According to a new research report released by MarketResearchFuture, a market research company, the global consumption of polyurethane coatings is expected to reach 3.7812 million tons by 2023, with an average annual compound growth rate of 7.3% from 2016 to 2023. At the same time, it will also significantly increase based on market value.

The main driving factors for the polyurethane coating market are the increasing demand from the automotive industry in the Asia Pacific region, as well as North America, Europe, and the Middle East. In addition, the growing demand in the construction and aerospace industries will also drive the growth of the polyurethane coating market.

On the other hand, polyurethane coatings are particularly suitable for protecting electronic circuits as they are a product that combines flexibility, toughness, and performance improvement functions. At the same time, this product has excellent mechanical and dielectric properties, and can provide a strong coating with high wear resistance, while promoting the rapid growth of the polyurethane coating market.

The global polyurethane coating market can be divided into solvent based, water-based, spray coating, powder based (solid, acrylic modified), etc. according to the technical field. Among these technological fields, building polyurethane powder coatings are a major development direction as they can be applied to multiple fields.

Driven by the increasingly strict environmental protection measures, the rapid development of building polyurethane powder coatings is mainly due to their almost zero volatile organic chemical (VOC) content, which makes them a better coating choice among environmentally friendly alternatives in various fields and drives the overall consumption growth of the polyurethane coating market.

2、 Application field of building polyurethane powder coating

Polyurethane powder coatings for construction have excellent weather resistance, physical and mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance. The coating is bright, full, wear-resistant, scratch resistant, solvent resistant, has good leveling properties, and strong adhesion. It has gradually become the mainstream of powder coatings, and its proportion in powder coatings is increasing.

Metal tools and transportation equipment

The metal furniture coating industry is one of the first fields that powder coatings entered, and the mixed powder coating system is the main product type. Building polyurethane powder coatings are generally mainly used in the outdoor furniture field; The ordinary metal surface coating industry is a large market for powder coatings, accounting for about 50% of the entire market share.

The home appliance industry is also an important application area for powder coatings. In the United States, applications in household appliances account for 17% of the entire powder coating market. In the United States, due to the priority given to smooth coating effects, the application of building polyurethane powder coatings in household equipment is more common.

In Europe, many aluminum alloy materials used in buildings are coated with building polyurethane powder coatings. The advantage is that in the next 5-7 years, the gloss retention rate can reach 65% to 85%, and after 10 years, the gloss retention rate will still reach 50% to 65%. After 10 years, the coating thickness will only decrease by 2-3 μ m; m。

2、 Development Trend of Polyurethane Powder Coatings for Buildings

Architectural polyurethane powder coatings not only have high decorative properties and excellent physical and mechanical properties, but also have comprehensive chemical resistance, especially outstanding resistance to yellowing, weather resistance, and light resistance. It combines the advantages of epoxy coatings and acrylic coatings, and compared with the pure polyester powder coating system cured by TGIC, it has a huge advantage of being non-toxic and harmless.

The vitality of building polyurethane powder coatings is reflected in their superior performance, economy, and other advantages. Compared with other powder coatings, they have better comprehensive performance and are gradually being widely recognized, and their proportion is also increasing.
