Marine Coatings: Striking a Balance in Biofouling Control
In 2022, marine coatings were an $8.7 billion market, with a growth projection of 5-7% through 2028. However, there is a lot more to marine coatings than great aesthetics. At approximately a 64% share, anti-fouling/fouling release coatings were the largest portion of the marine coating market, followed by anti-corrosion and self-cleaning/self-polishing coatings. In addition, marine coatings have special and specific functionalities to protect watercraft above and below the waterline. Finally, marine coatings are specially formulated to be easily cleaned.
2023 Raw Materials and Chemicals Overview for Adhesives
The manufacturing of adhesives and sealants relies on raw materials and chemicals (including some specialty chemicals) that hold a significant position within the vast chemical industry. While the U.S. chemical industry is facing challenges such as low demand, oversupply, and narrowing profit margins, numerous opportunities exist—particularly as companies increasingly focus on sustainability and circularity. Strategic decision making and investments in innovation will be crucial for long-term success in a changing landscape.

WEBINAR: More than Just Wood – Low-Temp Cure Powder Coating Technology
As powder coating applications for medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and hardwoods become more commonplace, low-temperature-cure powder coating technology is evolving as an option to finish a variety of non-traditional substrates like plastics, composites, and molding compounds. In partnership with the American Coatings Association, ChemQuest director Kevin Biller presented a webinar discussing “More than Just Wood—Low-Temp Cure Technology Opens Up a World of New Substrates for Powder Coatings” on July 13. The webinar identified the emerging powder technologies and application techniques that will serve these innovative end uses.
WHITE PAPER: What is Business Cycle Analysis?
Business Cycle Analysis is a vital aspect of economic analysis, guiding decision making for businesses, investors, and policymakers. At ChemQuest, we recognize its importance in strategic planning. However, we have learned through Voice of Customer that many of our clients are not using Business Cycle Analysis in their current forecasting and data analysis.
Our Coatings TraQr™ platform provides a powerful Business Cycle Analysis tool that allows you to track indicators within the business cycle. This gives you a competitive edge by enabling you to make informed strategic decisions ahead of your competitors.
