Three Global Megatrends Represent Opportunities for the Coatings Industry
In many ways, 2023 brought a feeling of “normalcy,” as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and numerous supply chain disruptions receded further into history. Challenges certainly remain (including economic uncertainty and increasing regulatory pressures, among others), but opportunities abound for innovative companies in the coatings industry.
Replacing Materials of Concern in Your Specialty Chemicals Formulations
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Isocyanates. Crystalline silica. Regulations regarding materials of concern are becoming increasingly complex all around the world, and the list of “concerning” materials only continues to grow. For this reason and others (e.g., supply chain constraints), developing a protocol for materials replacement is a necessity for those operating in the specialty chemicals sector.
Focus on Sustainability has Powder Coatings Poised for Growth in the U.S.
The driver behind the impressive growth of powder coatings can be attributed to their environmentally friendly profile, combined with exceptional performance characteristics. Looking forward, powder coatings are projected for continued above-market growth, with most reports claiming a global CAGR of 5.2-6.2% through 2028 (and the U.S. market to be on the higher end of the growth range). What is driving this high CAGR in the U.S.?
Next-Generation Adhesives for Wind Turbine Blades
As the global wind energy industry continues to evolve, how will adhesive bonding adapt? Adhesives are a critical contributor to the structural load-bearing performance of the final wind blade assembly. They are therefore subject to long qualifications at blade manufacturers. The current turbine blade bonding technology may be completely reshaped by three opportunities: raw material availability, blade recyclability, and the evolution of blade designs.
WEBINAR: Harnessing the Power of Business Cycle Analysis
In this “Harnessing the Power of Business Cycle Analysis” webinar, we demonstrate the benefits of Business Cycle Analysis in helping companies assess the economy, identify trends, and capitalize on emerging opportunities. Attendees learn about key economic and coatings market indicators, as well as how to track them using the interactive Business Cycle Analysis tool within the Coatings TraQr® platform.
Formulating with Flexibility
More than any single piece of lab equipment, a successful R&D team’s most vital tool is a flexibility mindset. Market demands continue to push developers and formulators to stretch the boundaries of what is achievable. In addition, customers are creative and don’t always evaluate or use products in the way they were originally intended.
