1 We see several trends in DTM coatings related to sustainability and the environment, including the focus on reducing VOC emissions. New technologies such as waterborne, solvent-free and high solids epoxies are replacing standard solvent-borne coating options. In the next five years, we expect a very significant increase in water-borne DTM binders based on two-component epoxies. In Europe, these systems are already the reference in applications such as transportation (e.g. railway) and OEM automotive parts and accessories. In 2017, very large markets, e.g. container coatings in China, will adopt and convert to water-borne, and this trend is expected to extend ...
