Surface Coating is in use since long back israpidly increasing with the development of civilization. There has beenconsiderable impact in this field. Surface coating technology specializes infinding out engineering solutions to all the critical production problems relatedto coating the products on a continuous and consistent basis in your productionplant. Surface coating can be defined as a process in which a substance isapplied to other materials to change the surface properties, such as colour,gloss, resistance to wear or chemical attack, or permeability, without changingthe bulk properties. Production of surface coating by any method dependsprimarily on two factors: the cohesion between the film forming substances andthe adhesion between the film and the substrate. The scope includes all typesof coatings and surface modification techniques (including physical vapourdeposition, chemical vapour deposition, electroplating and surface modificationby directed energy techniques). Of particular emphasis are the emergingadvanced processes such as thermal spraying, sputter deposition, activatedreactive evaporation, ion plating, molecular beam epitaxy, ion implantation andpulsed laser surface deposition. Contributions range from original scientificarticles concerned with applied research or direct applications of coatings toreviews of current technology in specific areas.
Market Outlook
Surfacecoatings market size was estimated at more than 800 kilo tons in 2014 and islikely to exceed 1 million tons by 2023 with expected gains of more than 3%.
The global acrylic surface coating market wasestimated at $24,212.1 million in 2015, and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of5.2% during 2016-2022.
The global paints and coatings market is predictedto expand at a 5.0% CAGR during the period between 2015 and 2020. Rise in thepaints and coatings industry in the coming years is predicted to have apositive impact on the global specialty coating market in the years to come.
Demand for coatings is projected to rise 4.7percent annually through 2018.
