Industry Trends and Drivers:

• Environmental Regulations and Sustainability Demands:

Increased attention to environmental regulations and sustainability is driving the industry and market growth. The organic coatings that are typically solvent-based often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs contribute to air pollution and present health issues. Governments and regulatory bodies around the world are implementing strict limits to VOC emissions, thus allowing industries to move to greener alternatives. Radiation curable coatings, including ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) curing technologies, provide an option that is solvent-free and has much lower VOC emissions. These coatings usually require less energy during the application process and produce minimal waste, which aligns with sustainability goals. Manufacturers are pushing to move to radiation curable systems not only to comply with stricter regulations, but also to meet the growing demand for green products from consumers. 

• Technological Advancements and Improved Performance:

Progress in UW and EB (electron beam) cure systems is improving the performance and application of radiation curable coatings. New innovations in UV curing technology have improved curing speed, efficiency, and even some properties of the coatings, including hardness, adhesion, and chemical and abrasion resistance. These gains in efficiency and performance have made radiation curable coatings a very attractive option for a variety of industrial applications. Many end-user industries have already adopted radiation curable coatings, for example, coatings related to automotive, electronics, medical devices, and packaging sectors. In particular, in the automotive sector, the fast curing capability of radiation curable coatings provides fast speeds during production initiatives and reduces manufacturing costs while at the same time obtaining durable and high-quality finishes. 

• Growing Demand in High-Performance Industries:

The progress in ultra violet (UV) light and electron beam (EB) cure systems is improving the applicability and performance of radiation curable coatings. New advancements in UV curing technology are making radiation curable coatings faster, more efficient, and even improving some coating characteristics like hardness, adhesion, chemical resistance and abrasion resistance. These improvements in efficiency and performance anywhere the UV or EB process can be integrate these radiation curable coatings are exceptional options for a number of different industrial applications. Many of the end-user sectors have also witnessed the integration of radiation cure coatings, for example, automotive, electronics, medical device and packaging sectors. In noting; particularly automotive sector, where the ultra-speed of some of the radiation cure coatings can add fast production speeds during the production cycle due to the fast cure, and therefore reduced the total manufacturing costs, while simultaneously obtaining durable, high-quality finish.
