Low Temperature Powder Coatings Market Challenges

Difficulty in maintaining the storage stability of low-temperature curing powders might affect the growth of the market

The difficulty in maintaining the storage stability of low-temperature curing powders might hamper the growth of the market. Low-temperature curing powders generally have a low shelf life of around six months. The low shelf-life issue surfaces from the higher tendency of premature curing due to the presence of the low-cure catalyst, especially when the weather is hot, leading to the requirement of refrigeration. Proper storage allows the use of low temperature curing powders in regions with high ambient temperatures and enables to extend the shelf life of low temperature powder. As per the March 2020 product datasheet report by Netherland based DSM, low temperature cure powder must be stored indoors in the original, unopened and undamaged containers in a dry place at storage temperatures below 30 C. This requirement of specific storage and maintaining the stability of low-temperature curing powders might affect the growth of the market in the forecast period.
