The market demand for triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC) is growing, and TGIC curing agent is its end product.

Triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC), also known as triglycidyl isocyanurate, is a heterocyclic polyepoxide compound with the molecular formula C12H15N3O6. TGIC has a white crystal appearance and is corrosion-resistant, high-temperature resistant, chemical-resistant, and light-resistant. It can be used as a curing agent, plastic stabilizer, and adhesive, and is widely used in coatings, engineering plastics, electronics, and other fields. According to different uses, TGIC can be divided into two types: industrial grade TGIC and electronic grade TGIC.

The main synthesis methods of TGIC include epoxidation method, one-step method, two-step method, SaPSeP method, etc. The epoxidation method uses tripropyl isocyanurate as the main raw material, has high production costs, and has been gradually eliminated by the market; the one-step method has low yield of finished products and high consumption of raw materials, and is not suitable for large-scale production; two The step method requires the raw material cyanuric acid to be converted into isocyanuric acid first, and then the finished product is obtained through a cyclization reaction. This method is the mainstream synthesis method of TGIC and is widely used in industrial production.

According to the “2023-2028 China Triglycidyl Isocyanurate (TGIC) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center 》shows that TGIC has a wide range of application fields, including coatings, engineering plastics, electronics and electrical, etc. In the field of coatings, TGIC has the advantages of good thermal stability and good weather resistance, and can be used as a curing agent for pure polyester powder coatings; in the field of engineering plastics, TGIC can be used as a plastic stabilizer; in the field of electronics and electrical, TGIC can be used In the production of electrical insulation materials and printed circuit boards, etc. Driven by application demand, my country’s TGIC market demand will further grow.

TGIC curing agent is a TGIC terminal product and is the most commonly used curing agent for powder coatings. In recent years, under the background of environmental protection, my country’s TGIC curing agent production process has been continuously optimized, driving the market share of low-irritation TGIC curing agents to continue to increase. In the future, as the prosperity of the TGIC curing agent industry increases, my country’s TGIC market space will be further expanded.

There are many TGIC manufacturers in my country, mainly including Changzhou Niutang Chemical Factory Co., Ltd., Anhui Shenjian New Materials Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Guanghua Technology Co., Ltd., Huangshan Huahui Technology Co., Ltd., Wuyang Qida Industrial Co., Ltd., and Taizhou Hongxing Chemical Industry Ltd. etc. Shenjian Co., Ltd. is my country’s leading TGIC company. The company’s main business includes TGIC curing agents, gloss enhancers, leveling agents, polyester resins, etc. According to the financial report of Shenjian Co., Ltd., the company achieved revenue of 1.87 billion yuan in the first three quarters of 2022, a year-on-year increase of 1.4%.

Industry analysts said that TGIC has the characteristics of corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, and is widely used in coatings, plastics and electronic and electrical fields. TGIC curing agent is a TGIC end product. Driven by market demand, TGIC curing agent is a commonly used powder coating curing agent, and the industry is gradually developing in a green, environmentally friendly and low-irritation direction. It is expected that in the future, as local companies continue to upgrade their technologies, the development speed of my country’s TGIC industry will further accelerate.
