Paint Additives
- European Profiles
Europe is well established as an important
global production centre for paint additives. As agents,
coating additives perform functions as diverse as the
control of application properties, speed of drying,
pigment separation, flame retardancy, preservative action,
thermal insulation, water repellency and biocide applications.
IRL's paint additives research and reporting
covers in unique detail the opportunities across the
European coatings marketplace, specifically focusing
on the subjects of performance enhancing additives,
industrial biocides and flame retardants.
Environmental issues have become increasingly
important within the paint additives industry, and in
addition to general compliance with VOC regulations,
the European Union's Biocide Product Directive (BPD)
now adds further complexity and cost considerations
to production in the biocide sector of the paint additives
industry.
Health and safety considerations such
as these are fully detailed in our definitive research
on performance enhancing additives. The report provides
essential information for market study, prefaced by
a broad overview, a technical background and the paint
industry's most significant additives listed by type.
The market review section includes statistics on appearance
and surface effect additives, biocides, cure control
additives, durability enhancers, flow modifiers and
surface active agents. The document further discusses
market trends and influences in paint additives, while
also listing the leading suppliers to the European paint
and coating additives industry - highlighting the major
European suppliers, plus those of South Africa and the
USA.
Our research on the flame retardants
market is finely focused and comprehensive, specifying
market volume, value and current application trends.
It reviews the consumption of flame retardant chemical
types by country and end-user sector, and concludes
with a directory of the major manufacturers and suppliers
of flame retardant chemicals. The final report on paint
additives is an equally in-depth analysis of today's
opportunities in Europe's industrial biocides sector.
