Defoaming Coating Additives Market

Market Overview:

The global defoaming coating additives market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.40% during 2022-2027. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.

Defoaming coating additives, also known as defoamers, assist in reducing or preventing the formation of foam in paints, inks, resins, lacquers, and adhesives. They can also help improve adhesion and increase resistance against moisture and salt water. As a result, they find extensive applications in the automotive, construction, and furniture industries across the globe. Some of the commonly used defoaming coating additives are insoluble oils, alcohols, glycols, polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS), silicones (Si), and stearates (C₁₈H₃₅O₂).

Defoaming Coating Additives Market Trends:

At present, there is a rise in the uptake of infrastructure projects around the world. This, in confluence with significant growth in the construction sector, represents one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Apart from this, foam is a phenomenon that frequently occurs during the production and application of coatings and printing inks. The formation of foam interrupts production processes, reduces the adequate volumes in the production plant, and leads to unnecessary downtimes. It can also cause the ink reservoirs to overflow and impair ink transfer from the printing cylinder to the substrate. In addition, dried foam leaves surface defects in the paint film. Consequently, the demand for defoaming coating additives is escalating worldwide as they have surface-active properties and the capability to spread rapidly on foamy surfaces. Besides this, vegetable oils are increasingly being used in the formulation of defoaming coating additives as they are renewable raw materials. This, coupled with rising environmental concerns, is facilitating the growth of the market. Other factors, including the increasing sales of automobiles and the rising requirement for architectural coatings, are projected to stimulate the growth of the market.
