2017 Technology Breakthroughs Enabling Low-VOC Coatings – Research and Markets

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Technology
Breakthroughs Enabling Low-VOC Coatings" report has been added
to Research and Markets' offering.

The key research and development (R&D) of low VOC coating technology
will continue to focus on the development of sustainable raw materials
and coating formulations to meet the environmental regulation. Currently
the initiatives to penetrate the market and gain market share offer
ample scope for bio-based raw materials manufacturers. As the market is
shifting towards a high functionality coatings, the industry
participants which able to provide low VOC coatings with anti-corrosive,
high temperature resistance, high weatherability and durable features
can definitely capture a greater piece of the market share.

Over the last few years environmental regulations have created a huge
demand for low- and zero-VOC coating products especially in
architectural paint industry. As the growing awareness of consumers
toward health and environmental impact of the use of chemical
substances, low-VOC coating application has become an important trend
across various industries including, automotive, heavy industrial and
packaging.

Numerous technologies have been applied to enable the low VOC
technologies, such as powder coatings, radiation cure, high solid
content coating and waterborne coating systems. Within each type of
technologies, the selections of raw materials such as resins/binders,
pigments, additives and solvents play the important roles to provide
high performance and cost-effective coatings. One of the significant
transitions in the low VOC coating market is the switching of organic
solvent-based to water-based coatings and high solid content coatings in
different applications. More research efforts are focusing on the resins
and additives modification advancements which can offer expanded
functionality to support emerging application while fulfilling the
environmental requirements.

The low VOC coating market is primarily driven by the increasing demand
for green and eco-friendly coatings solution and the raising of
stringent regulations. However, some of the limitations in the existing
low VOC coating technologies such as low weatherability, narrow color
selection and higher cost have hindered the widely adoption of the
coatings. R&D investments to develop quality or similar coating product
with lower production costs promise ample opportunities for market
participants.
