Raw Materials 2025: Despite Challenges, There is Light at the
January 2025 saw essentially across-the-board raw material increases in the range of 15%-25%, with a bucket of additives as high as +50%, depending upon the specific products in the bucket.
The Demand for Coatings Raw Materials to 2025
The global coatings raw material market is estimated to be valued at approximately $63.5 billion on 34.3 million metric tons of materials. Raw Materials Market Analysis Raw materials used in the manufacturing of paints and coatings represent a relatively small (~5%) but extremely important component of the $4.5 trillion global chemicals industry.
Plasticizers in Paint & Coatings: Uses, Types and Selection
ATBC is considered as a safe, low toxicity, alternative plasticizer demonstrating improved biodegradability and biochemical properties, as compared to phthalates. ATBC is widely used now for NC coatings as well as NC food packaging inks & packaging of medical products. One of the applications of ATBC is in lacquers for toys. Dioctyl Adipate (DOA)
Raw materials: Coatings industry under heavy pressure
Raw materials: Coatings industry under heavy pressure The European coatings, printing inks and artists' paints industry is under intense pressure due to rising raw material prices, according to CEPE. Transportation costs are increasing due to the sharp rise in oil prices. Image source: Quelle Lorenzo Cafaro - Pixabay (symbol image).
global plasticizers atbc in coating materials high quality
Actually, one of the main ATBC application is substitution of Phthalates plasticizers (Acetyl Tributyl Citrate is a Phthalate-FREE, bio based plasticizer). .Plasticizers in Paint & Coatings: Uses, Types and Selection . In order to ensure high efficiency, the plasticizer should be able to penetrating in the resin at film-forming conditions.
- What is ATBC used for?
- Actually, one of the main ATBC application is substitution of Phthalates plasticizers (Acetyl Tributyl Citrate is a Phthalate-FREE, bio based plasticizer). ATBC, CAS: 77-90-7, is a safe, non-toxic plasticizer, biodegradable, mainly used as plasticizer of PVC, cellulose resin and synthetic rubber.
- Why is ATBC a good plasticizer?
- Because of the growing market request for Phthalate-FREE plasticizers and environmental friendly materials, ATBC is the best and more competitive choice in an increasing variety of applications. ATBC is almost colourless and odourless oily liquid, free of foreign materials, insoluble in water but soluble in alcohols and organic solvents.
- Is ATBC a phthalate-free plasticizer?
- ATBC is almost colourless and odourless oily liquid, free of foreign materials, insoluble in water but soluble in alcohols and organic solvents. Compared with benzoates plasticizers, ATBC is perfectly odourless. Compared with other Phthalate-FREE plasticizers, ATBC is biodegradable, biobased and it is not a kind of hydrogenated phthalate.
- What is acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC)?
- ATBC, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, CAS: 77-90-7, is a plasticizer which can easily substitute those plasticizers to be phased out by the EU by February 2015. Actually, one of the main ATBC application is substitution of Phthalates plasticizers (Acetyl Tributyl Citrate is a Phthalate-FREE, bio based plasticizer).
- Why should you attend coatings for Africa 2024?
- "This year's Coatings For Africa 2024 edition has proven to be exceptional, featuring a multitude of exhibitors showcasing new products and raw materials. The Business Presentations Hub has been hosted to engaging and enlightening discussions. I am thoroughly delighted with my experience at the show." Chemist, Nancefield Paints (pty) Ltd (Visitor)
- Why is exhibiting at coatings for Africa important?
- Chemical & Intermediate Sales Specialist, Engen (Exhibitor) Exhibiting at Coatings for Africa is important because it gives us the opportunity to connect with customers and suppliers we don’t regularly see. It enables customers to gain a better understanding of our role in the market and allows us to showcase the other divisions within our company.
