Industry Trends and Drivers:

• Environmental Regulations and Sustainability Demands:

As organizations increasingly contemplate their footprint on the environment and sustainability, a growing concern about environmental regulation is driving the market in a positive direction. Solvent based coatings most often contain volatile organic compounds (ea.) that create pollution in the air and threaten their health. Governments and regulations across the world are setting lower limits and regulations around VOC emissions to help essentially corner businesses into common sustainability practices. Radiation curable coatings, with ultraviolet (uv) and electron beam (eb) curing eliminate solvents, have reduced VOC emissions often used less energy while creating waste to achieve global sustainability benchmarks. Radiation curable systems are attractive options for manufacturers to not meet regulations but also meet consumer 'green' preferences and there are strong movements to consider environmental footprint in the automotive, electronics, and packaging sectors.

• Technological Advancements and Improved Performance:

Advancements in radiation curing technologies are positively impacting the performance and functionality of radiation curable coatings. Advances in UV and electron beam (EB) technology allow for a faster cure time, greater efficiency, and coatings with better properties (hardness, adhesion, and resistance against chemicals and abrasion). The advancements and improvements in curing technologies makes radiation curable coatings an attractive option for many industrial applications, particularly automotive, electronics, medical devices, and packaging. In the automotive segment, faster cures can accelerate production lines and reduce the costs of production, while still providing a durable, high-performance coating. In advanced electrical applications the ability to cure a coatings on sensitive and at times complex structures allows the coating to perform in a loyal manner. Additionally, the capacity to create formulations to try and achieve targeted objectives adds to the utility of radiation curable coatings.

• Growing Demand in High-Performance Industries:

There are market opportunities for growth resulting from a surge in demand for high performance applications. Some of the industries servicing high performance applications including automotive, electronics, aerospace and consumer medical devices, require coatings with more rigorous performance metrics in relation to toughness, chemical resistance, and aesthetics. In addition, radiation curable coatings can give top performance characteristics related to fast cure, adhesion and the formation of durable protective coatings. The automotive and electronics industries have a number of applications for radiation curable coatings; e.g., clear coats, primers, and functional coatings to improve the aesthetic appearance and design life of vehicles; as well as to protect sensitive electronics components from contaminants while still ensuring reliable activation of the components when called to duty. The aerospace industry utilizing lightweight, high-performance and UV resistant radiation curable coatings has the permanence of performance but also benefits the (aviation sector) fuel economy. The medical device sector has also used radiation curable coatings on surfaces, so medical device surfaces are biocompatible and sterilizable.
