Technology Overview

The manufacturing process for paints and coatings is initiated by using raw materials such as pigments, solvents, and resins. Paints and coatings are manufactured by mixing a certain ratio of resin binders with solvents using a mechanical agitator in a mixing tank. After mixing, the batch is passed through a filter and the final product is packed for sale. In the case of colored paints and coatings, the manufacturing process remains the same except that the pigments are first dispersed in a portion of polymer/carrier.

SOLVENT-BASED

Solvent-based coating is a conventional technology used for manufacturing paints and coatings.
Lacquer thinner, aliphatic hydrocarbons, xylene, and toluene are some of the commonly used solvents in the manufacturing process. However, the global solvent market, in terms of paints and coatings, has undergone a paradigm shift owing to the adverse effects of volatile organic compounds present in crude oil-based solvents on the environment.

There are two variants of solvents namely conventional solvents and organic solvents. Conventional solvents consist of glycol ethers, hydrocarbons, acetate esters, alcohols, chlorinated and ketones. Organic solvents are majorly used in traditional applications such as dry cleaning and also in manufacturing industries. Organic solvents are highly flammable in nature except chlorinated solvents.

WATER-BASED
Water, as a solvent, is used in a coating for the external environment to improve thermal protection, wear resistance, and corrosion/glazing of the paints and coatings. Paints and coatings use water as a solvent medium that can be water-borne or solvent-borne depending on the formulation requirements. Water-based paints and coatings offer certain advantages over solvent-based products, which include low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, ease of application, and quicker drying time. Water-based products can be made using various resins such as styrene-butadiene, acrylic, and polyurethane.

POWDER COATING

Powder coatings come in two resin types, namely thermoplastics and thermosetting plastic polymers. Thermosetting plastic polymers is expected to account for a significant market share over the forecast period as they are comparatively more heat stable than thermoplastics. This is a modern advantage over the traditional solvent/water-based technology. The use of powder-based technology reduces/eliminates the issues related to liquid technologies. Following are the advantages of powder-based coatings over liquid coatings:

  • Performance – Powder coatings exhibit better resistance to chemicals, corrosion, weather, chipping, and scratching compared to wet paints. Powder coatings are better in terms of color as they stay bright and fresh for a long period.
  • Operational costs – Powder coatings are more economical and cover more surface area compared to any other organic solvent. These coatings reduce the cost in terms of operational labor as the operators require less training and guidance. Powder-based paint technology offers minimized waste production, reduced energy costs, and lower disposal costs

INCREASING AWARENESS REGARDING ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AND SUSTAINABLE
ALTERNATIVES IS ANTICIPATED TO BOOST THE PAINT AND COATINGS MARKET

Paints and coatings industry has witnessed significant growth in the use of environment-friendly
materials as a part of sustainable or green chemistry in the recent years. Rise in consumer awareness for sustainable products and increasingly strict environmental regulations regarding the reduction of volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions are supporting the demand for eco-friendly paints and coatings. The eco-friendly nature of coatings has been one of the most important factors in the paints and coatings market as these coatings do not contain any solvents, resulting in negligible VOC emissions as well as reduced risk of combustion during its application and storage.
Stringent government regulations regarding the environment, especially air pollution, in the U.S., China, and Western European countries will continue to be a driving factor for the adoption of low-pollution coating technologies in the coming years. These regulations have led to the shift in demand from solvent-based coatings to low-VOC or eco-friendly products, such as high solids, powder coatings, waterbased, and UV-curable coatings. These low-VOC products contain lesser solvents that evaporate during the application phase and help in achieving a greener environment with minimum or zero VOC emissions.

China is expected to witness high demand for eco-friendly coatings over the forecast period owing to the several government initiatives for the reduction of VOC emissions in the country under the 13th FiveYear Plan. Under the 13th Five-Year Plan, the government is also focusing to raise the production of environmentally friendly coating varieties by 57% of the total coatings output in China by 2020. This push toward eco-friendly coatings is likely to outpace the development of overall paints and coatings industry, thereby boosting the demand for eco-friendly paints and coating in the coming years.

The presence of solvents in coatings is directly proportional to VOC emissions. Conventional liquid coatings contain over 60% solvents, which results in VOC emissions for long durations, even after their application. On the contrary, eco-friendly coatings contain no solvents, which results in negligible VOC emissions into the atmosphere.

Low carbon dioxide (CO2) and VOC emissions coupled with less wastage are expected to contribute toward maintaining a green environment. Technological advantages offered by the product and the simplicity of application have resulted in powder coatings being a preferred choice for coating applications compared to other coatings.

These considerations may discourage consumers from buying VOC-containing paints and coatings, which would hamper the expansion of the paints and coatings business.

STRINGENT REGULATIONS REGARDING TOXIC SOLVENTS

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are required to conform to various statutory regulations and
legislations. These organic compounds, which are widely utilized in paints and coatings for technical applications, are subject to several governmental and federal regulations for controlling VOC emissions and to limit human exposure to toxic substances.

National and international regulatory bodies ensure the legal conformity of VOCs in new application areas, the environmental relevance of VOCs, and raw material safety evaluations based on ecotoxicological and toxicological data. Chemical industry associations, such as The European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) and German Chemical Industry Association along with other scientific groups, are constantly working on evaluating and developing low VOC content paints and coatings for their application in various industrial sectors.

Formaldehyde, D- limonene, Toluene, Acetone, Ethanol, 2- propanol, and Hexanal are some of the volatile organic compounds. VOC emissions contribute to both indoor and outdoor air pollution. Since 1998, the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) is monitoring the use of VOCs in various products such as protective coatings for various industries, household cleaners, consumer products, fuel containers, and aerosol coatings.

As per the Clean Air Act amendments, the EPA has implemented programs to reduce emissions of VOC and related elements that lead to ozone degradation. The agency has implemented the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and may also sanction areas, where the manufacturers have to follow the set of standards. Thus, stringent regulations by the EPA, OSHA, EU, and other regional agencies across the globe are expected to challenge the growth of paints and coatings market over the forecast period.
