Water-based PTFE coatings held the largest share in PTFE Coatings Market in 2021 and it is expected to grow with a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period. Water-based coatings are surface coatings which contain 80% water and a small quantity of other solvents such as polyvinyl ether and glycol. Solvent based PTFE coatings offer excellent safety towards corrosion; however, they can’t be used on flammable substances such as wood due to the usage of flammable solvents in their manufacturing. Water-based PTFE coatings do not have this problem, which is why they have been gaining recognition over the years particularly as an environmentally friendly alternative to solvent-based products. Water-based coatings are also known as polyurethane coatings. They contain a reactive mixture of a solvent with isocyanates and other ingredients which form a polymer coating. These coatings are environment friendly, easy to maintain and also offer high performance levels for corrosion protection on metal substances. The demand for water-based coatings have boost the market growth due to its properties such as anti-corrosion, anti-fouling, and self-cleaning properties. These coatings have also increased consumption in industrial wood applications such as flooring and furniture. The water-based coatings help the wood and wood substrates from scratches, corrosion, and chemical abrasion. Thus, the increase in demand for water-based coating is boosting the global PTFE Coatings Market growth.
PTFE Coatings Market Segment Analysis – By End-User Industry
The construction industry held the largest share in PTFE Coatings Market and it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period. PTFE coatings provide protection against friction, water, and corrosion, it is used widely in many different industries. Fluoropolymer coatings offer great protection against the strident of substances and very few can affect the strong carbon-fluorine bonds that give these coatings such distinct properties for expansion of joints, slide bearings, bridge bearings etc. Modern chemical processes include substances at various temperatures and pressure, thus consider PTFE coatings for most of the products. Non-stick coatings provide wonderful release residences for moulding and forming techniques and in some applications, where a process or substance is not accepted to keep up a correspondence with a metallic or probably impure substrate, fluoropolymer coatings will act as an inert, physical barrier between the technique and the substrate or to prevent any permeation and chemical attack.

PTFE Coatings Market Drivers
Surge in Non-stick cookware and Food Processing
PTFE coating are
widely used in cookware. It is used as an inner coating material in non-stick
cookware. Increase in food processing industry results in growth of PTFE
coatings. This precise polymer coating prevents food from sticking within the pans
during the cooking procedure. Such cookware is also easy to wash. It decreases
the product maintenance cost, increase the time period and throughput, and also
protects the equipment purity. According to Invest India, the food processing
sector in India is expected to reach US$535 billion by 2025-26. Due to high
purity and biofilm resistance like characteristics, PTFE coatings deliver more
value when used in the linings of metal vessels, pumps, hinges, piping, gaskets,
and valves. Belts and conveyors made up of PTFE coatings are also used in mass-produced
foods like bacon, hamburgers, chicken, and eggs. The coatings include scope of
advantages like productivity, higher performance, and efficiency. Thus, the
surge in demand for non-stick cookware and increase in food processing is
driving the growth of global PTFE Coatings Market.
Demand for Household Appliances and Packaging
PTFE coatings are used in almost every household appliance such cooking utensils, iron and iron board covering, wiper blades, heat lamps, and many more. The properties of PTFE coatings are high temperature handling and low friction solution. The packaging industry uses PTFE coatings in two basic areas. The first area relates to low friction and dry lubrication coatings for packing machinery. The second area is heat sealing, pre-heat and then forming equipment. According to Plastic Industry Association of India, India is the fifth largest country in packaging industry and is growing about 22-25% per annum. Thus, the growth of PTFE coatings is also inclined positive. The properties of PTFE coatings like high resistance to heat, non-stick, and abrasion capabilities, make these coatings ideal for machines that produce packaging.

PTFE Coatings Market Challenges
Consumer inclination towards Sustainable Coatings
As some products where PTFE coatings
are used are processed under high pressure and temperature, thus, when PTFE
coatings are overheated, it releases mildly toxic fumes which are quite
harmful. The coatings which haven’t been applied accurately leads to poor
performance of the product as well as it makes it sticky instead of less slippery.
The green pans on the other hand uses an electro-chemical surface at the
exterior which helps it look new and stainless. In 2007, a company named
GreenPan introduced healthy ceramic non-stick appliances made up of thermolon
to the world. Instead of plastics, these coatings are made up of sand. In less
than 15 years, these pans have become very popular among healthy non-stick
cooking utensils. The greenpan material heats faster than regular coating pans
and does not release toxic fumes if overheated. Thus, the presence of
eco-friendly coating may hinder the demand of global PTFE coatings.
