Introduction
Coating additives are specialized chemical substances incorporated into coatings to enhance their performance, durability, and application properties. They play a crucial role in addressing specific challenges encountered in various coating applications, such as improving surface adhesion, providing resistance to environmental factors, or altering the appearance of the final product. These additives are used in minute quantities but significantly influence the properties of coatings such as paints, varnishes, and lacquers.
Coating additives are substances mixed into coatings, paints, or other surface treatments to enhance their performance or provide specific properties. These additives can modify various characteristics of the coating, such as its appearance, durability, adhesion, rheology, and resistance to factors such as UV radiation, corrosion, or abrasion. Coating additives are added to paints and coatings to improve their quality, impact resistance, viscosity, and surface effectiveness. These coating additives also improve dispersion of solids, wetting, foam-reduction, anti-catering, gloss control, anti-chipping, and UV protection of coatings. Polymers, silicates, chemicals, and various gases are used as additives in coatings to augment properties of coating and paints.
Coating additives can be either liquids or solids, and they serve different functions based on their chemical composition and properties. Rheology modifiers additives help control the flow and consistency of the coating, ensuring proper application and desired leveling and sag resistance. Pigments and colorants additives provide color or opacity to the coating, allowing it to achieve the desired aesthetic appearance. Furthermore, fillers are solid additives that improve the coating's properties by increasing its volume, reducing cost, improving mechanical strength, or enhancing other performance attributes. Moreover, solvents are additives used to dissolve or disperse other components of the coating formulation. They facilitate proper mixing and application of the coating and evaporate during the drying or curing process.
UV stabilizers additives protect the coating from the harmful effects of UV radiation, preventing degradation, fading, or discoloration caused by exposure to sunlight. Selection and combination of coating additives depend on the desired performance requirements and the type of coating application. The global coating additives market is anticipated to register substantial growth in the future, owing to increase in demand from various sectors such as architectural, industrial, automotive, wood, and furniture.
Growth in demand for multifunctional additives, strict environmental regulations, and increase in awareness among users and formulators about benefits of coating additives are the major factors that drive the market growth. Rise in automotive and construction industries is expected to drive the coating additives industry growth during the forecast period. Furthermore, growing demand for high-performance coatings offer improved functionality, durability, and environmental sustainability, which is expected to drive the coating additive market forecast period. Coating additives play a crucial role in enhancing these properties and meeting the evolving needs of various industries such as automotive, construction, aerospace, and industrial manufacturing.
However, industrial discharges or solid wastes of paint and coatings materials interfere with local sanitary sewers that lead to the discharge of pollutants into local waterways. This hinders the growth of the coating additives market, owing to rise in environmental concerns.
Increase in demand for water-borne and powder-based coating additives in green construction.
The growing interest in sustainability, which manifests in the form of stricter environmental regulations and a rise in consumer demand for more environmentally friendly products, is the key driver for the adoption of waterborne paints and coatings as well as advancements of resin, additives, and pigment technologies used in their formulation. Apart from environmental benefits, there are a number of other advantages of using waterborne coatings over solvent-based systems.
Reduced explosion risk and cheaper insurance costs are major factors in industrial applications. In China, use of waterborne coatings has led to reduced waste-removal costs as waste streams for waterborne are lower than those for dangerous solvent-containing wastes. In architectural applications, low odor levels of water-based paints is a major driver for their use as building occupants and industry operators become more concerned about solvent odors. Water-borne epoxy coatings are usually used in several applications including transportation, building & construction, and industrial.
This is attributed to people’s health, environmental, and safety benefits. In specialty applications, there is a trend away from solvent-borne epoxy coatings more toward water-borne epoxy coatings. Therefore, water-borne epoxy coatings account for a major share in the coating additives market.. Water-borne epoxy coatings exhibit properties such as high mechanical strength and toughness with electrical and thermal properties, which enables extensive use of water-borne epoxy coatings in various industries, thus expected to boost the growth of the market.
Rise in demand for water-borne epoxy resin composites from aerospace and wind energy industries is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. In addition, water-borne epoxy coatings are gaining popularity, owing to reduced content of VOCs in comparison to solvent-based coatings. It is required to meet stringent environmental standards and offer sustainable protective coatings. Thus, increase in demand for water-borne and powder-based coating additives in green construction is expected to drive the coating additives market growth during the forecast period.
