In late October 2012 epoxy resin industry development in suzhou on the BBS, focus on the development direction of key supporting industries epoxy resin curing agent and modification technology, spur of epoxy resin industry coordinated development, meet the needs of domestic epoxy resin industry leading capacity, the situation of insufficient as delegates to focus. Participants from epoxy resin application fields dig, lists the curing agent of six direction:

It is a functional curing agent. Due to the development of new structure and excellent performance of epoxy resin progress is not big, to meet the requirements for resin, curing agent with special functions will become a market darling, compared with the traditional curing agent, functional curing agent usually have fast curing, low temperature curing, toughening, flame retardant, such as the excellent performance.

2 it is low toxicity, non-toxic firming agent. Now the industry is not only focus on curing agent in the process of the production and use of toxicity and environmental pollution problems, and attaches great importance to the epoxy resin waste pollution problem for a long time, according to introducing, in developed countries, the bigger toxicity of polyene more glue, aromatic amines have been replaced by the non-toxic or low toxic modified amine.

3 it is able to adapt to the special environment of the curing agent. Such as in a damp, underwater, outdoor and other harsh environments performance keep good stable curing agent.

Fourth, electronic, mechanical properties, excellent mechanical properties of curing agent, will get great development.

Fifth, electron beam and light type of products are more and more attention.

Six is the popular as environmentally friendly products, powder coating, waterborne epoxy resin coatings special curing agent, curing agent and one-component adhesives broad prospects.

For curing agent of the six major development direction, the expert inside course of study also proposes to match specific modification technology, such as: fat amine modified, fragrant amine modified epoxy resin (especially m-phenylene diamine, between benzene dimethylamine modification), acid modified and liquid, the dicyandiamide modified and imidazole modification and liquid and liquid, etc.

China epoxy resin industry association secretary-general Yang Xian one think, the coordinated development of epoxy resin industry to accelerate the imminent, in accord with environmental protection under the premise of safety regulations and meet user requirements, continuously reduce costs, the seriation, specialty, form a complete set to change, the fine development is the long-term task of curing agent production enterprise. At the same time he suggested that, in order to accelerate the coordinated and healthy development of epoxy resin industry, epoxy resin, curing agent factory ought to partnership, promote each other, it is an effective way of the whole industry success.
