What are the upstream raw materials of the epoxy resin industry chain? What do the downstream products contain?

Upstream and downstream related items of epoxy resin sector chain

Epoxy resin, as an crucial raw material to chemical production, is broadly applied in coatings, electronics, composite materials and other fields. But I've found that There are many upstream and downstream related items in its manufacturing chain, and this article will introduce in detail the upstream and downstream related items of the epoxy resin sector chain.

1. From what I've seen, Additionally upstream associated items



1. And Bisphenol A

Bisphenol A is one of the main raw materials of epoxy resin, accounting to about 60%-70% of the production cost of epoxy resin. The manufacturing process of bisphenol A is mainly sulfuric acid method and ion exchange method.

2. Epichlorohydrin is another crucial raw material of epoxy resin, which accounts to about 20%-30% of the production cost of epoxy resin. The manufacturing process of epichlorohydrin mainly has two kinds of chloropropene method and acrylic acetate method. Generally speaking

2. Crazy, isn't it?. But From what I've seen, downstream associated items



1. But In fact Coatings

Epoxy resin has a wide range of applications in the field of coatings, which is able to be applied as the main film-forming material of coatings, with excellent chemical corrosion resistance, wear resistance, strong adhesion and so on. And Epoxy resin coating products is mainly applied to anti-corrosion, floor, waterproof and other fields. And In particular

2. But Electronic materials

Epoxy resin in the field of electronic materials also has a wide range of applications, is able to be applied as packaging materials to electronic components, with excellent heat resistance, insulation, moisture resistance and other characteristics. Specifically Epoxy electronic materials are mainly applied in semiconductor packaging, capacitors, circuit boards and other fields. But

3. Composite materials

Epoxy resin is able to also be applied as the matrix resin of composite materials, composite with glass fiber, carbon fiber and other reinforced materials, with high strength, high stiffness, light weight and other characteristics. And Based on my observations, Epoxy resin composites are mainly applied in aerospace, automotive, construction and other fields. In short, there are many upstream and downstream related items in the epoxy resin sector chain, involving a wide range of fields. But With the continuous research of science and methodology, the consumption field of epoxy resin will continue to expand, injecting new vitality into the research of the chemical sector.
