Acrylic resin has a wide range of applications, and environmental protection and high-end development are its important development directions.

Acrylic resin is a polymer compound polymerized by methyl methacrylate. It appears as an off-white or white powder or strip. Acrylic resin is divided into two categories: thermosetting acrylic resin and thermoplastic acrylic resin. As the basic material of coating films, acrylic resin has a wide range of applications, involving automobiles, coatings, household appliances, machinery, construction, pharmaceutical preparations, instrumentation and other fields. .

Acrylic resin has the characteristics of good adhesion, bright color, and good toughness, and has a wide range of application scenarios. However, in certain environments, acrylic resin still has certain deficiencies in mechanical properties, hardness, corrosion resistance, etc. In order to optimize product performance and expand Its application scenarios have attracted increasing attention in the modified acrylic resin market. Common modification methods of acrylic resin include silicone modification, organic fluorine modification, epoxy modification, organic fluorosilicone modification, nanomaterial modification, polyurethane modification, etc.

According to the “2023-2027 Acrylic Resin Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report released by the Industrial Research Center, in 2021 , the global acrylic resin market size is approximately 12.9 billion yuan. my country is a major producer and consumer of acrylic resin and an important driving force for the growth of the global acrylic resin market. The market growth rate is higher than the global average. In 2021, the size of my country’s acrylic resin market will be approximately 3.6 billion yuan and is expected to grow to 6.2 billion yuan in 2027. Ten billion yuan.

In recent years, as environmental protection supervision has become increasingly strict, the development of the water-based acrylic resin market has accelerated. Globally, the main suppliers of water-based acrylic resin include BASF of Germany, Dow Chemical of the United States, Arkema of France, Mitsubishi of Japan, Evonik of Germany, etc. my country’s acrylic resin production companies include Guangdong Tianlong Group, Shanghai Huayi, Satellite Petrochemical, Jiangsu Jurong, Jiangsu Sanmu, Yangzi BASF, etc. Related companies are mainly distributed in East China and South China, with the two regions accounting for more than 76.5%.

my country’s water-based acrylic resin research started late, the core technology level is low, and there is a large gap between product quality and stability compared with foreign brands. Therefore, the demand for high-end water-based acrylic resin still relies on imports. In the context of increasing environmental protection requirements, the development of water-based acrylic resins with excellent performance, green environmental protection, and safe use is the market development trend. In the future, domestic enterprises will still need to increase investment in technology and process research and development to fill the market demand gap and accelerate the domestic production of high-end water-based acrylic resins. substitution process.

Commonly used synthesis techniques for acrylic resin include emulsion polymerization, suspension polymerization, bulk polymerization, and anionic polymerization. Industry analysts said that acrylic resin has a wide range of applications. Against the background of increasingly stringent environmental protection supervision, the development of the water-based acrylic resin market has accelerated. In the future With technological advancement and demand upgrading, the acrylic resin market will continue to develop in a multi-functional, environmentally friendly, and high-end direction.
