Traditionally, solvent-borne coatings are considered to have superior beauty features than waterborne coatings. With technological development, consumer concept change and government promotion of environmental awareness, waterborne coating solutions are superior, and eventually become the major trend of construction coatings.

Understanding Waterborne Coatings

Waterborne coatings are regarded as eco-friendly coatings because they use water as solvent or no solvent. Waterborne coatings are coatings in which water is used as a solvent or dispersing medium, and their makeup includes waterborne resins, pigment, additives, and water. Compared with solvent-based paints, waterborne coatings have low VOC content, and no odor.

Based on the different film-forming materials, it can be categorized into waterborne acrylic coatings, waterborne epoxy resin coatings, waterborne polyurethane coatings, waterborne alkyd resin coatings, etc. Waterborne acrylic resin is the most important film-forming material, which is mainly used in the field of construction coatings, with good weather resistance, alkali resistance and adhesion, etc.

Coating Industry Market Demand Trends

Coating industry market demand changes are mainly affected by the level of economic development, consumer concepts, policies, etc.

Coating industry market demand changes to the quality type, the performance, quality, function and other demands on the coating will be higher. The market demand of the coating industry is personalized and varied, and the demands for color, health and other demands for coatings will be more varied. With the change in consumer concepts, the demand for service and innovation of coatings will be higher.

From the point of environmental protection policy, with countries paying attention to energy saving and emission reduction, the market demand of the coating industry will change to green type. Therefore, there is no doubt that waterborne coatings will eventually become the major trend of construction coatings.

China’s Waterborne Coatings Follow The Trend

China has become the world’s largest manufacturer and consumer of coatings in 2023. In 2021, global coatings volume increased by 4.8% to 453 million tons.

By 2025, China’s eco-friendly coatings varieties will account for 70% of total coatings production, aiming for early achievement of the carbon peak and carbon neutral targets for the coatings industry. The government strongly supports waterborne coatings. Infinechem also recognizes the performance of waterborne coatings.
