Delivering high efficiency for titanium dioxide may be news to some. But
BASF introduced acrylic emulsion polymers to reduce titanium dioxide
in paint formulations way back in 2003. Today, with TiO2 prices at record
highs, Acronal Optive binders can help you achieve even greater savings.
Smarter formulations and lower costs: at BASF, we create chemistry.

genuine recession. For certain, higher unemployment rates could lead to increased
civil unrest.
Since China is the primary country that
is driving the global economy its important for those who may be contemplating
investing in China to understand the overall health of that economy. Normally, to
judge the health of any countrys economy
its important to look at ve very important variables: Unemployment Rate; Ination Rate; CPI-Consumer Price Index;
GDP-Gross Domestic Product Growth
Rate; and Balance of Trade). Obviously,
there are many other important nancial
indicators but these ve usually provide
the observer with a reasonable picture of
how things are going.
I. Unemployment Rate
The nonfarm unemployment rate in
China was last reported at 4.1 percent in
the rst quarter of 2011. Historically (i.e.,
2002 until 2010), Chinas Unemployment
Rate averaged approximately 4.15 percent. It reached a historical high of 4.30
percent in December of 2003 and a record
low of 3.90 percent in September of 2002.
Like the U.S. data, the real number of employed (listed as 30 million by the authorities) is probably much higher since a
large number of unemployed Chinese, like
their U.S. counterparts, have simply given
up trying to nd jobs. Some put the true
number of unemployed Chinese at close
to 35-38 million.
China
March of 1999 to 27.7 percent in October of 1994. Over the past sixteen years
the inflation rate in China has averaged
around 4.25 percent.
III. Consumer Price Index
China authorities report that consumer
prices rose 6.1 percent in September,
down from Augusts 6.2 percent but well
above the governments predicted target
of four percent for the year. Food price
inflation held steady at Augusts level of
13.4 percent. During most of 2011 persistent high inflation has impacted consumer prices despite government moves
to rein in soaring food and housing
prices, which officials feared could cause
social unrest as more and more citizens
grow angry at higher costs for basic staples. According to government statistics,

Bottom Line
Although China is experiencing a bit of a
slowdown and inationary pressures on
its economy it still offers more growth potential for most businesses than other
countries in Asia Pacic or Europe and the
United States. However, for the new
comer to China, expect to nd higher
than expected labor, raw material and
general infrastructure costs along with increased competition from both international and local companies.
In essence, the risk associated with
doing business in China is somewhat
higher today than encountered by earlier
entrants. This is due in part to the emergence of a huge internal demand for consumer goods fueled by a growing middle
class as opposed to a somewhat insulated
economy based mostly on exports.

The paint and coatings industry is also one
whose recipes tell only a part of the story. We
produce many high-solids suspensions, with
many ingredients, using many process steps all
of which are embodied in the product on the
shelf. But, even with the product in hand, and
even with the publicly available Materials Data
Safety Sheet, a competitor is sorely pressed to
duplicate the coating in many cases. The more
complex the coating formulation, the more intricate are the process steps, the greater the number of minor additives, the greater is the task of
the copyist.
In some cases, we patent these novel compositions and processes. However, in many others,
like the master brewer we keep the good luck
spit to ourselves as a closely held trade secret,
and aggressively try to prevent its disclosure.
Sometimes, we fail at the latter. This is why we

he global coatings market is worth roughly $90 billion.
The decorative segment is the largest single component

This segment represents about half of the industrys total volume, but less of the value. The smaller percentage in value has to
do with the lower price of decorative coatings compared to the

The global economy denitely plays a big role but we are doing
things that make us more effective and competitive to meet the
challenges. It is difcult to say that 2012 will be a good year but
we are hoping our actions and plans will put us in a competitive
mode at least to stay ahead of the competitors.
Shepherd Color looks for 2012 to be an exciting year, said
Mark Ryan, marketing manager, Shepherd Color. We will be
launching a number of new products that range from extensions
and improvements over our current offerings, to new and exciting
products and chemistries that greatly expand our color space.
Lansco Colors had a strong year and record sales results
driven by a greater acceptance of our value proposition and a
deeper appreciation for our high level of on-time-delivery, said
Lavieri. The last two years have been a showcase of the effectiveness of pigment companies supply chain management and
we have been told that ours is excellent.
There are several trends reinforcing the feeling of optimism
for pigment manufacturers, although supply issues do remain a
serious challenge. One key positive trend is the increased use of
high performance and special effect pigments.
The increasing demand for high performance, special effect
and heat management pigment solutions represent key market
trends, said Lee. BASF has a robust portfolio of pigments that
provide unique performance characteristics and benets that address each of these three trends. High performance pigments
(HPP) enable enhanced durability, opacity and higher hiding, and
are compatible across broad application areas. Special effect pigments provide exceptional brilliance and ultra-high chroma
needed for the creation of novel designs and product differentiation. Heat management pigments provide solar energy management solutions, including near-infrared (NIR) reective
pigments, NIR transparent organic pigments, and stir-in pigment
dispersions and additives for transparent applications.
One major trend continues to be the strong positive usage
of high performance and effects pigments in virtually every
market, said Yazdani. Another key trend and challenge we
saw in 2011 was the sustained high costs of raw materials.
After two years of rapid decline in demand, we saw a significant increase in demand in 2010 and 2011. Unfortunately due
to raw material shortages and increased environmental and regulatory compliance costs, we saw a significant amount of cost
increases in raw materials.
According to Ryan, raw material availability and costs will
always be an issue, but the company manages these challenges
through supply-chain management and clear conversations with
customers about the realities of the situation. Without a doubt
rising costs in certain metals and particularly Tio2 have created
signicant challenges, he said. We also are always looking at alternative technologies and products to meet market needs.
In 2012, we expect that the magnitude of supply issues that
have led to these price increases will decline, Ryan said. Capacities for some raw materials should increase as incremental
new capacity is restarted. However, where there are still fundamental imbalances in supply and demand, we would expect to
see continued tightness in 2012.

in North America.
Traditional markets such as automotive and the industrial segment will continue to be primary consumers of high
performance and special effect pigments,
said Lee. Similar to last year, we see interior and exterior decorative applications
as a high growth area for HPP based on
increased interest for materials with improved durability, opacity and weatherfastness properties by our customers.
Used in a wide range of end market
applications from automobiles, house
exteriors to electronics and many more,
special effect pigments address demands
for brand and product differentiation as
the range of aesthetic color values continues to expand, Lee said. Further, we
anticipate growth in demand for heat
management pigments as rising energy
costs and global warming concerns increase the need for solar management
solutions within architectural and construction applications. CW

Growing
Paint Additives
Market
Environmental pressures and the growing shift toward water-based paint systems are
fueling demand for paint and coating additives, providing tremendous growth potential
for additives suppliers.
by Tim Wright, Editor
38 | Coatings World
Global demand for paint additives has grown steadily over the
last decade. Much of this increase in demand has come from the
Asia Pacic region and this trend is expected to continue in the
near future, with Asia Pacic expected to account for more than
40 percent of the global demand for paint additives in 2016.
The global paint additives market was dominated by rheology
modiers in 2010 followed by biocides. The high need for biocides
in Asia, due to a strong focus on architectural paints compared to
other regions, has made biocides a signicant segment in the global
paint additives market, according to GBI Researchs new report,
Paint Additives Market to 2016 - Rheology Modiers and Biocides to Drive the Market, published by MarketResearch.com.
Global paint additives demand increased from 843,190 tons
in 2000 to 1,007,590 tons in 2010 the report said. The global demand for additives is expected to reach 1,331,700 tons in 2016.
Rheology modiers in 2010 led the market with a demand of
300,850 tons. This was followed by biocides, with a demand of
220,510 tons. The third largest product segment in Asia is surfactants, with a demand of 193,610 tons in 2010. The other two
segments, driers and foam control agents, had demands of
145,470 and 147,150 tons, respectively.
In 2010, the global paint additives market catered for a demand of 1,007,590 tons, with Asia-Pacic having the largest
share of the demand with 35.4 percent, followed by North Amer-
www.coatingsworld.com
January 2012
ica and Europe with demand shares of 32.1 percent and 20.7
percent, respectively. The remaining shares were held by the
South and Central American and Middle Eastern and African
markets, with eight percent and 3.8 percent, respectively.
China, notable for its fast growing economy, is set to lead the
way in the global paint additives market. Already growing faster
than the major developed countries, though currently slowed down
by the economic recession, China has emerged as the second largest
market (after the U.S.) in the global paint additives market. In
2010, it accounted for 40.8 percent of the total Asia-Pacic paint
additives market by volume. It is likely that China will overtake
the U.S. in the next decade by growing at a rate of 14.1 percent by
volume. By offering good growth opportunities in the paint additives market, China has become the most attractive and lucrative
destination for Western European and North American producers.
For example, The Lubrizol Corporation is expanding its additives testing capabilities with a new technical services laboratory initially based on the campus of Jilin University in Zhuhai,
Guandong, China.
The lubricant and fuels market in China is growing at a rapid
pace, in line with the expanding domestic automobile industry.
Our investment in testing capabilities in China and throughout Asia is signicant because it will allow us to collaborate and
improve the quality and efciency of our work on a highly global
scale, said Phil Shore, Lubrizol vice president of testing.
The testing laboratory in Zhuhai will offer advanced technical
services for lubricant and fuel additive customers and OEMs in China.
The new additives laboratory builds on Lubrizols long established presence in Asia and will support Lubrizols ongoing
sales and manufacturing efforts in the region. In 2010, Lubrizol
announced the construction of a new lubricant additive production facility in the Zhuhai Gaolan Port Economic Zone, located
within 20 miles of the Jilin University campus. The new manufacturing site in Zhuhai will also provide opportunities for future
expansion of laboratory infrastructure in China.
Evonik has also opened its rst research and development
center for additives for paints and coatings in Asia. A single-digit
million US dollar amount has been invested to set up the Tego
Innovation Center in two locations, Singapore and Shanghai,
as part of the global Evonik innovation network. The Tego Innovation Center will cater to manufacturers in the paints and
coatings industry in India and Asia.
Evonik expects the Asian market to generate the largest market
growth for the paints and coatings industry in the coming years,
said Thomas Haeberle, the Evonik executive board member responsible for segment resource efciency, which oversees the coatings
and additives business unit.We are anticipating the greatest demand
in the segment for environmentally-friendly coatings. Our new Tego

that has wax-like properties called Ceraour 1000. Because it is
based on renewable raw materials, it represents an interesting alternative to natural and synthetic waxes. The latter, for instance,
are based on nite, petrochemical resources. Thanks to biotechnology, the BYK additive, by contrast, is produced with the aid
of bacteria. This opens up a new perspective on the use of
biotechnology in the coating industry said the company.
Another advantage is the versatility of Ceraour 1000. The
additive is suitable for all systemsaqueous, radiation-curing,
solvent-free and solventborne. It provides efcient matting and
also involves a soft-touch effect. Furthermore, systems in which
Ceraour 1000 is used have a high degree of transparency and
improved scratch resistance.
Bacteria change starch and glucose into a biopolymer that,
through modication and micronization, results in Ceraour 1000.
With Ceraour 1000, BYK is systematically pursuing its Greenability concept, developing additives for eco-friendly systems.

CHINACOAT2011
The coatings and ink industries have put tremendous emphasis on the Chinese market. Even during the global recession
that heavily impacted most of the world, the Chinese coatings
industry grew, with total output of China coatings manufacturing reaching 7.6 million tons in 2009, up 14 percent from 2008.
On the paint and coatings side, the largest international
manufacturers all have built major operations in China, and as
Chinas market continues to grow, paint makers like AkzoNobel, the worlds largest, continue to invest more dollars in their
China operations.
In October 2011, AkzoNobel announced it is investing approximately 60 million to increase the production capacity of
its automotive and aerospace coatings business in China. This
investment will provide additional momentum for the companys
accelerated growth strategy of achieving revenue of $3 billion in
China by 2015. The story is similar at PPG, Henkel, SherwinWilliams, DuPont and BASF.
The trends are the same on the ink side, as industry leaders such
as DIC Corporation, Flint Group, Toyo Ink Group, Siegwerk and
Sakata INX have all been heavily involved in the Chinese market.
In the midst of a global nancial meltdown, China now is
the worlds fastest-growing economy, said Raymond Ho, chief
executive of Hong Kong-based show organizer Sinostar International Ltd. It is the worlds second largest producer and consumer of coatings and fourth for ink production.
Ho added that China is now the largest producer of powder
coatings in the world, and automotive and architectural coatings
are the two fastest-growing market sectors.
China is now the largest producer of powder coatings in
the world, representing more than 28 percent of the estimated
global market of 1,500,000 tons, Ho said. Recent innovation in curing technology, such as UV and NIR, are broadening market potential by opening new application areas in
wood, plastics, papers, MDF, etc. We thought that this topic
deserves an independent zone for the convenience of both exhibitors and visitors.
There was plenty for attendees to learn from during CHINACOAT2011. Technology Corner was a new event, featuring
informal presentations on case studies, novel technology, insights
and marketing strategies related to the following themes: Nan42 | Coatings World
otechnology in Surface Coatings; Advanced Technologies for Industrial Metal Industry; and Architectural Coatings: Sustainability + Performance.
As part of its diverse offerings, CHINACOAT also every year
presents a look into the coatings industry in neighboring countries, and this years focus was on Turkey. Ahmet Yigitbasi, vice
president of Bosad - The Association of the Turkish Paint Industry, and president of Yasar Coatings Group, a sub-division of
Yasar Holding A.S., since 2001, presented an overview of the
Turkish paint and coatings industry.
Yigitbasi said the Turkish coatings industry, which has almost
doubled in size over the last 10 years, is now valued at USD$1.8
billion. Decorative paints hold the largest share of the market at
40 percent. The share of the other coatings subsectors are spread
between the metal industry at 18 percent, automotive industry at
12 percent, printing inks at 10 percent, furniture at nine percent,
powder at seven percent and marine at four percent.
To provide the opportunities of training and learning for
industry professionals, three Technical Workshops were held
at the exhibition. Workshop I focused on Design and Optimisation of Coatings & Inks Formulations; Workshop II presented High Value-Added Functional Coatings and Inks; and
Workshop III offered an overview of Emerging Technologies
in Polymer and Coatings.
Effective technology transfer will always remain the key feature of CHINACOAT, Ho said. Industry players, both domes-

First-Time Exhibitors
The majority of exhibitors at the American Coatings Show are old stalwarts.
But plenty of new companies and institutes sign up as well, seeking to take full
advantage of the ACS' vast opportunities for making new contacts. We asked two
first-time exhibitors about their expectations.
introducing newcomers
Kaz Darehshori,
chemical distributor, Aal Chem
"This is Aal Chems first time as an exhibitor at the American Coatings Show.
We are excited about attending
the show, not only to support
our customers and their industry, but to showcase Aal Chems
product lines and the suppliers
we represent. As our company
continues to experience great
amounts of growth, we hope to increase our exposure and to expand
our business to new customers, as
well as welcome the opportunity to
partner with new suppliers.
We are very pleased about our
booth. Our design incorporates the
display of a car a customized 1969
Chevrolet Camaro. The exterior was
built using materials from our suppliers:
epoxies and curing agents for the base,
as well as UV absorbers, light stabilizers, isocyanates and pigments for the
base and clear coat. It will really make
our booth stand out."

Coatings Technology
offering an extensive series of textbooks
Vincentz Network and the American Coatings Association have collaborated to
make the world of coatings technology more accessible to you. With brand new titles
and new editions of textbooks on coatings technology, we have a program that is designed for both specialists as well as newcomers to the field of coatings. A selection
of available titles is presented below.
european coatings handbook
The 2nd edition of the handbook covers
the entire spectrum of coatings formulation in a single volume. It contains a
practice-related structure from chemistry to process engineering, from safety
and health to quality control and regulatory issues necessary for todays manufacture and application of coatings. The
handbooks topicality in all aspects of
coatings composition, application methodology, quality assurance, environment
and industrial health, and safety is highly
useful.
Prof. Jamil Baghdachi: "This book is a
comprehensive and valuable reference
source, since it discusses major areas
such as raw materials and fundamental
chemistries and properties, coatings
functional coatings
Coatings are mainly applied on surfaces
for decorative, protective, or functional
purposes, but in most cases it is a combination of these. Functional coatings possess, besides the traditional properties
of a coating, an additional functionality.
This additional functionality may be diverse, and depend upon the actual application. Typical examples of functional
coatings are easy-to-clean, self-cleaning,
anticorrosive coatings
Consciously departing from physicsbased corrosion literature, this volume
presents one of the very few coatingsspecific approaches. This book presents
the latest insights into the quality and
chemistry of anticorrosive surfaces, the
proper way to prepare them by conversion treatment, the function of resins and
anticorrosion pigments in paints, and
novel concepts in corrosion protection.
As an added bonus, all the standards
and directives mentioned in the text are
grouped together in their own chapter for
a better overview.

The Technology is
Available Today
In the architectural and industrial
segments, very low- to zero-VOC levels
can be achieved for waterborne coatings, Joan Schuller, General Manager,
Dow Coating Materials, North America
Region, explains.
What are the latest trends in waterbased coatings?
Joan Schuller: For the architectural segment, achieving higher-performance,
lowering titanium dioxide loads due to
market tightness, and the drive to zerobased VOC coatings are still major drivers that are pushing manufacturers to
reformulate. The industrial segment is
more conservative and has been slower
to adopt waterborne technologies. But as
they watch the technology improve, leading asset owners are making the switch,
prompting others to realize that they
dont have to sacrifice performance. So
its a slow shift but a steady one.
sive testing, it often gives them the confidence to take the next step.
How much do current regulations influence R&D activities for WB coatings?
Joan Schuller: Helping customers meet
regulations is always part of our R&D efforts. But our focus goes beyond that.
Addressing customers current formulation challenges is one key area. And
we always work on solutions that address a market need they might not have
thought about. Our hiding technologies,

Stephen Miranda: Most coatings manufacturers are aware of their environmental responsibilities with respect to factory
emissions and have taken steps to reduce
emissions. The main problem area we see
is that small batch production is still done
in open tanks. Simple lids for these tanks
are relatively inexpensive and easy to retrofit to existing dispersers. It is still common to see horizontal mills running with
one open tank into another open tank. Because the quality and consistency of raw
materials for coatings are more or less
reliable, the dispersion process for most
coatings is relatively easy to grind.
Therefore, for small batches, basket mills
or immersion mills, etc., are very environmentally friendly because the entire
process is or can be enclosed and even
purged with inert gas if desired. With our
control system, we can run the PSM Basket Mill by means of a temperature control
set point, which increases and decreases
shaft speeds based on a target set point.
With a lid, jacketed tank or even just a 55
gallon form, the temperature of the batch
is controlled, which reduces solvent vaporization.
