Alicyclic epoxy resin has excellent performance and its application scope continues to expand.

Alicyclic epoxy resin is an epoxidized olefin compound, which refers to a low molecular compound containing two alicyclic epoxy groups. Compared with bisphenol A-type epoxy resin, alicyclic epoxy resin has the advantages of low viscosity, excellent electrical insulation properties, good thermal stability, good weather resistance, and high tensile strength. It is widely used in coatings, composite materials, adhesives, 3D It is widely used in printing, insulation materials, LED packaging and many other fields.

There are many methods for preparing alicyclic epoxy resin, including hydrogen peroxide method, separation epoxidation method, in-situ epoxidation method, aldehyde oxidation method, etc. The aldehyde oxidation method refers to using acetaldehyde as the raw material, oxidizing it to obtain peracetic acid, and then performing a reduction reaction to obtain an alicyclic epoxy resin. It can be subdivided into gas phase oxidation method, liquid phase method, and acetaldehyde monoperoxyacetic acid. There are three types of ester methods. The aldehyde oxidation method has the advantages of low production cost, simple production process, and easy availability of raw materials, and is the mainstream preparation method for alicyclic epoxy resin.

According to the “2023-2028 China Alicyclic Epoxy Resin Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center 》 shows that cycloaliphatic epoxy resin has excellent performance and has a wide range of applications. In the field of coatings, alicyclic epoxy resins can be used to produce light-cured coatings and metal decorative coatings. They have the advantages of good color retention, alkali resistance, and heat resistance; in the field of 3D printing, alicyclic epoxy resins It has the advantages of high photosensitivity, low swelling, low viscosity, and fast curing, and can be used to replicate three-dimensional organs, develop molds, etc.; in the field of LED packaging, alicyclic epoxy resin has the advantages of good weather resistance and good mechanical properties, making it ideal LED packaging materials.

With the deepening of research, the application scope of alicyclic epoxy resin has been further expanded. Photoresist is an emerging application field of alicyclic epoxy resin. The alicyclic epoxy resin independently developed by Jiangsu Tetel can be used as ArF photolithography collagen material and has broad applications in electronic and electrical fields such as semiconductor discrete devices and integrated circuits. prospect.

Alicyclic epoxy resin achieved industrial production in the 1960s, with Japanese Daicel Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (DAICEL), Swiss Ciba Chemical Company (Ciba), American Hexion, American Emerald Company, and the United States Huntsman and Thailand’s Aditya Birla are world-renowned manufacturers of alicyclic epoxy resins. my country’s alicyclic epoxy resin industry started late, but is developing rapidly. Nantong Xinaxi, Jiangsu Teter, Wuxi Acoli, etc. are the main manufacturers in my country.

Industry analysts said that as a segmented product of epoxy resin, alicyclic epoxy resin has excellent performance and is widely used in coatings and 3D printing. It has broad application prospects in many fields. In the future, with the in-depth research and technological advancement of local enterprises, the application scope of alicyclic epoxy resin will be further expanded, and its market size will be expanded by then.
