Ultraviolet (UV) Curable Resins Market Will Hit Big Revenue in Future by Size, Share, Growth and Top Manufacturers Analysis
UV curable resins are thought to be one of
the most rapidly growing technologies in the graphic arts, coatings, adhesives,
and other related industries. UV cured coatings are now used by a variety of
end-use product manufacturers to achieve customer satisfaction and
environmental compliance. UV curing technology outperforms in terms of chemical
resistance and physical properties. The latest trend in the UV curable resins
market is the development of new and improved photoinitiators. To improve their
performance, conventional photoinitiators incorporate enhancements such as a
wider photosensitive wavelength band and better photoinitiator solubility.
One
of the major drivers of the global Ultraviolet
(UV) curable resins market is the increased use of
environmentally friendly industrial coatings. Furthermore, a surge in demand
for UV curable inks in packaging applications is expected to drive market
growth. The limited light penetration depth of UV curable resins, on the other
hand, is expected to stymie market growth.
The wavelength and spectral distribution
determine light penetration depth, which usually does not exceed a few
millimeters in the case of UV curable resins. As a result, the application of
UV curable resins is limited to inks, coatings, and adhesives, limiting the market
growth.
The global Ultraviolet (UV) curable resins market,
on the other hand, has yet to reach its full potential. The increased use of
UV-curable resins in 3D printing, barrier films, and digital printing,
packaging, and printed circuit boards is expected to provide the market with
lucrative growth opportunities. The fastest-growing segment is expected to be
acrylate urethanes. The reason for this is that UV curable acrylate urethanes
have excellent all-around performance properties on a variety of substrates.
Depending on the prepolymer used, these resins have well to excellent film
hardness, elasticity, and cure speed. Because of their
superior durability and flexibility, they are widely used in resilient floor
coatings and as coatings for flexible packaging.
Hitachi
Chemical, BASF SE, DSM-AGI, Jiangsu Litian Technology, Allnex Belgium S.A.,
Sartomer, IGM, Eternal Materials, Dymax, Miwon Specialty Chemical, and Jiangsu
Sanmu Group are the key players in the UV curable resin market. To remain
competitive in the industry, these market participants are implementing various
strategies such as product launch, acquisition, merger, business expansion, and
so on. For example, in December 2016, BASF SE announced the addition of five
new standard epoxy acrylates from the Laromer EA product family to its UV
resins portfolio for radiation-curable coatings and printing inks.
