Biobased Thermosetting Polymers Market

Biobased Thermosetting Polymers: Market Introduction

Biobased Thermosetting Polymers, also known as bio-based resins, are derived from renewable resources such as algae, bacteria, microorganisms, plants, etc. They can be synthesized either directly or through the synthesis of the monomers that must be followed by polymerization. Thermosetting polymers derived from natural resources will be highlighted for future generations with greater sustainability for different applications. Over the last two decades, biobased thermosetting polymer products have gained popularity due to the depletion of fossil reserves and the protection of the environment from carbon emissions. Thermosetting plastics are synthetic materials that strengthen when heated, but can not be remolded after initial heat formation. These plastics have different types of products, each having its own unique set of properties.

The advantages of biobased thermosetting polymers includes low price, universal availability, less dangerous, and, to a large extent, preferred to conventional materials in chemical companies, but they do not need to be biodegradable and should reach industrial performance. There is a strong request to maintain sustainability for bio-based polymers in the chemical sector. Organic epoxy resins are made from plant carbon rather than carbon-based on petroleum. Green chemical techniques used for bio-based epoxy resins are energy-efficient and produce less dangerous by-products, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions out of resin production by 50%. Moreover, biobased thermosetting polymers have relatively better structural property and are corrosion resistant. Stringent regulations for styrene emissions by ECHA are creating beneficial opportunities for the rise of biobased epoxy resins to be used in composites.

The demand for bio-packaging materials from biobased thermosetting polymers is expected to stimulate factors such as rising sales of green products and the need for sustainable production processes. In addition, this has increased consumer preference for environmentally friendly packaging and is leading to a shift of plastic manufacturers' interest in bio-resin products and thus drives the market. Fluctuations in the commodity price of bio-based epoxy resins are projected as an impediment to the growth during a forecast period of the biobased thermosetting polymers market.

Biobased thermosetting polymers find applications in the in adhesives, building industry as a sealant cover or on floor and building materials. It also finds its usage in the manufacturing industry; glass fiber products, such as marine crafts, rainwater tanks and electrical circuit boards etc.; adhesives & sealants and water-repelling etc. Thus, owing to the broad applications of biobased thermosetting polymers, the sales of biobased thermosetting polymer products is expected to increase over the forecast period, thereby leading to the growth of the global market.

Global Biobased Thermosetting Polymers Market is Experiencing massive decline as COVID-19 Outbreak
