Analysis of the Development of Polyether Amine Industry

Development prospects of polyether amine industry
Due to special environmental requirements, epoxy resin fan blades in various countries around the world generally use polyether amine or polyether amine composite materials as curing agents for epoxy resin. Wind turbines are generally installed in deserts, grasslands, seaside or sea areas. The length of wind turbine blades is generally around 50 meters, and long blades can reach over 80 meters, with an all-weather service life of over 20 years. Due to the characteristics of large size, complex appearance and bad working environment of wind turbine blades, not only the blades are required to have high strength and toughness, but also have high requirements for their weather resistance. Technically, the blades are required to have a long operating time and high Thixotropy. In order to meet the above requirements, wind turbine blades require special formula design. At present, among all industrial adhesive curing agents, only polyether amine can meet the performance and process requirements of large-scale wind turbine blade manufacturing, including the use of special epoxy resin types, compatibility and modification, as well as the use of special curing agents and additives such as polyether amine. The continuous increase in wind power installed capacity has directly driven the market demand for polyether amines. Wind energy resources, as a kind of renewable natural conversion energy widely distributed in the ocean, mountain pass, grassland and other geographical locations, have become one of the main alternative green energy for emission reduction in the world. In recent years, wind power generation has also developed rapidly in China.
Strong demand in downstream industries
As we all know, the application of polyether amine in new energy (including wind power generation and Shale oil gas exploitation), high-speed railway and marine engineering (cross sea bridge protection, seawater desalination pipeline protection, offshore steel structure protection and ship structure surface coating) is a key industry encouraged by the national industrial policy. The localization of polyether amine has a significant impact on high-performance composite materials in China, and is of great significance for the development of waterproof materials and environmentally friendly coatings. The continuous expansion of total installed capacity of wind power in China and various regions of the world, and the rapid growth of Shale oil and offshore oil and gas exploration activities have laid a number of strong demand growth points for the application of polyether amine in the market. In addition, the application of polyether amines in various fields such as environmentally friendly coatings, automotive electrophoretic coatings, artificial marble, and fuel oil has also been rapidly promoted, gradually covering multiple fields of the national economy.
