Powder coating is applied as a dry, free-flowing powder. It is a convenient method used to finish surfaces of different materials, including plastics, metals, and ceramics. It is a finishing process in which powder coating is applied using a spray gun that electrostatically charges the powder particles and resin onto a surface or object and then cures the coating by heat, which then forms a hard finish. This coating has a high recyclable content and better abrasion resistance and durability, making it suitable for industrial, architectural, and automotive applications. Furthermore, this coating is available in a range of textures and colors.
Underlining need for more sustainable solutions and progress in construction and manufacturing industries is developing new openings for powder coatings sector. Coating formulators and raw material providers are responding with the improvement of novel powder coating technologies that can be manufactured and applied more proficiently, show enhanced performance characteristics, and possess a superior variety of prospective end uses. For the previous numerous years, the powder coatings sector has been, and endures to be, in a phase of growth and revolution during manifold market spaces. The emergence of technologies that address the current issues for manufacturing productivities and cost are driving these needs. One instance is the expansion and development of compact process systems.
Development of global powder coatings market is credited to influences like augmented consumer expenditure, climbing per capita income, fluctuating consumer inclinations plus progression in technology. Greater utilization rate as than liquid forms are amongst the fundamental reasons impacting the complete product application possibility. The infrastructural development is also a crucial factor motivating the product requirement on an international scale. Proficiency and over spray are amongst the vital aspects leading the market economics.
However, current pandemic of COVID-19 has disturbed the production of raw materials employed for coatings and paints manufacturing. Major economies of Asia Pacific such as Japan, India, China, Thailand and Singapore are the centers for paints and coatings manufacturing industry. Present pandemic of COVID-19 in this region severely impacted the affected the supply of these raw materials.
