Implementation of strict VOC regulations is fostering the growth of the sol gel nanocoating market
North
America is projected to dominate the global sol gel nanocoating market and this
is attributed to the growing demand from end-user industries such as medical
devices, automotive, and electrical & electronics industries. Moreover, the
increasing implementation of strict VOC emissions regulations that restrict the
use of solvent-based coatings is again projected to augment the growth of the
sol gel nanocoating market. For instance, the U.S. EPA regulates VOCs at the
Federal level in 40 CFR 59, which is the National Volatile Organic Compound
Emission Standards for Consumer and Commercial Products such as Aerosol
Coatings, Architectural Coatings, etc.
In
October 2020, Protective nanocoating company actnano announced that it has
raised $12M in a Series A funding round.
The
shifting focus of manufacturers towards developing multi-functional coatings
that offer a wide range of properties is fostering the growth of the sol gel
nanocoating market. It helps in
improving surface energy modification, increase scratch resistance, high
abrasion resistance, enhance moisture control, and photocatalytics of the
polymers, metallic, papers, ceramic, wood, and fibers materials. Increasing
demand for Sol gel nanocoating for end-user industries such as aerospace and
aviation, automotive, and medical industries is again expected to augment the
growth of the Market. This coating helps in smoothening of surfaces and reduce
manufacturing cost. Furthermore, the growing demand for these coatings across
the healthcare industry as it reduces germ concentration and adhesion on
medical devices is further anticipated to foster market growth.
Sol
gel nanocoathing is a process that uses solvents and dyes to bond together or
join two materials together, such as plastics, metals, or even fabrics. It is
very popular in industries such as packaging and coatings because it can resist
a lot of harsh conditions and it can also provide excellent chemical resistance
properties. Sol Gel nanocoathing can be used for all kinds of applications that
involve solute bonding. The nanotechnology that has been used in sol-gel
nanocoating allows bonding of several materials together with nearly 100%
efficiency. Sol gel nanocoathing can be used for powder coating, ultra-light coatings,
annealed metals, and even fiber coating, among other things.
Moreover,
nanotechnology processes are used to make things that can withstand heat and
extreme chemicals, so sol-gel nanocoating is very popular in the refrigeration
industry.
