Abstract

Paints and coatings are used in a wide variety of diverse applications with the industry typically segregated into architectural, OEM products, and special purpose markets. The paint and coatings industry continues to rebound following the downturn in 2008. Mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures continue to dominate the industry and environmental regulations continue to be a driver of technology. Markets for powder coatings and UV/EB coatings continue their robust growth. New coatings technologies continue to be explored with a growing interest in bio-based resin systems derived from plant sources. Printing inks are applied through a number of different processes on a broad variety of substrates, each having their own requirements. Pigments are important components of paints, coatings, and printing inks.
