Non-explosive demolition agents are chemicals utilized as alternatives to explosives and gas pressure blasting equipment in demolition, mining, and quarrying activities. To use these agents for demolition or quarrying, holes must be drilled into the base rock, similar to the process for traditional explosives. The non-explosive demolition agent is mixed with water to create a slurry, which is then poured into the drill holes. Over the next few hours, as the slurry expands, the rock fractures in a manner similar to that caused by conventional explosives. One of the significant advantages of non-explosive demolition agents is that they operate silently and without causing vibrations, unlike traditional explosives. However, conventional explosives can be more cost-effective in certain situations. Additionally, non-explosive demolition agents are more readily available as they are not subject to the stringent regulations that govern explosives. The primary component of these agents is calcium oxide, also known as "burnt lime," which is typically mixed with a small amount of Portland cement and occasionally other modifiers. While these agents are much safer than explosives, they must be used precisely according to instructions to prevent steam explosions within the first few hours of application.

Hydraulic non-explosive demolition agents offer a quiet, vibration-free, and debris-free alternative to traditional demolition methods involving explosives or mechanical breaking equipment. These agents operate through expanding stress induced by hydration processes to gradually and silently dismantle rock or concrete. This allows for the safe demolition of reinforced concrete and rocks without environmental harm. The continuous expanding tension exerted by the hydraulic non-explosive demolition agents ensures the widening of cracks over time, enhancing their appeal and boosting market demand.

However, an important environmental concern associated with hydraulic non-explosive demolition agents used in mining and construction operations is vibration. This vibration can damage nearby structures and buildings. For instance, ground vibrations impact nearby homes through basements and foundations, while airwaves penetrate buildings via walls and roofs. Even vibrations below the threshold for structural damage can be felt by people, causing discomfort. Vibration-induced damage is evaluated based on the vibration's frequency, magnitude, duration, and the type of exposed building. Damage levels range from none to significant, determined by peak particle velocity. Many countries have established upper limits on permissible vibration levels during blasting due to these associated risks.

The construction industry, a USD 11 trillion global business, has been significantly disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially a China-specific issue, the pandemic has affected international supply chains and construction markets worldwide. The ongoing pandemic has presented numerous challenges to the construction sector and the broader economy. The nature and extent of these challenges depend on the global crisis's duration, the recession's length, and the recovery trajectory. In 2020, the construction sector was performing well with increased activity across various industries. However, the surge in COVID-19 cases led to the suspension of new building permits, significantly impacting market growth for hydraulic non-explosive demolition agents, even though many ongoing projects deemed essential by government authorities were not canceled.

KEY MARKET INSIGHTS:
