Reactive Diluents Market Size, Share, Growth and Trends and Forecast 2018-2023 Reactive diluents are clear, colorless, low-viscosity liquids, commonly known as thinners. Reactive diluents are glycidyl ethers of short-chain aliphatic alcohols or alkylphenols. They are added to reduce the viscosity of the substance to increase handling and ease of processing. They enhance various performance properties such as adhesion, impact & tensile strength, thermal stability, filler-loading, flexibility, reduce volatility, and solvent resistance of the system. The use of reactive diluents significantly reduces the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC). These diluents are compatible with both solvent-based and water-based paints and coatings. They act as substitutes for a number of plasticizers such as diisononyl phthalate (DINP), di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP), and di-2-Ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) Reactive diluents are majorly used to reduce the viscosity of the epoxy resin. The epoxy resin is the principal raw material required for the manufacturing of paints & coatings, adhesives & sealants, and composites, which is projected to increase the demand from end-use industries such as automotive, construction & building, electrical & electronic, wind energy, aerospace, and others. Paints & coatings are extensively utilized in the construction & building and the automotive industry to improve the aesthetic appeal and provide protection from external environmental factors. This is expected to boost the demand for epoxy resin as well as consumption of reactive diluents over the forecast period. The market is likely to witness significant growth in the demand for adhesives & sealants across various end-
