Aqueous coating is a clear and rapidly drying water-based coating that provides a high-gloss or matte surface that offers protection to printed pieces. The aqueous coatings offer more scuff resistance and prevent the formation of dirt and fingerprints. Aqueous coatings are becoming a sustainable alternative to solvent-based coatings as they are safer for the respiratory system and are incredibly eco-friendly. These coatings are generally used for waterproofing, plaster additives, damn proofing, and filling up the cracks. Not only are these coatings environment friendly, but the products having aqueous coatings are also rapidly recyclable and leave no harmful residue. There is little to no waste produced after the application, and the cleaning process generally does not contain the use of toxic cleaning agents.
Aqueous Coating Systems Market |
The Aqueous coating systems market is primarily propelled by the soaring demand for construction and robust infrastructure in developing and developed economies. The extensive application of aqueous coatings in the automotive industry offers remarkable finishing and renders the product highly durable. Aqueous coatings in the electronic industry offer robust protection to the electronic equipment from moisture, high temperature, dust, and toxic chemicals. Moreover, the coatings offer a protective layer to the postcards or papers and heighten the look of the catalog covers, brochures, and presentation folders. Aqueous coatings also work cohesively with numerous inks and glues, and the coatings generally offer seamless writing and printing experience.
