UV-Cured Resins: Technologies and Global MarketsLONDON, April 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- This BCC Research report is an impact analysis of the UV cured resins market. It includes factors currently driving and restraining the growth of the market, as well as factors impacting the future of the industry. Forecast given for the period 2015-2020. In recent years, UV curing or UV cured resins have gained popularity among industrial customers. Companies such as Allnex Belgium SA, Dymax Corp. and Three Bond Chemical Industry have introduced innovative UV cured resins products. UV cured resins use UV light as a source of polymerization energy, which enables the resin to be converted into solventless, one part and fast-curing. With the help of UV curing, resins overcome the physical and chemical drawbacks of conventional resins, including poor curing speed, low elasticity/elongation and volatile low-temperature properties. Flexibility and scalability of usage, however, have fueled the application-specific demand of UV cured resins. It is expected that demand drivers will push the market growth for UV cured resin during the forecast period. Remarkable advancements in the field of chemical engineering and material technology, however, have created scope for manufacturers to invent materials that are impermeable to ultraviolet light. In due course, application limitations of UV cured resins have influenced research institutes and manufacturers to use active energy rays for polymerization of resins rather than ultraviolet light. Outmoded curing resins can be considered as potential substitutes for UV cured resin. UV cured resins can be synthesized from different types of acrylates. Hitachi Chemical Company Ltd. develops UV curing resins from urethane acrylates, epoxy acrylates and acrylic acrylates. Characteristics of UV cured resins vary significantly based on properties of monomer and building blocks. Urethane acrylate UV cured resin offers benefits such as flexibility and adhesion, whereas epoxy acrylate UV cured resin offers benefits such as rigidity, high refractive index and heat resistance. Acrylic acrylate UV cured resin offers benefits such as transparency and low warpage. Major applications for UV cured resins are coatings, adhesives, masking materials, inks and precoated gaskets. Dentists and dental clinics use UV cured resins as adhesives. In industrial settings, UV cured resins are used as sealants for cracks and leaks. UV cured resins are also used as masking materials in the packaging industry. UV coatings are commercially used in the form of substrates such as vinyl composition tile and wood coatings. UV cured resins are expected to penetrate the mainstream market within the next 5 years due to their increasing applications across different industry verticals. Popularity of this market is expected to grow in the coming years with further product innovation in different application-specific areas .
