Waterborne coatings use water as a solvent to disperse a resin, thus making these coatings eco-friendly and easy to apply. Generally, waterborne coatings comprise up to 80% water along with small amounts of other solvents, such as glycol ethers. Conventional coatings have VOC solvent content of about 84% (and 16% solids), while a waterborne base-coat comprises of 70% water (and 20% solids) and 10% solvent. Stringent regulations on the use of VOC have driven the growth of waterborne automotive coatings. The California Air Resources Board (ARB) approved a suggested controller extent for automotive coatings in October 2005. The purpose of the SCM is to increase enforceability and consistency among air district rules and to accomplish VOC emissions reductions which started in 2009.
Waterborne coatings offer various advantages such as good resistance to abrasion and heat, excellent adhesion properties, low flammability and toxicity due to low HAP emissions and VOC levels, more economical as compared to solvent-borne coatings, no need of thinners, additives or hardeners and less coating is needed to cover the same surface area as compared to solvent-borne coatings. These coatings are used to cover the internal as well as external parts (hood, bumpers etc) in an automobile.

Water-soluble paints consist of water-soluble resins which completely dissolve in water. The resins used are synthesized by polymerization or polycondensation reactions in an organic medium. The resins used for manufacturing this type of coatings are alkyds, polyacrylates, polyesters, epoxies and epoxy esters. These paints offer high gloss, excellent corrosion protection, and stabilization. Water based alkyds have versatile applications as they can be diluted with water to any viscosity. These alkyd coatings can be applied with dip or spray
Waterborne Automobile Coatings Market Outlook – Rising Demand Eco-friendly materials to be the Major Market Driver
Asia Pacific and North America are expected to be the most potential markets for Waterborne Automobile Coating manufacturers. Asia Pacific is projected to witness relatively high growth in terms of value over the forecast period. This is mainly attributed to the anticipated growth in automotive industry, especially in emerging economies such as China and India. According to IBEF the US$ 300 billion will be generated by the Indian automotive industry by 2026. This trend is expected to be followed over the forecast period. India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) is a Trust established by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Department of Commerce in collaboration with the Government of India with the purpose of promoting and creating international awareness of goods manufactured in India.
