Paints And Coatings Market Emerging Trends: What Are Industry Leaders Focusing On?
Leading firms in the paints and coatings market are concentrating on creating novel products, like innovative biosurfactants, to boost environmental friendliness and elevate product efficacy. These innovative biosurfactants are environmentally conscious surface-active agents sourced from natural origins such as plants and microorganisms. Their contribution to product performance comes from improved emulsification and stability, coupled with their biodegradable and non-toxic nature. An example is the launch in September 2024 by Evonik Industries AG, a chemical company from Germany, of two new biosurfactants, TEGO Wet 570 Terra and TEGO Wet 580 Terra, designed for use in coatings and ink formulations. These particular products enhance substrate wetting and improve pigment dispersion in industrial coatings, ensuring optimal color attributes and excellent corrosion resistance. For printing inks, they quicken the wetting process for pigments and fillers, simultaneously aiding sustainability through lower VOC levels and increased biodegradability of the finished item.
