Since ancient humans developed the ability to think, they also possessed an innate desire for beauty; this desire for beauty emerged almost simultaneously with the invention of ornaments. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as human history has existed, so has the history of the invention of ornaments. All ornaments are created to satisfy human aesthetic preferences; they are all fashioned to meet human artistic demands. So-called jewelry that has been created naturally without any human intervention hardly exists. Strictly speaking, all ornaments are created through human thought and intention; it is only because of the different types of materials used that people distinguish between naturally occurring materials for ornaments and chemically synthesized materials. Natural materials used for jewelry are becoming increasingly rare, as many of them are non-renewable; and because rarity makes things valuable, they become more expensive. Chemically synthesized materials, thanks to the increasing advancement of science and technology, can be produced in large quantities and recycled. Using them for jewelry makes such items more attractive and practical, while also reducing costs. The technology for creating jewelry using chemically synthesized adhesives is becoming increasingly sophisticated and widespread. As people’s living standards have improved significantly in recent years, the demand for accessories has spread to all aspects of life and production, with growth rates exceeding normal levels. Since the demand for jewelry is thousands of times greater than the supply of natural, precious gems, it is simply impossible to use precious, natural, non-renewable materials for jewelry in large quantities among the general public for ordinary purposes and in everyday life and production. Therefore, people have long turned their attention to chemically synthesized jewelry materials that are aesthetically pleasing, easy to manufacture, inexpensive, and equipped with practical features. Among them, epoxy jewelry adhesive has become the preferred choice for modern jewelry adhesives due to its advantages such as safety, non-toxicity, aesthetic appearance, high plasticity, ease of use, durability, and low cost. The applications of epoxy jewelry adhesive include personal accessories such as earrings, hairpins, necklaces, bracelets, hat pins, brooches, clothing items, keychains, buttons, shoe decorations, belt buckles, accessories for bags and luggage, and toys. It is also used in everyday items like door handles and hardware fittings, as well as in decorative elements such as picture frames and signs. Production of vehicle and ship signs used in transportation, traffic signs, solar cells, polycrystalline silicon protective layers, decorations for hardware tool handles, etc., as well as floor decoration for use in production and daily life. In short, epoxy decorative adhesives are used in various aspects of people’s lives and production. It can almost be said that decoration is an essential part of modern society, people’s lives, and production; likewise, the decoration market cannot do without epoxy decorative adhesives. Moreover, its global growth rate is increasing at an unimaginable speed.
