Versatile Applications Across Industries

Versatility is one of the hallmarks of composite epoxy systems. Copps ‘ composite epoxies excel in varied conditions, from high-strength bonding in aerospace to water and chemical resistance in marine environments.

Composite epoxies can bond with a variety of substrates, offering performance benefits like heat resistance, chemical stability, and insulation. In aerospace, our composite epoxies are engineered to withstand the intense stress and vibration of flight while providing lightweight, high-strength bonds. In automotive applications, our epoxies contribute to the lightweight but durable body panels and chassis to improve efficiency without compromising safety. In marine environments, our epoxies resist chemical exposure and moisture to extend the lifespan of essential parts.

Reduced Costs and Maintenance

In industries where downtime is costly, durability is critical. By engineering systems that excel in severe environments, Copps composite epoxy systems offer long-lasting reliability to improve operational efficiency and reduce maintenance costs.

Composite epoxy solutions need to withstand the test of time through constant exposure and heavy operation. In aerospace, our composite epoxies endure high altitudes and extreme temperatures, allowing essential parts to perform reliably over the long run. For automotive applications, the durability of our epoxies in engine and structural components reduces wear and tear to reduce the need for frequent part replacements. Across marine environments, our composite epoxies withstand constant exposure to harsh conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance.

Sustainable Solutions: The Promise of Bio-Based Epoxy Products

At Copps Industries, we understand that sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the future of manufacturing. While the demand for bio-based products hasn’t yet taken hold in many markets, we’re staying ahead and preparing for these innovative solutions to someday become indispensable.

The future of bio-based epoxy resins is promising, with the market projected to grow significantly in the coming years. Our forward-thinking approach reflects both our commitment to innovation and our dedication to environmental stewardship. Our exploration of bio-based epoxy products is helping us stay ahead of the curve so we’re ready when the market demands it.

Here’s how Copps is preparing for the shift and why we’re investing in these solutions now.

The Future of Bio-Based Epoxy Products

Bio-based resins, derived from plant-based raw materials rather than traditional petroleum sources, have huge potential across many industries. We predict the popularity and demand will grow significantly in the years to come, especially as regulations and shifting generational values start to shape purchasing decisions. While the U.S. market has yet to embrace bio-based products fully, European customers are already paving the way. Much like their leadership in other environmental efforts, like the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), European industries are exploring bio-based alternatives to address supply chain challenges and create reliable alternatives to oil.

Why Bio-Based Matters

Bio-based epoxy resins are derived from renewable sources like vegetable oils, sugars, and even orange peel. Unlike traditional petroleum-based resins, they:

• Are less toxic and produce fewer volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.
• Offer environmental benefits by reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
• Can be made degradable, offering a potential solution for end-of-life product disposal.

Bio-based resins are already being used in the automotive, aerospace, and construction industries, where sustainability and performance go hand in hand. As new environmental regulations emerge and more companies focus on reducing their carbon footprints, the demand for bio-based alternatives will likely grow.

Our Work to Stay Ahead of the Curve

At Copps, we’ve already completed several bio-based formulations. This proactive approach positions us as a leader in the space, ready to bridge the gap between innovation and environmental responsibility.

We constantly ask ourselves, “Is there a safer or better alternative?” and “How can we be as progressive as possible environmentally?” These questions have driven us to explore every angle, from sourcing sustainable raw materials to assessing potential performance trade-offs.

• Sustainability in Sourcing: Bio-based materials rely on agricultural production, meaning infrastructure and supply chains must evolve to scale these solutions. The infrastructure isn’t fully in place today, but we continue to monitor its development.
• Balancing Performance and Cost: Today’s bio-based epoxies are slightly more expensive than traditional formulations, but as adoption increases and infrastructure matures, costs could decrease. We’re ready to help our customers navigate this shift without sacrificing quality or performance.

Market Growth and Opportunities

The bio-based epoxy resin market is projected to reach $4.9 billion by 2032. This anticipated growth is primarily driven by increasing environmental concerns and regulations, but it’s also fueled by advancements in research and development. The next generation of decision-makers, who are sometimes more attuned to environmental concerns, could also accelerate adoption by choosing greener solutions when given the choice.

At Copps, we see bio-based products as a future cornerstone of our industry, and we’re committed to being leaders in this space. Our belief is simple: sustainability and innovation go hand in hand. Even if bio-based products aren’t a significant differentiator today, we’re preparing for when they become essential.

The Copps Commitment: Innovation + Responsibility

As a chemical company, we have a responsibility to lead the way in sustainability. That means thinking about what’s essential today and what’s possible tomorrow.

Our exploration of bio-based epoxy products reflects our dual commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship. We’re committed to both pushing boundaries and considering the long-term impact of our products.

Here’s how we’re leading the way:

• Ongoing Research & Development: We’re investing in research to understand the mechanical properties and chemical resistance of bio-based epoxies and exploring ways to ensure they meet the highest performance standards.
• Learning from Global Trends: Our European customers are already ahead in adopting bio-based solutions, driven by resource constraints and sustainability goals. We’re learning and taking cues from their leadership.
  
• Listening to the Next Generation: As younger decision-makers enter the industry, they may be more likely to prioritize environmentally friendly options. We’re preparing for this generational shift by developing solutions that meet their expectations.

Looking Ahead

At Copps Industries, we believe in staying ahead of the curve—not just for innovation’s sake but to create a more sustainable future for our customers and the planet. We believe in asking tough questions, exploring safer alternatives, and preparing for the future.

Bio-based products may not yet be mainstream in many industries, but we’re proactively developing formulations and tackling challenges like performance, cost, and scalability. Whether the eventual shift to bio-based solutions comes as a result of customer choice, government mandates, or global trends, Copps will be ready to lead.
