Additionally, the relative positioning of these factors is high and superiority of a single factor at the outlay of the other factor is unconceivable. Advancements in manufacturing technologies and paint formulations have added to the expansions of these coating substances and influenced the application of automotive coatings. These products have enabled in reduction of maintenance cost and ownership as the use of smart coating with self-healing properties aid in automatically rectifying of paint surface without any additional support. Moreover, the enhanced surface robustness is the prime development in the application of these coatings. Addition of properties to coatings like self-healing, super-hydrophobicity, self-sensing, sound proofing, self-stratifying, and vibration damping makes the surface more durable and potentially long lasting.

Segment Analysis

Enhancement of coating life and environmental changes can be achieved using smart coatings. They are very receptive to mechanical trigger, corrosion, abrasives, or sound proofing. These coatings adapt and self-heal rendering to varied environmental retorts.

Popularity of self-healing coatings among all product types has risen owing to emphasis on retaining a specific form of memory polymer which is activated with manipulation of moisture and temperature along with influence of UV radiation. The other smart coatings forms have internal sensing capability that involves lively or inert activation of numerous fluorescent quantum molecules. The technological advancement in both product and process are predicted to further fuel the adoption of these products in the locomotive trade.
