Rising demand from building & construction and automotive sectors is a key factor driving the global Defoaming Coating Additives Market
Defoaming
coating additives are basic, organic chemical ingredients or liquids
with low surface tension that are added to resins, lacquers, and
paints in order to improve their flow and prevent the pin-hole
formation. During handling and production of industrial liquid,
absorption of air can cause larger bubble marks to reflow and form
foam in fluid that leads to non-optimal filling of production
vessels, which causes problems in the filling line. Addition of
defoaming coating additives breaks the foam formed and helps reduce
the VOC emissions. It also offers improved quality, reduced cost, and
increased productivity. Key features of defoaming coating additives
include excellent dispersion stability, gloss enhancement, and
boosted stain resistance. Defoaming coating additives are widely used
in various industries such as building & construction,
automotive, and wood & furniture as well as in the industrial
sector. Building & construction is expected to be a dominant
segment of the defoaming coating additives market during the forecast
period, followed by the automotive segment.

Report Overview @
Based
on product type, the global defoaming coating additives market has
been segmented into mineral oil, vegetable oil, water-based, silicone
type, and polymer type defoaming coating additives. A mineral oil
defoaming coating additive consists of 85% of carrier oil, 5% of
emulsifiers, and 10% of hydrophobic particles. It is used for
semi-gloss emulsion paints and emulsion plasters. It is not suitable
for higher–quality, aqueous industrial coatings, as it can cause
surface defects. Silicone type defoamer is a coating additive with
low surface tension, which contains poly-siloxanes as the key active
ingredient. Being expensive than mineral oil, silicone type defoamer
is widely employed for formulation of high-quality coatings. When
used with pigment concentrates, it neither reduces gloss nor reduces
color acceptance in high-gloss systems. Polymer type defoamers are
silicone-free products used in solvent-borne systems. Water-based
defoamer is projected to be the dominant segment of the global
defoaming coating additives market during the forecast period, due to
extraordinary characteristics of these polymers such as low VOC
emissions, cost-effectiveness, and easy recyclability. The segment is
likely to be followed by the silicone type defoamer segment.
Furthermore, demand for silicone products is expected to rise in the
next few years, due to their features such as high inertness, low
surface tension, and solubility.
Rising
demand from building & construction and automotive sectors is a
key factor driving the global defoaming coating additives market.
Shift in preference toward water-based defoaming formulations rather
than solvent-based formulations is expected to boost the defoaming
coating additives market in the near future. Rising living standards
and increasing demand for commercial spaces and attractive
residential homes are factors expected to propel the global defoaming
coating market during the forecast period. Defoaming coating
additives are widely used in the automotive sector, due to their
numerous advantages such as wear resistance, reinforcement, weight
reduction, and acoustical improvement. Escalation in raw material
prices and incompatibility with the medium to be defoamed can cause
paint defects such as haze or craters. These factors may hamper the
market growth. However, stringent regulations on solvent-based
systems and environment concerns about VOC emitting products enhance
the opportunities for growth of the defoaming coating additives
market in various applications.
Geographically,
the global market for defoaming coating additives has been segmented
into Europe, Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, and Middle
East & Africa. Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America are
expected to dominate the defoaming coating additives market during
the forecast period. This is primarily due to the rapid economic and
industrial expansion in developing economies of Asia Pacific such as
India, Malaysia, Vietnam, and China. Rising disposable income and
changing consumer preference to luxurious infrastructure in the
region propelling the builders for building infrastructure with high
aesthetic value. The market in countries such as the U.S., Germany,
and Brazil is also expected to notice significant growth, due to
increasing demand for eco-friendly chemical products. Government
initiatives to reduce VOC emissions and the recent advancement in
eco-friendly coating materials help the manufacturers meet the demand
for sustainable products. Furthermore, the automotive sector in
France and Germany experiences high demand for coatings and
additives. Amongst these, defoaming coating additives witness high
demand. This, in turn, has driven the global defoaming coating
additives market.
