Powder Coatings – Eco-friendly Coatings Solution

Powder coatings are in high demand primarily due to its eco-friendly features as very less amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are found in powder coatings and low wastage during production and consumption. Equipment development is a major contributing factor towards opening up various application areas for powder coatings. In case of wet surface treatment there are some newly developed chrome free equipment processes based on zirconium, titanium and silane compounds. This newly developed systems allow the toxic products to get substituted. These techniques also offer simultaneous degreasing and pickling, which significantly reduces processing time. Technological advancements in the field of UV and IR curing facilities is estimated to fuel production speed of powder coating systems. UV and IR curing solutions are used in the powder coatings industry as they enable rapid curing of the coating to a solid state.

Introduction of fine-tuned products designed for specific applications and penetrating new markets through geographical expansion are key trends observed in powder coatings market. In November 2016, Axalta (supplier of powder and liquid coatings) introduced a semi-matte coatings solution called BK08 20 Gloss. This new powder offers increased durability and enhanced weather resistance capabilities. In November 2016, Axalta announced plans to set up a new production plant for powder coatings in Landshut, Germany, in order to cater to its large customer base in Europe.

The global powder coatings market size is estimated at US$ 9,130.4 million (revenue) and 2,314.6 kilo tons (volume) in 2016 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.2% in terms of revenue and 6.9% in terms of volume during the period 2017 – 2025.
