The production capacity of epoxy reactive diluents is growing steadily. In the future, the industry will need to continue to upgrade in the direction of high-end

Epoxy reactive diluent refers to a class of multifunctional compounds containing epoxy groups. Epoxy reactive diluent has the characteristics of low viscosity, environmental protection, good mechanical properties, good flexibility, strong reactivity, and good corrosion resistance. It can be used as an organic synthesis intermediate or industrial additive, and is used in construction, automobiles, and coatings. , papermaking, textiles, electronics, daily chemicals, adhesives, aerospace and other fields.

There are many types of epoxy reactive diluents commonly used on the market. According to the number of reactive groups contained in the molecule, epoxy reactive diluents can be divided into monofunctional reactive diluents and multifunctional reactive diluents; according to different curing mechanisms, It can be divided into free radical reactive diluents and cationic reactive diluents.

Since its industrialization, the global epoxy reactive diluent research and development track has continued to be hot, with its product types increasing and its application areas expanding. The current total output value of the global epoxy reactive diluent industry shows a continuous growth trend. In 2022, the total global output value of epoxy reactive diluents will reach US$920 million. The leading foreign epoxy reactive diluent companies include Huntsman of the United States, Aditya Birla of Thailand, RPP of the United States, Leuna Harze of Germany, Evonik of Germany, Japan ADEKA etc.

Compared with developed countries, my country’s epoxy reactive diluent industry started late. However, in recent years, driven by the rapid development of domestic automobiles, electronics, construction, coatings and other fields, the domestic market demand for epoxy reactive diluents has continued to increase. In order to meet the growing market demand, local companies represented by Xinyuan Technology and Green Home continue to break through key technologies and increase product innovation, leading to a gradual increase in domestic epoxy reactive diluent categories and continuous improvement in product quality. Currently, local companies It has occupied a dominant position in the domestic market and has a high level of localization.

At present, my country has become one of the major producing countries of epoxy reactive diluents in the world. According to the“Market Depth of China’s Epoxy Reactive Diluent Industry in 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center “Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report” shows that domestic production of epoxy reactive diluents has reached 86,000 tons in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 4.6%. At the same time, driven by the rapid development of domestic high-tech industries such as wind power and glass fiber, the application fields of epoxy reactive diluents are continuously expanding, and the industry maintains a rapid growth trend. In the future, it is expected to continue to upgrade in the direction of high-end, customization, and compounding.
