Global Architectural Coatings Market: Overview
Architectural coatings are used to coat buildings and homes. Mostly, they are designated for specific uses such as roof coatings, wall paints and deck finishes. Each architectural coating is anticipated to provide certain decorative, durable and protective functions. Different test protocols may be applied in the evaluation of an architectural coating depending upon the type of end uses such as residential and non-residential. Architectural coatings are different from that of other industrial coatings. Architectural coatings can be defined as the organic coatings intended for on-site End-User to interior or exterior surfaces of residential, commercial, institutional or industrial buildings. They are considered the protective and decorative finishes applied at ambient temperatures. The architectural coatings industry has undergone great change over the past few years. These changes have been introduced with the help of paint formulators, end users and environmental regulators. The commonly employed resins in the architectural coatings include acrylics, polyurethane, vinyl/styrene, alkyds, etc. and the major technology is solvent-based technology. However, water-based technology’s growth potential is projected to be high and it is expected to replace solvent-based technology.
