market will experience a surge in demand in the near future.
ECH is mainly used as a raw material in the manufacture of epoxy resins which finds
extensive application in various industries such as paints, electrical & electronics,
construction and wind turbines. The rapid growth of these end-user industries will drive
the overall growth of ECH industry.
Generally, the ECH production process uses propylene as major raw material. Due to
industry trends which are favoring the use bio-based products, ECH manufacturers are
shifting towards the usage of glycerin-based ECH. Several companies such as U.S-based
Dow Chemical Company, Belgium's Solvay SA, South Korea headquartered Samsung Fine
Chemical, and many Chinese companies have already started using renewable feedstock
glycerin to produce ECH.
