New Innovations in Paint Technology & Trends in 2024
From the desk of Kumari Suninda
Coatings can be applied to polymeric materials such as starch, protein, and cellulose. It can also be obtained from fruits and vegetables such as seaweed and lime zest.
Let’s take cellulose as an example because it is the most abundant material on earth, and therefore the cheapest to buy. Compared to other similar materials (many earth elements), cellulose has the highest melting and glass transition temperatures, and this makes it ideally suited for coatings. Furthermore, it is insoluble in water and has a balanced set of properties that make cellulose the preferred choice for durable coatings.

PPG Dives Deeper into Powder Coating Innovation with Alpha Coating Technologies Acquisition
PPG acquired Alpha Coating Technologies (US powder coating manufacturer) in March 2020 to expand its powder coating business. This acquisition provides new powder capabilities, with small batch and low-curing powder manufacturing capabilities for general finishing, light industrial, furniture, and temperature-sensitive substrate end-uses and provides emerging IP at ultra-low-temperature curing powder technology.
With this acquisition, PPG will enter the growing market for powder on thermal surfaces, such as medium-density fiberboard (MDF), high-density fiberboard (HDF).
Powder coatings may require a temperature of 500°F for proper use. The non-thermal medical powder technology supported PPG’s ongoing research into the development of low-temperature powder coatings.
How Do Antimicrobial Treatments Work for Coatings?
Antimicrobial treatments work by adding active ingredients to coatings that inhibit the growth and spread of bacteria, mold and mildew. These chemicals can be sprayed on a wide variety of surfaces using water, solvents edge, high-density, and on the powder coating. Once treated, the antibiotics work by destroying the physiology of the bacteria, preventing them from reproducing. As a result, coatings protect coatings, helping to keep them clean and long lasting, reducing the need for daily maintenance and repairs and increasing durability.
Brushing Up on the Latest: Coatings Industry Trends
The paints and coatings industry is rapidly evolving to meet the growing demand for durable and durable coatings. As governments and consumers continue to prioritize environmental sustainability, the push for innovation in the industry will continue to revolve around four focused themes by efficiency:
Sustainability
Today’s consumers expect durable products that will maintain their quality over a long period of time, creating a demand for more robust coatings and influencing technological advances. The durability of a coating depends largely on its application and the environment in which it must perform. For example, exterior coverings can be susceptible to weathering and deterioration. Sunlight, heat, and moisture can cause blisters, swelling, and cracking, causing the surface of the coating to deteriorate over time. As a result, color, shine retention and weather resistance determine the durability of exterior coatings.
Legislative Assembly
More stringent environmental regulations and growing consumer expectations for sustainable products continue to pose challenges for coatings manufacturers. For manufacturers, the question arises as to how to modify drugs that face regulatory challenges. Increasingly, the market is looking for better health and wellness solutions as seen in China where VOC reductions and regulations are driving changes.
Continuous Innovation in Imaging Technology
With demand for quality and increased performance, here are industry trends and new painting technologies to watch out for:
Improved indoor air quality and odor elimination
Improving indoor air quality is a major consideration for building professionals and occupants, especially in the educational and healthcare industries. Many pollutants in the air including volatile organic compounds (VOC) and formaldehyde including from paint, varnish, furniture, carpet, furniture and other building materials.
As a result, building codes and governments are providing incentives for healthier indoor environments by specifying building materials to furniture finishes, paving the way for low-VOC paint This is a type of paint that contains fewer VOCs or VOC solvents than traditional coatings.
Conclusion
Paints and coatings are important applications for a variety of industries and applications. They provide environmental protection, aesthetic enhancement, and durability. Painting and coatings require specialized equipment and careful selection of materials. Paints and coatings are varied and are important in the daily manufacture of products and services.
