Epoxy Resin Global Market Report 2024

Epoxy resin is a reactive polymer and prepolymer containing epoxide groups. In the presence of catalysts, these resins react with each other or with co-reactants such as amines, phenols, and thiols. They are used to enhance strength, durability, chemical resistance, and adhesion in various applications.

The primary applications of epoxides include paints and coatings, composites, adhesives and sealants, as well as various other applications. Paints and coatings are extensively utilized in commercial and industrial structures, such as in electrical, automotive, and marine settings, owing to their mechanical and protective properties. They contribute to enhancing concrete floors and provide resistance to stains, cracks, and high temperatures. In the realm of paints and coatings, the process involves the use of polymer suspensions mixed with color pigments to achieve both an aesthetic appearance and surface safety. These materials are available in different physical forms, including liquid, solid, and solution. Various types of epoxides, such as DGBEA (bisphenol A and ECH), DGBEF (bisphenol F and ECH), Novolac (formaldehyde and phenols), Aliphatic (aliphatic alcohols), Glycidylamine (aromatic amines and ECH), and other types, find application in this sector. Epoxides are utilized across diverse end-users, including building and construction, automotive, large and heavy vehicles, railroads, general industrial applications, consumer goods (including sporting equipment), wind power, aerospace, marine industries, and various other end uses.
