The epoxy resin market size was estimated at USD 11.85 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 12.65 billion in 2024. At a CAGR of 6.76%, it is expected to reach USD 18.74 billion by 2030. The development of the epoxy resin market faces several limitations and challenges, such as volatility of raw material prices, stringent environmental regulations, and sensitivity to external conditions. 

Methylene chloride is one of the 10 chemicals that EPA has evaluated and determined to pose an unreasonable risk to human health for certain conditions of use.

The energy-efficient, cost-effective way to convert the greenhouse gas into a wide range of chemical feedstock, spearheaded by NUS scientists, achieves cost reduction of about 30%.

588 exhibitors showcased their latest products and technology at the 20224 American Coatings Show in Indianapolis. Read PCI’s show wrap-up article to get a glimpse of just some of the new products available to coatings formulators.

In the coatings industry, achieving optimal anti-corrosion protection while being resource efficient can be a challenge. Learn about a new solution for achieving the highest anti-corrosion protection while minimizing material usage.   

This article demonstrates two separate methods for achieving burnish-resistant coatings: amine functional silica, which fits easily into existing manufacturing processes; and polysiloxane/silica dispersion, which requires a more complicated process to manufacture.

Human stewardship of the Earth is undergoing a metamorphosis—and for very good reasons. The planet is getting hotter, and the situation is getting worse. How can the paint industry, whose products literally cover the Earth, re-engineer its products and processes toward a more sustainable future?

Using coatings and composites can revolutionize the maritime industry by simultaneously reducing capital expenditure and greenhouse gas emissions. In a case study to reduce propellor cavitation, a super metal coating was used to build up the worst affected areas, and then a super metal glide coating was brush applied to provide overall protection.

A textured epoxy coating for rebar can offer increased bond strength, damage tolerance, and corrosion resistance for both horizontal and vertical concrete projects. 

Using this predictive tool can raise the certainty on vessel performance and provide greater confidence on economic and sustainable value achieved through the operational cycle, which is a key challenge for the industry while regulations are driving higher efficiency.
