The objectives of this study are to provide clients with a total understanding of the specific chemicals used as performance additives in the formulation of industrial coatings. Each of the additives identified has been analyzed as to its chemical content, consumption in 1989 and projected consumption through 1994 based on technologies and environmental regulations at work that are impacting on the industrial coatings formulators. Additional objectives are to identify additives producers and suppliers, their market shares, pricing and products. To gather all of the information and data required to prepare this study, 125 people were contacted at 70 companies and agencies throughout the United States. Contacts were made with personnel at industrial coatings formulators, additive producers and suppliers, coatings users, technical trade associations, trade journals and government agencies. The scope of this study included the investigation of chemical additives used by the United States formulators of industrial coatings including: Product Finishes (OEM) This included coatings prepared for original equipment manufacturers (OEM) to meet conditions of application and end use. These coatings are applied as part of the manufacturing process. Special Purpose Coatings These coatings are formulated for transportation (automotive) after market applications as well as for stock goods. They are formulated for special applications and conditions such as extreme temperatures, chemical exposure and severe environmental conditions. This study excluded additives used in the production of coating resins or binders. Many of the additives identified were found to have multiple functions in coating formulations. Those performance additives investigated include: Antifoams/Defoamers Corrosion Inhibitors Inorganic Organics Crosslinking Agents Anticratering/Levelling Mar Proof/Anti-Abrasion Light Stabilizers Adhesion Promoters-Silanes Acid Catalysts Driers Thickeners/Associative Rheology Modifiers Antiskinning Agents Biocides/Antimicrobials Fungicides/Mildewcides Antifoulants Dispersants Water Based Solvent Based Subject Page Number Objectives of Study i Methodology i Scope of Study ii Summary iii Industrial Coatings Shipments 1 Coating Trends 3 Automotive OEM Coatings 3 Container, Can, Closure Coatings 6 Powder Coatings 8 Powder Coatings Needs 12 Wood, Composition Board, Furniture, Fixtures 13 Coil Coatings 14 Appliance Coatings 16 Auto Refinishing/Machinery Refinishing 21 Additives Cross Linking Agents/Curing Agents/Hardeners 23 Opportunity For New Cross Linkers 24 Anticratering/Levelling Agents 32 Thickeners and Associative Thickeners 37 Opportunities For New Associative Thickeners 44 Requirements For Suppliers of Associative Thickeners 44 Rheology Modifiers 45 Corrosion Inhibitors 50 Potential Opportunities For Aqueous Based Corrosion Inhibitors 54 Adhesion Promoters 56 Adhesion Promoter Needs 60 Light Stabilizers 61 Dispersants 66 Mar-Proof/Anti-Abrasion/Anti-Block Agents 74 Defoamers/Antifoams 79 Biocides/Antimicrobials (In Can Use) 84 Fungicides/Mildewcides (In Film Use) 88 Antifoulants 92 Acid Catalysts - Straight and Blocked 95 Driers 102 Antiskinning Agents 107 Composite Profile of Additive Suppliers 111 Sales Volumes 111 Company Strengths 111 Expenditures 111 Salesmen Compensation 111 Salesmen Background 112 Product Development 113 Structure 113 Sales Methods 113 Product Uniqueness 113 Resales 114 Industrial Coatings formulator Purchasing Attitude Toward Resin/Additive Supplier 115 Appendix - Contact List 116-119 The purchase price for this study is $5,000 ($US) The purchase price includes three (3) copies of the study.
