UV curing technology is a highly efficient, environment-friendly, energy-saving and high-quality material surface treatment technology. It can rapidly cure and color with thousands of times of the speed of traditional paint or ink, and form a layer of high-strength protective film.
UV curable products mainly appear in the form of UV curable coatings, UV curable inks, UV curable adhesives, photosensitive printing plates, photoresists, photo rapid prototyping materials, etc. At present, they are rapidly popularized to furniture coloring, automotive parts anti-corrosion, rapid repair and other fields.
The most outstanding advantage of UV curing products is rapid curing, especially when compared with traditional thermal curing process.
UV curing process is also more in line with the latest environmental requirements, so in the past few years, its demand has been growing rapidly.
Another important reason to promote the market growth of UV curing products is the growth of infrastructure construction demand of major developing countries and regions in the world.
2、 Correlation between UV curing industry and upstream and downstream industries
The UV curing new material industry chain can be simply divided into the upstream basic chemical raw materials and related auxiliary materials, the midstream is the manufacturer of radiation curing raw materials and radiation curing formula products, and the downstream is the terminal customers of the industries such as ink printing, home building materials, household appliances, automobiles, electronic parts, optical parts, optical fiber and microelectronics.
As a link in the UV curing formula products, UV curing new materials are located in the middle and upper reaches of the industrial chain.
The main raw materials required by the UV curing new material industry are chemicals, including acrylic acid, epoxy propane, epoxy resin, trimethylolpropane, etc. Therefore, its upstream industry is the chemical industry.
The price of chemical industry products will be mainly affected by factors such as oil price fluctuation and market supply and demand. The downstream industry of UV curing new materials industry is the UV curing formula product market, including three major industries: UV curing coatings, UV curing inks and UV curing adhesives.
The products are widely used in downstream areas, almost closely related to the main areas of daily life, from electronic products, home decoration materials to medicine and medical treatment.
Therefore, the continuous growth and technological progress of the downstream industry have a great impact on the UV curing new material enterprises, and the price changes and market demand changes of downstream enterprises will in turn affect the profitability of UV curing new material enterprises.
At the same time, as the performance of UV curing new materials has a significant impact on the performance of downstream products, the technology transformation and upgrading of downstream industries also have a great impact on UV curing new materials enterprises.
