Market Dynamics

Growing composites usage in end-user industries

The growing application of cyanate ester resins in several end-user industries including aerospace, automotive, and electronics owing to its offered advantages is a key factor driving the growth of the global market demand. In January 2024, Mitsubishi Chemical Corp.  (MCC) has developed a cyanate ester carbon fiber prepreg that offers high heat resistance and excellent strength. This innovative product addresses the trade-off between heat resistance and strength in conventional Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRPs). The prepreg, developed using a cyanate ester-based resin, can withstand temperatures up to 250°C and offer the flexibility and toughness of carbon fiber. It can also be cured in the same molds as traditional epoxy resin-based CFRP, providing better storage stability and processability. MCC plans to expand the product's marketing scope beyond automotive and industrial applications. Such initiatives of the major players that promotes the application scope of the cyanate ester resins is further aiding to the global market growth.

Growing use as replacements of epoxy resins

Globally, cyanate ester resins are also starting to replace epoxy resins in some high-performance applications. Epoxy resins are the most common type of thermoset resin used in composites, but they have some limitations. For instance, epoxy resins can degrade at high temperatures. Cyanate ester resins offer a better alternative for high-temperature applications.
