The Global Radiation Cure Coatings Market size is projected to reach USD X.X billion by 2028 from USD 1.2 billion in 2018 at a CAGR of 2.3% over the forecast period from 2021-2028. The global radiation cure coatings market is driven primarily by an increase in demand for UV energy-based coating solutions especially acrylics due to their excellent performance properties such as superior durability and scratch resistance which are required for automotive surfaces including body panels, bumpers, etc., other benefits being a high gloss, solventless coatings, and faster curing times. In terms of volume, the automotive headlight coatings segment is expected to account for the largest share in the global radiation cured coatings market by 2028 owing to growth in demand for UV-cured coatings in this application area.
Radiation cure coatings are advanced coatings that use radiation to cure the coating material. The radiation can be ultraviolet (UV) energy, visible light, or low-energy electrons. This type of curing produces a very hard and durable finish, making it ideal for high-performance applications. Radiation cured coatings have many benefits over conventional coating methods. For example, they can be applied to a part in its final configuration because the radiation only affects the exposed areas. This saves time and money compared to other coatings where pre-production finishing is required due to an additional step during the production of applying paint or primer prior to curing it with heat. Radiation cure coatings can also be applied to a wide variety of substrates. This makes them suitable for nearly every application, including wood coatings and automotive headlight coatings as well as overprint varnishes and photopolymer printing plates.
On the basis of Type, the global radiation cure coatings market is segmented into UV energy, visible light, and low energy electrons.
UV energy radiation cure coatings are a type of coating that uses ultraviolet (UV) light to cure the coating. This type of radiation cure is faster and more efficient than other methods, such as traditional solvent-based coatings. UV energy radiation cure coatings can be used on a variety of surfaces, including wood, metal, and plastic. UV radiation cure coatings work by using ultraviolet energy to initiate a curing reaction. This reaction causes the coating to harden and form a protective barrier. The UV energy will also cause any pigments in the coating to dry, which results in a colorful finish.
The use of UV radiation is very popular because it is an efficient way to cure coatings. It also produces very little heat, which is beneficial for delicate surfaces. In addition, UV radiation can be used to cure coatings in a short amount of time, which makes it a popular choice for industrial applications. UV radiation cure coatings are available in three different types: energy cured, photoinitiated and self-curing. Energy-cured coatings are the most common type and they cure when exposed to UV energy. Photoinitiated coatings cure when they are exposed to both UV energy and light. This type of coating is popular for applications that require a high level of gloss or clarity. Self-curing coatings cure without any external stimuli and are the most durable type of radiation cure coatings.
Visible light radiation cure coatings are a type of ultraviolet (UV) energy, visible light, and low electron beam curable coating. Visible Light Radiation Cure Coatings have high optical efficiency and provide good scratch resistance properties to protect the surface from scratches during the manufacturing process or transportation. Visible light radiation cure coatings work by using a controlled process that exposes the photoinitiator and polymer on the substrate under ultra-violet (UV) or visible lights. The finished product is then heated to form an adhesion bond between two substrates, which can also be referred to as “bonding” or “curing.” The curing process is complete when the photoinitiator and polymer are converted into a solid film. This type of radiation cure coatings has gained immense popularity in recent years because it offers many advantages over traditional solvent-based coating methods. It is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and produces little to no waste. In addition, radiation cure coatings are more durable and can withstand extreme temperatures and weather conditions.
Low-energy electrons cure coatings are a type of radiation cure coating that uses low-energy electrons to cure the coating. This type of curing is typically slower than other types of radiation curing, but it can provide a more consistent and durable finish. Low-energy electron cure coatings are often used in applications where high-quality finishes are required, such as in automotive headlight coatings. Low-energy electron beams can be applied directly to the surface of the substrate or coated materials for proper processing. This process uses an electron gun to produce a beam of low-energy electrons that is directed at the coated material. The energy from these electrons will cause the radiation-curable coating to polymerize and form a solid film. In general, this technology is used for coatings that require a very short curing time or substrates that are difficult to heat.
On the basis of Application, the global radiation cure coatings market is segmented into wood coatings, automotive headlight coatings, overprint varnishes, and photopolymer printing plates.
On the basis of Region, the global radiation cure coatings market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa.
