Paint biocides market

Paint Biocides Market Rising Demand From Industrial Applications In - Paint Biocides

Rising demand from industrial applications, particularly in paints & coatings, water treatment and personal care coupled with the dynamic expansion of these end-use industries is expected to drive biocides market in the near future.

Increasing adoption of water treatment processes in countries including China, India and Japan is expected to drive demand. Furthermore, growing health awareness is expected to spur demand for clean water and is expected to drive the industry over the next six years.

The paint industry has long been aware of the problems of microbial attack on painted surfaces.

Microbial growth can lead to both aesthetic and physical degradation of the coating or painted surface. In addition to the obvious aesthetic effects of mold, mildew and algae growth, physical deterioration by their enzymes can lead to physical degradation. This degradation can include an increase in porosity of the surface coating or a loss of adhesion to the substrate. Moisture penetration can lead to fungal decay of the underlying wood. Biodegradation is not limited to the surface coating or dry paint films; it can also occur during production and storage of the paint.

A typical biocide-based paint erodes slowly over time, giving rise to a slow, but controlled release of biocides in the water. One of those biocides is tributyltin (TBT). In the 1980’s TBT was the dominating biocide in antifouling paints on leisure boats as well as cargo vessels. However, TBT in the marine environment also produced very serious adverse effects on gastropods and molluscs, e.g., oysters, causing endocrine disruption and rendering non-target organisms sterile. In addition, TBT is persistent and accumulates in the food chain. In 1989 the EU prohibited the use of TBT on leisure boats, but new alarming results suggest that large amounts of TBT still is present in underlying paint layers on boat hulls and is scraped off and accumulated in the soil and sediment.

Rising need for potable water in domestic and industrial applications due to increasing population is expected to fuel demand in water treatment application. In addition, expanding paints & coatings industry as a result of rapid industrialization coupled with infrastructural development in emerging economies is expected to drive revenue growth.

Though the market is relatively fragmented, major players are located in the developed countries.

Demand from the emerging markets is likely to remain robust in the coming five years, due to rising environmental awareness and regulatory reforms related to biocidal products. The major players have prominent presence in the developing countries.
