Self-Healing Coating Technology of the Powder Coatings Industry Is Attracting Noteworthy Investments from the Players

Multinational companies of the industrial coatings market started to invest in the R&D of coating technologies in the area of materials research. Consequently, a slew of innovations is proliferating in the powder coatings industry. One such innovation is the self-healing coating technology. This technology partially or completely heals the mechanical damage incurred due to corrosion or aging of the product. Unlike existing protective coatings such as resins which have severe performance limitations, even with improved formulation cannot halt the exposure of the substrate once the damage caused due to corrosion arise making more delamination of the coating. However, self-healing additives in the anti-corrosive coatings arrest the corrosion propagation. In addition to the aforementioned benefits, this technology offers amplified service-life and mitigate cost-concerns of the end-users. Therefore, industries across multiple sectors are transitioning from user applied low-performance self-healing coatings to professional high-performing self-healing coatings. Besides, this self-healing technology in the industrial coatings market is already widely implemented in the automotive sector of South America and other regions around the world. As a result, innovations are augmenting in the South American powder coatings market. Furthermore, in the automotive market, the increasing usage of relatively fragile composites acts as a strong growth driver for the development of self-healing technology in the powder coatings market. Owing to all these advancements, this self-healing properties of materials are gaining huge traction in the South American industrial coatings market.
