Any combination of film-forming components combined with pigments, solvents, and other additives is a surface coatings. When applied to a surface and cured or dried, surface coatings produce a thin film that is both useful and frequently decorative.
Paints, drying oils and varnishes, synthetic transparent coatings, and other goods whose main purpose is to shield an object’s surface from the elements are examples of surface coatings. These products can also improve an object’s aesthetic appeal by emphasizing its surface characteristics or even by hiding them from view.
The majority of surface coatings used in industry and by consumers are based on synthetic polymers, which are manufactured substances made of incredibly large, frequently interconnected molecules that, when applied to surfaces, form strong, flexible, sticky films.
The additional materials that make up surface coatings are pigments, which give color, opacity, gloss, and other qualities; solvents or carrier liquids, which offer a liquid application medium for the chemicals that create the film; and additives, which offer a variety of unique qualities. Starting with the polymer constituents and moving on to the pigments, liquids, and additives.
The Global Coatings Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
Eastman is dedicated to providing innovation and coatings application solutions.They have been a major supplier of top-notch raw materials for the global paint and coatings industry for more than 70 years.
Technologies for performance. Cellulose esters for modifying rheology, preventing defects, and maintaining colour consistency. Adhesion promoters for modified polypropylene substrates and other plastics, both chlorinated and non chlorinated.
Solvents for obtaining the desired performance or application characteristics. Using resin intermediates, coating resins can be designed with novel structural alternatives that satisfy the necessary performance requirements additives that have great anti sag action, a quicker dry-to-touch time, and are simple to sand.
Rosin resins are especially helpful when creating NC lacquers with great grease and oil resistance and high colour retention.
In order to improve the aesthetics and lengthen the service life of metal roofing, siding, panels, and other building components, PPG has created DURASTAR ULTRA-COOL coatings, which combine an innovative silicone-modified polyester (SMP) coatings formulation with infrared-reflective (IR-reflective) pigments.
In order to protect industrial, agricultural, storage, and other types of metal buildings while delivering superior chalk resistance, fade resistance, and forming flexibility, Durastar ULTRA-Cool coatings use revolutionary polyester-based resin, crosslinking, and tinting technologies.
Buildings can maintain a cooler temperature and use less energy for air conditioning thanks to the inclusion of ULTRA-Cool IR-reflective pigments.
Discovery SP-8310, a 37 percent bio-based, breathable, multi-purpose resin, has been introduced by Covestro, a global leader in coating resin solutions for the decorative industry, to enable exterior coatings with improved outdoor durability and enhanced bio-based content.
The new solution, which is a member of Covestro’s Discovery family of resins with up to 52 percent bio-based content, meets the demand for more durable outdoor coatings in the decorative coating industry.
Painters and customers are increasingly looking for external painting systems that last longer across the decorative coatings market.
Adhesion and durability are the two main concerns for painters in outdoor paints, according to Covestro’s in-house research on painters and consumers.
Painters specifically need paints that give higher multi-substrate adhesion as the use of various substrates increases.
Exterior coatings are more susceptible than ever to cracking under extreme weather conditions, which force surfaces to contract and expand more severely, as the global climate problem worsens.
As a result, in order to achieve the necessary levels of durability, coatings must now be more flexible.
End-users and governments are increasingly calling for more environmentally friendly coatings with increased bio-based content in response to the climate problem.
Covestro created Discovery SP-8310, an acrylic resin designed to combine readily into multi-purpose paints with up to 37 percent bio-based content, to help its customers satisfy these performance and environmental needs.
The resin has exceptional long-term outdoor durability because of its combination of UV and water resistance with low dirt pick-up, making it suitable for use in industrial and architectural applications.
Decovery SP-8310 is also appropriate for a larger range of substrates and application locations because of its broad adhesion profile.
To enable long-lasting paint systems with high breathability and elasticity, the solution also offers good water vapour permeability and high elongation.
In comparison to non-bio-based water-based alternatives, Decovery SP-8310 can enable a carbon footprint reduction of up to 8% due to its 37% bio-based content (as confirmed by 14C analysis).
This impact is comparable to one million football fields of forest when one takes into consideration the annual consumption of the decorative wood coating market.
Decovery SP-8310 creates new opportunities for safer, more sustainable coatings manufacturing as well as external coatings that last longer and contain more bio-based materials.
