epoxy resins, most of which are made
from bisphenol A (BPA), are essential
to modern
life, public health, efficient
manufacturing, and food safety. They
are used in a wide
array of consumer and industrial
applications because of their
toughness, strong
adhesion, chemical resistance, and
other specialized properties. Used in
products we
rely on every day, epoxy resins are
found in cars, boats, and planes, and
as components
in fiber optics and electrical circuit
boards. Epoxy linings create a
protective barrier in
metal containers to prevent canned
foods from becoming spoiled or
contaminated with
bacteria or rust. Wind turbines,
surfboards, composite materials
holding up your house,
even the frets on a guitar — all benefit
from the durability of epoxies.

We have seen tinted PC

used for the purposes of
reducing glare (for example
to cover lighted signs on
the highway). Companies
that manufacture this type
of product often put tinted
Polycarbonate on the front
of their signs to both protect
the LEDs and to reduce
glare.

Global cumene market was valued at

USD 18,881.5 million in 2016 and is
expected to be valued at USD 28,219.1
million by 2025 growing at an
estimated CAGR of 4.6% over the next
eight years.
 In pharmaceuticals, phenol act as an
antiseptic and disinfectant which is
utilized against the variety of
microorganism including fungi and
virus and been used to disinfect skin,
which in turn is expected to fuel the
market growth.

Phenol plays a major role in our

everyday lives. Plywood, window
glazing, DVDs and CDs,
computers, sports equipment, fibre
glass boats, automotive parts and
accessories, circuit boards and flat
panel televisions are some of the
many items that rely on this
important raw material.

Acetone is one of the most widely

used solvents in the world due to is
combination of high solvency and a
high rate of evaporation. It can be
found in many everyday products
including paints, cleaning fluids, nail
polish remover, and adhesives.

Global market
 The ethylbenzene market is
estimated to witness a strong
growth during the forecast
period (2018-2023).
https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180524006476/en/Gl
Asia-Pacific is projected to
continue dominating the
market, followed by North
America and Europe. Asia-
Pacific is also expected to
register the highest growth
during the period. The growing
demand for ethylbenzene
derived resins, polymers, and
elastomers from end-user
industries, such as
construction, packaging,
electronics, etc., is likely to
drive the demand for
ethylbenzene in the region.
Ethylbenzene finds wide
application as solvent and
reagent in producing various
products, such as paints &
coatings, dyes, varnishes,
lacquers, adhesives, rust
prevention spray,
pharmaceuticals, cleaning
materials, dyes, inks,
perfumes, synthetic rubber,
plastics, and pesticides. The
increasing construction
activities, particularly in Asia-
Pacific, the rising automotive
production, driven by
increasing demand for SUV’s
and electric vehicles, and the
growth in pharmaceutical
industry is driving the
ethylbenzene demand for
application as a solvent and
reagents in producing paints &
coatings, varnishes, adhesives,
rust prevention sprays, etc.,
used in these industries.

Ethylbenzene is majorly used for the production of styrene, w
