These coatings contain 80% of water with solvents and glycol ether. The market is expected to upsurge moderately owing to its remarkable Superior properties such as non-corrosive, hardness, stain resistant, adhesion, and flexibility of these products compared to its substitutes are an added advantage. Growing market for copiers, fax machines, computers, and printers are also some of the major drivers for the industrial sector.
In cold climatic condition, adhesive properties of the coatings minimize which a major drawback where its substitutes have an advantage. However, the industry players have been focusing in research and development activities to find solution for these. Another factor hampering the growth of the market is excessive foam production, which occurs mainly in manufacturing and transportation of the coatings.
The gradual shift of the automotive manufacturers to shift their production facilities in owing to the availability of cheap but skilled labor towards developing economies of Thailand, China, India, and Indonesia is anticipated to steer growth of the coatings industry.
Resin Insights:
Acrylic resins are the largest coating type consumed in 2014, owing to its wide applications in automotive refinishes, paints, medical devices, sealants, adhesives and architectural market. End-use industries prefer these resins owing to the low cost of production with excellent durability and weatherproof properties.
Polyurethane (PU) resins find a wide range of applications in high-quality finishes in indoor and outdoor coatings.
