Flexible epoxy resins, also known as polyepoxides, are reactive prepolymers and polymers containing epoxide. Epoxy functional groups are also known as epoxy functional groups. To achieve high mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties, flexible epoxy resins can be reacted (cross-linked) with themselves via catalytic homopolymerisation, or with a variety of co-reactants such as polyfunctional amines, acids (and acid anhydrides), phenols, alcohols, and thiols. These co-reactants are often referred to as hardeners or curatives, and the cross-linking reaction is referred to as curing. These cured flexible epoxy resins composites have a wide range of applications in paints and coatings, electrical & electronics, automotive, and other fields. For example, composites are used as encapsulates for semiconductor materials, surface coatings, adhesives, painting materials, and other materials.
COVID-19 Impact on the Thermoformed Plastics  Market:
The outbreak has significantly impacted the chemicals & materials supply chains, international trade, and manufacturing operations worldwide. Flexible epoxy resin production declined amidst the COVID-19 pandemic as market players had to shut production facilities or operate the facilities below the optimal production capacities to avoid the spread of the novel coronavirus. Additionally, the variable costs of raw materials owing to supply disruptions due to border and trade restrictions have impacted the production of flexible epoxy resin industry. However, some large market players have continued operations at their production facilities. Furthermore, downturns in the European and Asian Pacific, particularly Chinese, Latin American, or other world economies, increases in interest rates, and unfavorable currency fluctuations have affected the flexible epoxy resin market.
The outbreak caused a huge impact on the supply of raw materials. The global COVID crisis badly hit the chemical industry, which affected the price margins of raw materials and end products. Thus, the outbreak has resulted in the disruption of the supply-demand of raw materials, which affected the production of chemicals to a huge extent.Â
COVID-19 has impacted the sales of flexible epoxy resin market globally. The paints & coating industry, which constitutes the highest share of the flexible epoxy resin market, has halted globally, impacting the market. The manufacturers cannot run down their products to the application industries due to a reduction in logistics. On the other hand, the suppliers are back to business, and distribution channels have re-opened. The sales & distribution channel comprises distributors, retailers, wholesalers, and e-commerce merchants who have signed long-term agreements with the manufacturer to ensure the final product's availability at different locations as and when required.
