Six trends for the future development of the epoxy resin industry

At the recent development forum of the epoxy resin industry, the development direction and modification technology of the key supporting industry for epoxy resins were paid attention to, so as to promote the coordinated development of the epoxy resin industry and solve the situation of advanced production capacity and insufficient demand in the domestic epoxy resin industry. Be the focus of attendees. Participating experts dug deep into the field of epoxy resin application and listed six development directions of curing agents.

First, functional curing agents: As the development of epoxy resins with new structures and excellent performance has not progressed so much, so as to meet the requirements of resin modification, curing agents with special functions will become the market darlings. Compared with traditional curing agents, functional curing agents usually have excellent properties such as fast curing, low temperature curing, toughening, and flame retardancy.

The second is a low-toxicity, non-toxic curing agent. At present, the industry not only pays attention to the problems of toxicity and environmental pollution during the production and use of curing agents, but also pays attention to the long-term pollution of waste epoxy resin products.

The third is a curing agent that can adapt to special environments. For example, the curing agent maintains good and stable performance in harsh environments such as humidity, underwater, and outdoor.

Fourth, curing agents with excellent electrical, mechanical and mechanical properties will be greatly developed.

Fifth, electron beam and photo-curable products are attracting more and more attention.

Sixth, there are bright prospects for powder coatings, water-based epoxy resin coating-specific curing agents and one-component adhesive curing agents.
