Trends
Epoxy consumption follows the general trends in the market for composites, i.e. growth. The wind energy market was recently held back by the elimination of subsidies in China and the United States, but it is already starting to find growth potential in some emerging countries, headed by Brazil. The automotive sector will normally be consuming far greater quantities of composites, and even if thermoplastics appear to be more suitable for high production rates, epoxies could get by with the recently developed No77 December 2012

ultra-fast curing systems. The building & construction sector could also be a strong growth driver where the reinforcement of old constructions is concerned. In certain sections of New York’s metro system, some of the structures are being reinforced with carbon/ epoxy prepreg materials. Again in the United States, to take one example, the structural integrity of many road bridges is threatened by the ageing of mediocre concrete materials. Japan has also used these methods to consolidate some structures after earthquakes. n
