Cyanate Ester Resins Market Report

Cyanate Ester Resins Market Insights

The global cyanate ester resins market is projected to grow at an impressive rate of 6.3% during the forecast period. Cyanate ester resin currently accounts for a minuscule share of the total composite resins market but is likely to witness a higher CAGR (6.3% vs 4.7%) over the next five years. Cyanate ester resins offer excellent strength and toughness, better electrical properties, high-temperature resistance, and lower moisture absorption. Their high-temperature-resistant properties are similar to BMI and polyimide resins when they are formulated correctly. They find use for a host of applications including antennae, radomes, wings, microelectronics and microwave products in the aerospace & defense and electrical & electronics industries. All these factors are proliferating the demand for cyanate ester resins in the global market.
