales of which, as well as the financial capabilities of the owners themselves, remain at a more stable level than the average. price segment.
Also, the ever-increasing role of used car sales cannot be ignored. Auto drugs capable of restoring paintwork are probably one of our steps in the near future.
In our common corporate opinion, the main anti-crisis philosophy is the denial of the current crisis. Let me explain: we urge our colleagues “not to live in the past”, but to adapt to the present. As part of this adaptation, we have already revised the practice of conducting business processes in the company and introduced a modern CRM system, began to pay maximum attention to training and motivating our own staff, as well as employees of partner auto centers, and continue to develop new product niches.

“Domestic manufacturers have occupied the cheap segment of the market, thereby attracting more and more buyers”

Recently, we have seen a decline in the auto chemical goods and auto cosmetics market in Russia as a whole. Most of our partners - auto parts stores - say that people have become more economical, selective in their purchases. They are willing to pay only for essential goods, such as consumables (motor oil, filters, etc.), without which car maintenance is impossible.
We can say that the market for cleaning products is divided by domestic and foreign companies. If in the 2000s the market for autocosmetics and auto chemical goods could be called 70-80% imported, then recent studies show that a large share of the market goes to domestic manufacturers.
Domestic manufacturers have occupied the cheap segment of the market, thereby attracting more and more buyers. In the current crisis situation in our country, as well as the high exchange rate of the euro, it is becoming more and more difficult for foreign manufacturers to maintain their positions in the market.
We hope for a stable economic situation in Russia, which will enable companies not only to maintain their positions in the market, but also allow them to grow up, increasing their volumes.

"The situation gives unique chance domestic manufacturer of quality products"

We see the Russian market as segmented and highly competitive, but due to changes in the consumption structure, it has been drifting towards professional products for several years now. The “private label” direction of retailers and filling station chains of all scales is also actively developing and already occupies a significant market share: from local to global. We believe that the budget and premium segments will grow at the expense of the middle segment, while maintaining the overall capacity.
In any crisis, it is necessary to adapt product, marketing and pricing policy to the realities of the market, to establish direct communications with the consumer - to give him an "understandable" product at an adequate price, to work more actively with "networks".
This situation gives a unique chance to a domestic manufacturer of quality products. It is necessary to reduce the cost, and, as a result, the price of products by increasing the efficiency of each operation and replacing imported components with high-quality Russian ones.

“Consumers who used to choose imported auto cosmetics now prefer Russian brands”

Today, the autocosmetics market, like the entire autochemistry market, is in stagnation. Buyers are moving from the premium price segment to the mid-price or budget segment.
Consumers who used to choose imported auto cosmetics now prefer Russian brands. The current situation allows the company "Tosol-Sintez" to actively develop the range, release new items in demand. In 2016, the range was expanded with new sealants, adhesives, and a summer series of car cosmetics. When developing new products, we first of all take into account how the product will meet the expectations of consumers in terms of quality and price.
New distribution channels, distribution growth in outlets and the expansion of the assortment in the aggregate allows the company "Tosol-Sintez" to increase its share in the market of autocosmetics in a difficult economic situation.

This year the trend for cheap goods will continue, and next year the demand for quality products will increase.
Today, more than ever, cost reduction, perfect quality and new products, and a willingness to build long-term relationships with partners are needed. We are increasing our presence now, I think the chances will increase by the middle of next year

Marketing research of the domestic market of automotive chemicals. Classification of the main groups of goods: additives, brake fluids, gear oils, anti-corrosion agents, auto cosmetics. The state of supply and demand in the automotive chemicals market.

1. Statemarketautochemistry

Currently, in the domestic market there is a great variety of all kinds of chemistry for cars. Let's take a closer look at each of its types.

1.1 Engine oils

A special group of auto chemicals includes motor oils, which in turn are divided into three types: mineral, synthetic and semi-synthetic. Engine oils are based on base oils and additives that improve its performance. As a result of chemical synthesis, synthetic motor oils are formed. They have a high uniformity of composition and maximum chemical and thermal stability of properties.

Despite the fact that the price of synthetic oils is several times higher than mineral oils, they have many advantages: low volatility at high temperatures, lower waste consumption, high resistance to oxidation, optimal viscosity over a wide temperature range, less tendency to form deposits, reliable lubrication at high loads and temperatures, long service life, low friction losses. Semi-synthetic motor oils are intermediate between mineral and synthetic oils. They are based on a mixture of synthetic and high quality mineral base oils. Semi-synthetic oils are cheaper than mineral and synthetic oils and provide engine oil with high performance properties. In the engine, engine oil serves to reduce wear and friction between engine parts, protects them from corrosion, washes, retains products of incomplete combustion of fuel, and seals the gap between the piston, its rings and cylinder. Foreign manufacturers of motor oils and engine builders use the same standards adopted in the classifications to designate the characteristics of oils and their areas of application:

SAE - Society of Automotive Engineers;

API - American Petroleum Institute;

ACEA - Association of European Automobile Manufacturers;

ILSAC - International Committee for Standardization and Approval of Lubricants.

Domestic manufacturers use GOST 17.479.1-85.

1.2 Additives

Additive - a drug that is added to fuel, lubricants and other substances in small quantities to improve their performance properties. Increasing environmental requirements for automotive engine emissions and the tougher operating conditions of modern internal combustion engines require the use of a variety of motor fuel additives on an increasingly large scale. In recent years, a huge range of anti-knock, cetane-boosting, anti-wear, detergent, anti-carbon additives, as well as depressants and dispersants, has been released to the market abroad. It is known that Russia is significantly behind the world level in the development of modern fuel additives, although the situation is not the same for individual groups of additives. There are many types of additives. Among them are viscous, detergent additives, antioxidant additives, anti-corrosion additives, antifreeze additives, extreme pressure additives, anti-wear additives, dispersed additives. Additives are used in two main cases:

In the manufacture of fuels - to obtain a product that meets the requirements of standards;

When using standard fuels - to improve their performance, environmental and ergonomic characteristics.

1.3 brake fluids

The purpose of brake fluids is to transmit force from the master brake cylinder to the wheel cylinders. High technical requirements are imposed on the quality of brake fluids. Currently, there are various types of imported brake fluids on the market. But it can only be used in foreign cars and in domestic cars only the liquid recommended by the manufacturer for any car and labeled DOT-3 or DOT-4. The composition of brake fluids includes various esters, low molecular weight polymers and targeted additives. As for performance (including temperature properties), when comparing the performance of DOT-3 or DOT-4, they are approximately identical to the domestic Tomy or Rose fluid and do not have any special differences.

Antifreeze is a general name for liquids that do not freeze at low temperatures. They are used in installations operating at low temperatures for cooling internal combustion engines. Mixtures of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerin, alcohols and other substances with water are used as antifreeze base fluids.

Abroad, the term antifreeze was used to refer to a concentrate that was added to water in the cooling system of an internal combustion engine. However, this term took into account only the frost protection role of this product, assuming that its use is a seasonal requirement and does not reflect its function as a heat exchange medium designed to protect the engine cooling system from corrosion and damage under all operating conditions.

1.4 Gear oils

Transmission oils are used in mechanical gearboxes and drive axles. They can create a strong lubricating film that can withstand heavy loads in contact parts. But transmission fluids are not used in all cars, for example, in front-wheel drive vehicles, manufacturers prescribe to fill in engine oil in a gearbox combined with the main gear.

Neither transmission nor engine oil is suitable for automatic transmissions. They require a low-viscosity fluid called ATF to operate. In cars and trucks with a classic layout, as well as in all-wheel drive and some front-wheel drive vehicles, only gear oils are used. Previously, in our country, the parameters and labeling of lubricants were set in accordance with GOST. At present, the international classification has become predominant.

1.5 Anti-corrosion agents

It should be noted anti-corrosion agents for body treatment. There are six types of them for various purposes and applications. They are also available in various packaging from aerosol cans, convenient for ordinary consumers, to professional bottles and barrels with a volume of 205 liters. For example, anti-gravity, anticorrosive agents, both on a bitumen basis and on the basis of wax and resin, which are designed to treat various body surfaces - the bottom, wheel arches, where products are needed that are highly resistant to mechanical wear, including hidden, hard-to-reach cavities . There is, for example, anti-gravel, which can be applied to plastic parts and then painted with paint. All of them will significantly extend the life of your car body. Liqui Moly supplies equipment for applying anticorrosive agents - these are various pneumatic guns that allow you to spray products into the most inaccessible places.

1.5 Autocosmetics

Autocosmetics is a necessary and very useful thing when caring for a car. It protects metal and paint from corrosion and harmful influences, and helps to keep the car in excellent condition. With car cosmetics, you can wash, polish the car body, clean its internal parts.

Car shampoos reliably protect car paintwork from rain, salt, tar, tar, poplar buds, traces of birds and insects. With their help, you can make your car shine with brilliance. Among the manufacturers of car shampoos, the United Kingdom and the United States of America stand out.

The polish helps simultaneously with polishing to remove a layer of oxides, traces of kidneys, insects, oil films from the surface. After using the polish, a powerful protective layer remains on the body, giving the surface a radiant sheen. Today this position of autochemistry is developed especially diversified.

There is a wide variety of polishes:

Polish together with paint restorer: in such preparations the properties of paint restorer and polish are combined. The polish protects against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation;

Protective polishes include Teflon, urethane and other synthetic additives in their composition. When processing a surface with a top layer of paintwork, a polymerization reaction occurs. The result is a protective coating that is resistant to environmental influences, reduces pollution and facilitates washing the machine;

Polishing pastes are polishes with a thick consistency that allow you to apply a thicker layer. This type of polish is ideal for treating old surfaces. Several types of pastes are offered: color-enriched, protective, wax.

Engine cleaners are divided into foam, which are subject to subsequent treatment with water, and sprays for cleaning engine compartment elements. They are good at dissolving stubborn dirt deposits.

Cleaners are divided into: surface cleaners from insects and resins; glass cleaners; wheel cleaners; anti-rain; cleaners and polishes for black plastic and vinyl; chrome cleaners and polishes.

One of the most significant components of the autocosmetics market is occupied by paints and varnishes. Automotive paints are a class of paints and varnishes designed to protect a car from damaging environmental factors, to carry out repairs. The composition of automotive paints is quite complex, but there are only three main components: a pigment, a binder polymer, and a solvent.

As the name implies, a pigment is a component whose main function is to form a certain color of the painted surface. At the same time, in modern car paints, the pigment necessarily performs one or more secondary functions - protection of metal and plastics from corrosion and mechanical damage, formation of the required surface adhesion, surface tension and viscosity of the paint formulation itself, influence on the roughness factor. A two-component paint protection system removes dirt from paint microcracks and forms an activated chemical layer on it. When re-applied to the surface, it flows into the pores and microcracks of the paintwork and forms a protective film. Rust converters are designed to remove rust stains and prepare the treated surface for touch-up.

For cosmetic repair of scratches and small chips, repair pencils are used. To improve the quality, it is desirable to apply protective polishing over the applied pencil. After a certain time, the places treated with a wax pencil need to be updated. For touching up chips, repair bottles with acrylic paint or instant air-drying varnish are well suited. With the help of a small brush inserted into the lid of the bottle, it is convenient to handle small chips and scratches. Before applying paint or varnish, the surface is washed, if necessary, traces of corrosion are removed from it, and degreasing is carried out. Paint is selected by number, which must match the standard numbering of colors.

An important role in the production of car cosmetics is played by Rosneftekhim OJSC, the AGA company (its assortment includes more than 35,000 items), the Pingo-Erzeignisse company, which produces high-quality car care products, and the GRASS company.

Today, GRASS products are presented for a wide range of applications and include: shampoos for contactless and manual washing, engine compartment and engine cleaners, plastic polishes, interior cleaners, rubber blackeners, insect removers, glass cleaners.

Another one hit the market today new company CJSC "CHEMGROUP CENTER", which started producing chemicals in the city of Tula, which in itself is not surprising, given that there are cities in the region where there is a great potential for chemists, such as Novomoskovsk and Shchekino.

3. The state of supply and demand in the domestic market

Do not forget that the number of cars is growing rapidly, and, consequently, there is a growing need for good professional auto chemical products that work effectively: service, repair and care.

Today, the auto chemical goods market has a large number of oils that have the latest approvals from car manufacturers and international specifications, additives, paints and varnishes, brake fluids and car cosmetics. They are produced in various packaging, of any kind, are present in any price range, in general, the choice is very wide for both the average buyer and a large service.

So, for example, today the Russian market of additives is developing extremely rapidly. Two years ago, only 4-5 manufacturing companies were present in this area, today there are more than ten of them. The ever-increasing demand for these products in Russia has not yet reached its peak.

If the stable economic situation in the country continues, the demand for auto chemical goods will continue to grow. A high level of demand allows companies selling auto chemical goods to increasingly actively include new products in the range offered.

However, today the state of the economy in the country is "somewhat" uncertain and it is not entirely clear how it will affect this market; most likely, preference will be given to a lower price for products.

We will see and analyze this situation in the following news.
