NEW YORK, March 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global curing agents market is expected to witness a CAGR of 8.06% to reach USD 6.1 billion by 2024. Increasing demand for epoxy curing agents from the construction industry is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. Moreover, increasing demand from emerging economies is anticipated to foster the demand for curing agents in the coming years.
Curing agents are used to harden a material or its surface by facilitating the bonding of molecular components of that material. Curing agents react with surfaces, act as catalyst in the hardening process, and are also used as initiator agents. Curing agents are key in deciding the final properties of the cured products, and are employed accordingly. Perpetual demand from end-use industries is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.
Epoxy segment held the largest share of the market in 2017
Epoxy curing agents are used in inks, adhesives, roadmaking, industrial paints, coatings, creating modified plastics, construction materials, among others. Properties possessed by the epoxy cured products are imparted by the wide range of epoxy curing agents (simple or modified) used, for instance, incorporation of water based systems allow for lower VOC levels and improved environmental options. With the variety of available epoxy curing agents, users can control curing time, adhesive properties, resistance towards chemicals, permeability, UV resistance, among others. These customizations are preferred by end-user industries, and has given impetus to the market over the past years.
