What is Epoxy Resin Market?
Epoxy resins are a common type of reactive prepolymer containing epoxide groups. It is commonly used as an adhesive for structural applications due to its strong properties. Growing demand for flexible composites and adhesives for bonding where elasticity and pliability are required. Epoxies are also becoming more popular for flooring applications in supermarkets and grocery stores for a smooth surface and better appearance. Epoxies are also used for the decoration of handicrafts and for making epoxy-based decorative artifacts that will accelerate the growth of the epoxy resin market in the nearer future.
