Reactive Diluents Market by Type, Application

List of Tables

The Reactive Diluents Market was valued at USD 1.23 billion in 2023, expected to reach USD 1.32 billion in 2024, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.56%, to USD 2.05 billion by 2030.

Reactive diluents are a class of additives used to modify the properties of high-viscosity resin materials, making them easier to process and apply. Their primary function is to decrease the viscosity of epoxy and other resins without reducing the performance characteristics of the cured materials. The necessity of reactive diluents arises from the demand for more efficient application processes and enhanced performance in sectors like automotive, aerospace, marine, electronics, and construction. They are crucial in applications requiring ease of handling, improved adhesion, and enhanced mechanical properties. The end-use scope is vast, extending into coatings, adhesives, sealants, and composites, wherein they provide flexibility, durability, and improved stress resistance.
