<strong>Phenoxy</strong> <strong>Resins</strong> <strong>Market</strong> – Size, Share, Outlook, and<br />
Opportunity Analysis, 2018 – 2025<br />
<strong>Phenoxy</strong> resins are amorphous thermoplastic polymers and thermosetting resins.<br />
These polymers have terminal hydroxyl groups as well as hydroxyl groups in every<br />
repeat unit and thus can be classified as polyhydroxyethers. They are derived from<br />
Bisphenol A and Epichlorohydrin. <strong>Phenoxy</strong> resins offer excellent mechanical<br />
properties such as hardness, tough flexibility, abrasion resistance, impact resistance,<br />
chemical resistance, heat resistance, vapor barrier and compatibility. They are<br />
soluble in a variety of materials including ketones, glycol ethers, and esters. They<br />
have excellent vapor barrier properties and are safe to use for direct and indirect<br />
food and beverage container coatings. They are cured by reactions with<br />
polyisocyanates, anhydrides or other crosslinking agents. In general phenoxy resins<br />
are transparent with good dimensional stability.<br />

Structurally, phenoxy resin is a polyhydroxyether with terminal alpha-glycol groups.<br />
Their weight-average molecular weight ranges from approximately 25,000 to above<br />
60,000 and the highest polymeric species exceed 250,000 daltons in molecular<br />
weight.<br />
Waterborne phenoxy resins are colloidal dispersions. <strong>Phenoxy</strong> resins favor polar,<br />
aprotic-type solvents in solvent-borne applications, although incorporation into<br />
formulations having hydrocarbon or aromatic solvents is quite possible when<br />
sufficient polar solvents are used. They are availabe in solid and liquid forms in<br />
combinations with other polymers. For instance, Inchem Corporation’s product range<br />
includes over two dozen forms of phenoxy resins and related compounds including,<br />
standard solid grades in pellet and powder form, solvent solution grades and<br />
waterborne colloidal dispersions, <strong>Phenoxy</strong>-polyester hybrids epoxy-phenoxy hybrids,<br />
caprolactone-modified phenoxy, epoxy resin solutions, and crosslinkers. <strong>Phenoxy</strong><br />
resins are often combined with epoxies, polyethers, and polyesters and provide<br />
user-friendly hybrids for formulation latitude and novel properties.<br />
Standard solid grade phenoxy resins are used for wire coatings, PCB coatings, can<br />
and coil coating, metal primers, wood coating, glass coating. Compatibilizers,<br />
structural adhesives, kitchen cabinets, cast elastomers also uses phenoxy resins.<br />
<strong>Phenoxy</strong> resins are used or protective coatings in flexible and rigid food packaging.
<strong>Market</strong> Dynamics<br />
Increasing demand for phenoxy resin from end-use industries is major factor driving<br />
growth of the global phenoxy resins market, owing to compatibility of phenoxy resin<br />
with several polymers. Moreover, these resins are efficient flexibilizers for<br />
cross-linked phenolic and epoxy formulations used in adhesives, coatings, and<br />
composites. Composite industry is rising due to end use applications and is used in<br />
automotive and electronics sector. According to Federation of Reinforced Plastics,<br />
compared to 2015, a growth of 8.76% was observed in 2016 in global demand for<br />
carbon fiber composites.<br />
However, the volatility in raw material prices is a major factor restraining growth of<br />
the global phenoxy resins market. Prices of raw materials of phenoxy resins i.e.<br />
Bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin fluctuate due to supply and demand imbalance.<br />
<strong>Market</strong> Outlook<br />
According to the Coherent <strong>Market</strong> Insights’ analysis, Asia Pacific held dominant<br />
position in the market in 2017 and is projected to maintain its dominance throughout<br />
the forecast period. This is owing to increasing demand for adhesives and coatings<br />
in automotive and electronics industry. Moreover, phenoxy resin products are widely<br />
used as modifiers to other chemistries and utility as the sole resinous vehicles in<br />
coatings, adhesives, and others. According to American Coatings Association,<br />
automotive refinish coatings is the largest sub-segment of special purpose coatings,<br />
with a value of $2 billion in 2014.<br />
Among applications, the coatings segment is projected to gain major traction over<br />
the forecast period, owing to increasing application of coating in marine, metal, and<br />
automotive industry. According to American Coatings Association, marine paints,<br />
including both original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and refinish applications, had<br />
a value of $400 million in 2014.<br />
