Industry Trends and Drivers:
- Environmental Regulations and Sustainability Demands:
Market growth is being spurred by increasing attention on environmental regulations and sustainability. It is well-known that conventional solvent-based coatings typically present a health hazard because of their emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are significant contributors to air pollution, so that governments and regulatory bodies around the world are enforcing stricter limits on VOC emissions so that industries will be encouraged to adopt environment-friendly alternatives. They also need energy-saving applications and waste minimization measures, in which the application of radiation curable coatings, such as ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB), can be considered as another solvent-less solution to reducing the VOCs emission. Therefore, manufacturers are moving to change from solvent curing to radiation curable systems not only because of compliance to regulations but also to consumer demand for greener products.
- Technological Advancements and Improved Performance:
Advancements in radiation curing technologies have made significant changes in the performance and applicability of radiation curable coatings. Innovations in UV and electron beam (EB) curing systems speeded up the curing time, increased efficiency, and improved coating properties (hardness, adhesion, resistance to chemicals, and abrasion). All these technological improvements make radiation-curable coatings attractive for many industrial applications such as automotive, electronics, medical devices, and packaging. In the automotive industry, the quick curing time reduces the cycle time on a production line and improves the cost of manufacture while providing high-end finishes that are very hard-wearing. In electronics, accurate curing guarantees performance on sensitive components. Furthermore, varying formulations to the specific requirements has increased how far radiation curable coatings can go with their versatility.
- Growing Demand in High-Performance Industries:
The market is benefitting from the rising demand from various high-performance industries. Such industries, including automotive, electronics, aerospace, and medical devices, require coatings that perform excellently in durability, chemical resistance, and aesthetic appeal. The strict specifications of such coatings are satisfied by radiation curable since they cure quickly, possess excellent adhesion, and can form strong protective layers. Clear coats, primers, and functional finishes to improve the appearance and longevity of vehicles are used in the automotive industry, such as these coatings. Moreover, within the electronics sector, radiation curable coatings protect the components from environmental effects and make certain they operate reliably. In aerospace, the benefit of these coatings is high-strength and lightweight coatings that tend to the fuel economy and overall performance. Furthermore, the medical device industry makes use of radiation curable coatings for biocompatible and sterilizable surfaces.
