Epoxy resins are part of the family of fundamental substances or dried end products known as epoxy. Epoxide groups are present in the family of reactive prepolymers and polymers referred to as resins, also known as polyepoxides. The functional group made up of epoxides is also known as epoxy. The IUPAC refers to an epoxide group as an oxirane. Through catalytic homopolymerization, epoxy can react (cross-link) with a variety of co-reactants, including polyfunctional amines, acids (and acid anhydrides), phenols, alcohols, and thiols, as well as with each other (usually called mercaptans). These co-reactants are frequently referred to as hardeners or curatives, and the cross-linking reaction is frequently referred to as curing.

Global Epoxy Resin Market is estimated to surpass US$ 39708.00 million by the end of 2021,  in terms of revenue, growing at CAGR of  5.51% during the forecast period (2022 to 2030).

When polyepoxides react with one another or with multifunctional hardeners, a thermosetting polymer is produced. This polymer frequently has strong thermal and chemical resistance as well as good mechanical properties. Epoxy has a wide range of applications, including metal coatings, composites, electrical components (such as chips on board), LEDs, high-tension electrical insulators, the production of paint brushes, fiber-reinforced plastic materials, and structural and other adhesives.

 Adhesive applications frequently use epoxy resin. This is done so that the epoxy's robust qualities will enable the creation of structural and engineering adhesives. Construction of automobiles, snowboards, aeroplanes, and bicycles frequently makes use of epoxy resin. However, epoxy adhesives aren't just useful for building things. In fact, they are adaptable to almost any circumstance. Because there are so many different setting options, epoxy is frequently used. It can transition from being flexible to rigid, and there are options for opaque and transparent.
