The market penetration rate of methyl etherified melamine resin continues to increase, and the industry development prospects are good

Methyl etherified melamine resin refers to a synthetic resin produced from melamine and formaldehyde as raw materials through condensation reaction, methanol etherification and other processes. According to different structures, methyl etherified melamine resin can be divided into polymerized partially alkylated melamine resin, polymerized high imino high alkylated melamine resin, and monomeric high alkylated melamine resin.

During the synthesis process of melamine resin, formaldehyde is often unable to fully participate in the chemical reaction. Therefore, after the resin is synthesized, the formaldehyde that does not participate in the reaction will become free formaldehyde. In high temperature environments, free formaldehyde evaporates from the resin to form formaldehyde pollution. Melamine resin is mainly used in the manufacturing of building materials, furniture, kitchenware and other products. Such products are in close contact with the human body. Therefore, reducing free formaldehyde in the resin, which is more harmful to the human body, has become an important direction for upgrading melamine resin.

According to the “2023-2028 Methyl Etherified Melamine Resin Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that methyl etherified melamine resin is one of the upgraded products of melamine resin. It has the advantages of low free formaldehyde content, high solid content, small molecular weight, good stability, large degree of cross-linking, good heat resistance, and strong corrosion resistance. , has higher application advantages in coatings, inks, plastics, textiles, chemicals, papermaking and other fields. Especially in the field of coatings, methyl etherified melamine resin can be used in manufacturing scenarios such as automotive topcoats and building panel coatings.

Driven by the rapid development of the downstream market, the market penetration rate of methyl etherified melamine resin, a type of synthetic resin with excellent performance, is gradually increasing. However, due to technology and cost constraints, the current mainstream product in the domestic melamine resin market is still ordinary melamine resin. In 2022, the domestic melamine resin market size will reach 1.15 billion yuan. In the future, as domestic environmental protection and health awareness gradually become more and more popular, methyl etherified melamine resin is expected to accelerate the replacement of melamine resin, and the market development prospects are broad.

At present, the domestic companies in the methyl etherified melamine resin market mainly include Shandong Zhanhua Aoshi Chemical, Zhejiang Yadina New Materials, Changzhou Jubo Energy Saving Technology, Chongqing Jianfeng New Materials, Jiangsu Changneng Energy Saving New Materials, Jiangsu Changshun High Molecular Materials, Shanghai Qiying Polymer Materials, Shandong Yanggu Huatai Chemical, Henan Junhua Development, Liaoning Hengxing Fine Chemical, Hefei Puqing New Materials, etc.

Industrial analysts personnel said that methyl etherified melamine resin is an upgraded product of melamine resin and has free formaldehyde content. It has the characteristics of low content, high solid content and small molecular weight, and has higher application advantages in coatings, building materials and other fields. In the future, with the continuous strengthening of national health and environmental awareness, the market penetration rate of methyl etherified melamine resin is expected to continue to increase, and the industry development prospects are good.
