Thermoset decorative coatings are by far the largest powder coatings market segment amounting to 48,500 t worth 279,000,000. However, in the ... 

Another indication of the growth of the powder coating market is reflected in the membership statistics of the Powder Coating Institute (PCI). Prom 1987 to 1991 the number of members associated with powder coating manufacturers increased from 5 to 22 equipment suppHers from 3 to 9 custom apphcators from 1 to 29 and suppHers to the powder coating industry from 5 to 38 (78).

The distribution of powder coating sales by resin type for various geographical areas is given in Table 5. The polyester—epoxy hybrids account for 50% of the European market, yet have only market share <25% in the rest of the world. Similarly, the polyester urethanes, which account for only a small market share in Europe, find significant usage in the United States andjapan. AcryUcs hold a significant share only in the Japanese market.

Direction of innovation tfrom the standpoint of market actors - 6al Automotive manufacturers substantiate the reduction of solvent emissions by water-based and powdered coatings on the basis of emission statistics. However, the automotive manufacturers state the improvement of the surface quality with the simultaneous improved cost-effectiveness of procedures as the decisive criterion for successful innovation. 

Having sold all these base chemicals - most of them at peak value - UCB focused on innovative specialty resins such as UV cure resins, powder coating resins, and high-solid resins for automotive, graphic arts, and industrial applications. At the end of 2004, just before the closure of the sale to Cytec and two years after the acquisition of the Solutia activities, UCB s chemicals activity had a turnover of EUR 1.1 billion, around 40 percent of which was outside Europe, an EBITDA of EUR 147 million, and a leading position in most of its markets. 

Few industries have been as affected by the restructurings of the past ten years as the paint industry. The extension of markets worldwide owing to the multiplication abroad of client factories of this industry, the technological revolutions brought about by the introduction of electrophoresis, of water-based lacquers, and of powder coatings had the twin effect of pushing the chemical leaders to expand worldwide in this area and to lead those paint companies that were still independent to sell out for want of the funds needed to develop...

Much development work has produced powder coatings for decorative niche markets. They are now available in a wide range of gloss levels, colors, and specialized surface effects such as metallics, pearles-cent, fluorescent, antique, hammertone, textured, wrinkled, and clearcoats. Metallic powder coatings have presented an application challenge, because some types of metallics are dry blended. Application equipment manufacturers have learnt how to apply these challenging materials. ° ...
