Glycerine-Based Epoxy Resin — the bio-based route behind Bondone.

Most epoxy in the world starts from propylene, a petroleum derivative. DCM Shriram — the manufacturer behind the Bondone brand — starts instead from glycerine, a renewable byproduct of biodiesel. The whole chain runs in India at Jhagadia, Gujarat: Refined Glycerin to Epichlorohydrin (ECH) to Liquid Epoxy Resin. As of September 2026, Bondone Clear Cast made from this chain costs ₹731 for a 1.2 kg kit incl GST from our Ghaziabad warehouse.

01Key Facts

Glycerine-Based Epoxy Key Facts

What is glycerine-based epoxy resin?

Glycerine-based epoxy resin is made from glycerine — a renewable byproduct of biodiesel — instead of petroleum-based propylene. DCM Shriram refines crude glycerine into Refined Glycerin, converts it into Epichlorohydrin (ECH), and then into Liquid Epoxy Resin at Jhagadia, Gujarat. Every Bondone product we sell is built on this base resin.

What is DCM Shriram's production capacity?

51,000 tonnes per annum of epichlorohydrin at Jhagadia — the largest glycerine-route ECH plant in India — feeding a 17,000 tonnes per annum liquid epoxy resin facility just 3.5 km away at HSCL.

Is glycerine-based epoxy more expensive than regular epoxy?

No. The integrated glycerine-to-epoxy chain keeps costs competitive — Bondone Clear Cast works out to ₹609 per kg on the 1.2 kg kit and ₹536 per kg on the 12 kg kit, cheaper than many imported epoxies after anti-dumping duty (Notification 33/2025).

02What It Is

The Value Chain — from Glycerine to Bondone

DCM Shriram is one of the few chemical companies in the world — and the only one in India — running the entire glycerine-to-epoxy chain. Here is how it works, step by step.

1

Crude Glycerine

Every litre of biodiesel produces about 100 g of crude glycerine. DCM Shriram's agri-rural business sources it from sugarcane molasses and ethanol operations in Uttar Pradesh — an Indian, traceable feedstock.

2

Refined Glycerin

Crude glycerine is purified at Jhagadia into high-purity Refined Glycerin — listed under DCM Shriram's Chemicals & Vinyl portfolio alongside Epoxies and Epichlorohydrin.

3

Epichlorohydrin (ECH)

The Refined Glycerin is converted into Epichlorohydrin — the essential building block of epoxy — in DCM Shriram's 51,000 TPA plant, commissioned in phases from mid-2025.

4

Liquid Epoxy Resin (LER)

HSCL — DCM Shriram's speciality chemicals division — converts ECH into Liquid Epoxy Resin at 17,000 TPA, with the ECH reactor, epoxy kettle, and quality lab all within walking distance.

5

Bondone Products

Bondone Clear Cast, UV Stable, ClearLam CC, Flowtop, and Silcrete are formulated from this same glycerine-based LER — every batch traceable back to Jhagadia with a manufacturer certificate.

03Capacity

The Numbers Behind the Integrated Chain

Capacity figures from DCM Shriram's public disclosures and the Jhagadia complex I visited in early 2025.

51,000 TPA

Epichlorohydrin plant capacity at Jhagadia, Gujarat — glycerine route, not the traditional propylene route.

17,000 TPA

Liquid epoxy resin production at HSCL's 43-acre GIDC facility, feeding aerospace, EV, and construction markets.

3.5 km

Between the ECH plant and the epoxy facility — no third-party logistics between any two stages of the chain.

₹1,000 Cr

DCM Shriram's 2024 investment in advanced materials — including the glycerine-to-epoxy value chain.

04Decide

Which Bondone Product Uses the Glycerine-Based Resin?

Every Bondone product shares the same glycerine-based base resin from Jhagadia. If you want to match the right formulation to your project, the table below points you to the product and the price.

05Products

Bondone Products Made from Glycerine-Based Epoxy

All five Bondone formulations we stock are compounded from the same glycerine-derived base resin at Jhagadia. The difference is the additive package — UV stabilisers, self-levelling agents, or chemical resistance.

Product Type Pack Size Price
Bondone Clear CastDeep pour casting resin1.2 kg / 12 kg₹731 / ₹6,431

Each product carries the same quality standard because they share the same base resin from the same Jhagadia facility. For the full range, visit our product catalog.

06Quick Answer

Straight Answers

Why should I choose glycerine-based epoxy over imported resin?

Traceability. Every Bondone batch carries a certificate from Jhagadia, is ISCC Plus certified, and is not exposed to the anti-dumping duty (Notification 33/2025) that has pushed up imported liquid epoxy prices since 2025.

How much does glycerine-based epoxy cost per kg?

609 rupees per kg for Bondone Clear Cast on the 1.2 kg kit (₹731 total), and 536 rupees per kg on the 12 kg kit (₹6,431 total) — comparable to or cheaper than imported epoxy after anti-dumping duty.

Can I verify the Jhagadia facility and its claims?

Yes. DCM Shriram publishes its ISCC Plus, EcoVadis Bronze Medal, and Responsible Care credentials publicly. I have visited the Jhagadia complex myself and keep batch certificates and TDS ready with every order.

07Real Projects

Real Projects Using Bondone Glycerine-Based Epoxy

I have supplied Bondone — made from DCM Shriram's glycerine-based resin — for hundreds of projects across India. Three that stand out:

2-metre river table, Bengaluru

A furniture maker in Peenya Industrial Area needed 14 kg of Clear Cast for a custom mango-wood river table for a Koramangala restaurant. The resin flowed into the 8 mm natural crack with zero bubbles. The table has been in daily use since October 2025 with no yellowing. He now orders 200 kg every quarter.

2,000 sqft pharma floor, Himachal Pradesh

A pharmaceutical packaging unit in Baddi needed a chemical-resistant, dust-free epoxy floor for their cleanroom. We supplied Bondone Flowtop and Silcrete — both from the same glycerine-based resin system. The floor passed the GMP audit on first inspection.

Resin jewellery atelier, Jaipur

A jewellery designer in Johari Bazaar switched from an imported Chinese brand to Bondone Clear Cast after repeated cure failures during Rajasthan's 46°C summer. The glycerine-based resin handled the heat without premature gelling. She now produces 300+ pendant sets per month using our resin.

"The ₹100–₹150 per kg you save on Chinese epoxy disappears the first time a batch cures cloudy — or the hardener turns out to be substituted. Traceability is not a feature. It is the product."

08FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is glycerine-based epoxy resin?

It is epoxy resin made using glycerine (a renewable byproduct of biodiesel) as the starting feedstock instead of petroleum-based propylene. DCM Shriram manufactures it through their fully integrated value chain — Refined Glycerin to Epichlorohydrin (ECH) to Liquid Epoxy Resin (LER) — at their Jhagadia, Gujarat complex. This bio-based route reduces carbon footprint and eliminates dependence on imported crude oil. All Bondone branded epoxy products from DCM Shriram's HSCL division use this glycerine-derived ECH as the primary feedstock.

Is DCM Shriram's glycerine-based epoxy better for the environment?

Yes. Glycerine is a renewable bio-based feedstock derived from biodiesel production. Using glycerine instead of petroleum-based propylene reduces the carbon footprint. DCM Shriram holds ISCC Plus certification and an EcoVadis Bronze Medal for their sustainable manufacturing practices at the Jhagadia complex.

What Bondone products use glycerine-based epoxy?

All Bondone branded epoxy products from DCM Shriram's HSCL division — including Bondone Clear Cast, Clear Cast UV Stable, ClearLam CC, Flowtop, and Silcrete — are manufactured at the Jhagadia facility where glycerine-derived ECH is the primary feedstock.

Where can I buy DCM Shriram glycerine-based epoxy in India?

From Si Epoxy Adhesives — authorised distributor of Bondone brand. We stock Bondone Clear Cast, Flowtop, Silcrete, ClearLam CC, and UV Stable at our Ghaziabad warehouse. PAN India delivery via Delhivery and Blue Dart. WhatsApp +91-8595955752 for orders.

Is glycerine-based epoxy more expensive than regular epoxy?

No. DCM Shriram's integrated value chain — from glycerine to ECH to epoxy — makes their pricing competitive. Bondone Clear Cast costs ₹731 for 1.2 kg (₹609/kg) and ₹6,431 for 12 kg (₹536/kg). Prices are comparable to or lower than many petroleum-based imported epoxies, especially with anti-dumping duties on Chinese liquid epoxy resins in place since 2025. All prices include GST.

Does DCM Shriram sell glycerine directly?

Yes, DCM Shriram lists Refined Glycerin as part of their Chemicals & Vinyl Business portfolio alongside Epoxies and Epichlorohydrin (ECH). They produce it at their Jhagadia complex and sell it to industrial customers. However, as an epoxy distributor, I sell the finished Bondone epoxy products — not raw glycerine.
