Emulsion coating is a type of paint or another form of surface protection. It can be applied to wood, metal, plastic, and concrete surfaces. Emulsions are an acidic mixture that contains water along with pigment particles suspended in oil-based varnish. Emulsions come in two forms: solvent-based and latex emulsion coatings. Solvent-based emulsions use volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as the binder agent; whereas latex paints don’t have any VOCs - they rely on synthetic rubber polymers for their adhesion qualities. The coating is applied by means of a spray-paint gun or roller and dries quickly after application. It typically dries to a matte finish and is not suitable for aging paint jobs that need something more durable, but it can be applied over the top of gloss coatings as an economical alternative.

On the basis of type, emulsion coating is segmented into acrylics, styrene-butadiene latex, vinyl acetate polymers, and other emulsion polymers.

Acrylics

Acrylics emulsion coatings are clear or slightly opaque, fast-drying paints that use the acrylic polymer as a binder. They're highly durable and can be applied virtually anywhere paint is traditionally used (except for wood). Acrylic-based coatings have been shown to outperform latex-based products in terms of durability, glossiness, UV protection, and heat resistance.

Styrene-Butadiene Latex

Styrene-butadiene latex emulsion coating is elastic, rubberized paint that has a glossy finish. It provides excellent adhesion and durability to surfaces such as metal, wood, or aluminum. This type of product can be used for outdoor applications without cracking because it contains natural rubber which gives the toughness of the material against ultraviolet light exposure.

Vinyl Acetate Polymers

Vinyl acetate polymers (VAP) emulsion coatings are used to impart water and heat protection for wood, concrete masonry units (CMU), steel framing systems, paper products, metal substrates such as aluminum cans in integrated can manufacturing plants. The benefits of VAP-based coating include high durability; easy cleanability with a detergent or strong alkaline cleaner; low surface energy that resists dirt accumulation and facilitates cleaning; good scrubbable properties on wet surfaces.

On the basis of application, emulsion coatings are segmented into paints and coatings, paper & paperboard coatings, adhesives, carpet backing.

Paints & Coatings

Emulsion coatings are used in paints and coatings. They form a protective barrier for the surface of the material which is being coated. Emulsions can be applied to surfaces such as paper, wood, or metal by spraying on it using an airless sprayer. The most common application of emulsion paint is with cars; they provide protection from corrosion when sprayed onto car bodies before painting them. The coating acts like a primer surfacer that seals out moisture and provides a smooth surface for subsequent layers of automotive paint to adhere to. Emulsion coatings are often used as the topcoat in paints and varnishes. They provide an even, glossy finish that can offer enhanced protection from water or moisture damage.

Paper & Paperboard Coatings

Emulsion coatings are a water-based solution that can be applied to paper and paperboard surfaces. These coatings help protect the surface from liquids or other substances, such as food oils, which may damage the material. Emulsions are also used in printing processes because they create an even layer of ink on both sides of the paper when it is run through a press. The type of emulsion coating most likely depends on its application- for example, parchment might require an acrylic coating due to high acidity levels while wallpaper with low sheen would need vinyl acetate polymers or styrene-butadiene latex-based products so that they don't react to light sources.

Adhesives

Emulsion coatings are used in adhesives as a binder. Emulsions provide the adhesive's backbone and can help it withstand high temperatures when curing, which makes them good choices for hot melt adhesives like acrylics or urethanes. The emulsion coating is usually designed to blend well with the polymer type of the adhesive being used.

Carpet Backing

Emulsion coatings are a form of coating used in carpet backing. They create the interface between the fibers and the backing material, providing appropriate adhesion for strength and endurance to meet with wear and tear during installation or as part of routine maintenance. Emulsions also provide protection against water penetration while improving softness and sheen. In some cases, emulsions can be applied onto plush carpets to protect them from spills that could lead to permanent staining (e.g., wine) due to their high absorbance abilities; this is usually done before installing the carpet tile on an existing flooring surface so it works best when moisture is at its lowest level possible prior to application.

On the basis of region, the global emulsion coatings market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. In the North American region, acrylic emulsion coatings are the largest type of application in terms of revenue share and market size due to their high penetration rates. The emulsions are available as a prepackaged product for quick use by professionals or consumers at home without any special equipment necessary. They can be used on vertical surfaces with excellent adhesion properties that form an invisible protective barrier against water-based spills and stains from reaching the underlying surface.

Styrene-butadiene latex (SBL) applied onto paperboard coating ranks second among all types in this regional segment owing to its cost advantages over traditional solvent paints like alkyds which have been widely used for waterborne coatings.

The global emulsion coating market is witnessing a major shift in the applications of coatings, which are now being used as an important component of renewable energy technologies due to their low-emission properties. The paper and board industry has been undergoing significant transformation with increased demand from emerging countries towards sustainable packaging solutions that help reduce resource consumption across the value chain.

Growth Factors

The growth of the emulsion coatings market is driven by various factors, such as urbanization and the rising demand for paints in developing countries. The urban population has increased over time due to globalization, which has led to an accelerated development process accompanied by significant infrastructure investments in many emerging economies. For instance, in China alone there are more than 400 cities with populations exceeding one million inhabitants; these complexes have a major influence on global environmental change and demand for products like emulsion coatings that protect buildings from corrosion or mold growth. Over the years this will drive up both production volumes and consumption rates globally. Furthermore, people's choices about their living environment also play a role: People who can afford it prefer high-quality materials indoors because they want clean air indoors because they can afford it or simply because they want to spoil themselves. Examples of this trend are the ever-increasing demand for vinyl flooring or furniture made from MDF, which is a type of particle board with an acrylic finish that makes them resistant to moisture and scratches.
