The strategic partnership with BASF signifies growth for Univar Solutions, and reinforces the value of strategic collaborations in the chemical industry.
This month’s Formulating with Mike column continues the discussion on resins, with a focus on epoxy curing agents. When it comes to great adhesion, chemical resistance, and corrosion resistance, an epoxy is hard to beat. There are different epoxy curing agents, and each one provides different properties that can be suited for a wide variety of end-use applications.
Sustainability dominated every conversation at the 2023 European Coatings Show. Learn about some of the innovative technologies that were introduced to help the industry formulate, manufacture, and apply the coatings of tomorrow.
According to FMI, the global epoxy curing agents market is expected to witness a CAGR of around 5.2% during the forecast period from 2022-2032. The global market is currently valued at around $3.11 billion in 2022, and is anticipated to reach a high of about $5.16 billion by the year 2032. According to FMI's historic analysis, the global epoxy curing agents market grew at a CAGR of 4.9%.
The report on the curing agent market provides a holistic analysis, market size and forecast, trends, growth drivers, and challenges, as well as vendor analysis.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved of the use of ASTM D-7767-11, the test method developed by RadTech members for UV/EB thin films.
This new technology allows the chemist the freedom to better tailor the formulation to the needs of the final application while optimizing the time, cost and performance achieved with various production methods of irradiation curing.
These epoxy curing agents can achieve zero-VOC floor coatings, excellent adhesion to poorly prepared concrete, good water resistance and fast return-to-service.
