Bio-Based Paints & Coatings Are Garnering Significant Popularity Due To The Eco-Friendly And High Durability Of These Products
Rising Environmental and Health Concerns Requires the Use of Bio-Based Coatings for Many Applications. It has been seen that with an increase in the demand for bio-based synthetic paints & coatings, the paints industry is gradually cutting down on the usage of hazardous or polluting substances. This has led to a considerable reduction in the instances of fatal industrial accidents. As a result, the companies dealing in the manufacture of paints & coatings have also taken several steps to minimize their exposure to these chemicals. The use of bio-based paints & coatings are environment-friendly and do not emit any airborne pollutants. Moreover, they are capable of providing high durability, as compared to the regular paints.
A new kind of thermosetting polymer,
Acrylate is found to be extremely useful in the paints & coatings market.
It is derived from organic compounds such as nylon, silicone, polypropylene,
polyethylene, and several other compounds. This is extensively used in the
paints & coatings segment because of its inherent property such as water
resistance, thermostability, resistance to heat, chemical resistance, and elasticity,
etc. Other than all these, the most important feature of Acrylate is that it
does not require any catalyst for synthesis.
One major advantage of Paints &
Coatings is that it can provide durability and toughness to vehicles that are
subjected to extreme weather conditions. The most common application of the
epoxy coating is on the bumper and hood. Since it contains calcium carbonate, a
chemical that provides resistance to acids, fats, oils, and corrosives, the use
of the paint will protect the entire vehicle from unwanted external influences.
When the vehicles are used in harsh climates, the accumulation of dirt, grease,
and dust becomes a big problem. Recently, PPG Industries Inc., a U.S.-based
supplier of specialty paints, launched a new bio-based wall paint for the
professional and consumer market.
