Transparency Market Research has announced the addition of the Epoxy Curing Agents Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2017 – 2025 report to their offering.

Albany, NY -- (SBWire) -- 11/25/2017 --Curing agents (hardeners) are a type of chemical additives added to base resins to toughen or harden them. Epoxy curing agents contain epoxide functional group. The choice of epoxy curing agents depends on the base resin as well as the required degree of toughness. Each epoxy curing agent has its own set of characteristics that defines the degree of curing and time. Commonly used epoxy curing agents are based on aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, polyamide, mercaptan, amidoamine, and others. Epoxy curing agents are commonly utilized in metal coatings, concrete coatings, adhesives, and composite applications. These agents are majorly employed as primers for protective coatings. Rising demand for epoxy curing agents in the construction and automotive industries is likely to drive the global epoxy curing agents market in the next few years.

Epoxy curing agents are primarily used for coating purposes. Furthermore, composites and adhesives applications are the potential segments where epoxy curing agents can be utilized. Epoxy curing agents of mercaptan blends offer superior applications in various markets such as construction, protective coatings, civil engineering, adhesives, automotive adhesives, and car body repair. Polyamidoamide is an epoxy curing agent, and it provides excellent adhesion on difficult-to-wet and humid substrates. Therefore, it is used as structural adhesive, primer on concrete, and pigmented anticorrosion coating on steel. Epoxy curing agents such as aliphatic and cycloaliphatic offer good flexibility, therefore they are suitable for casting resins, coatings, and embedding compound. Tertiary amines are employed to catalyze epoxy systems. Furthermore, aliphatic and cycloaliphatic epoxy curing agents provide tack-free surface and are suitable for crack bridging applications. Thus, epoxy curing agents are increasingly used in end-user industries such as automotive coatings and wood coatings across the globe.
