Hence, the increasing demand for acrylic resin is expected to drive the industrial coatings market during the forecast period.

Solvent-Borne technique is extensively used in the Industrial Coatings Market. A solvent-borne industrial coating is a liquid protective layer that is primarily composed of organic compounds and applied to a material's surface to prevent corrosion. Solvent-borne industrial coatings are typically more resilient than water-borne coatings during the curing of the coating. Solvent-borne industrial coatings cure due to a chemical reaction between oxygen in the atmosphere and the constituents of the solvent-borne industrial coating, and not by the evaporation of water. This makes humidity less of a factor for solvent-borne industrial coatings. These coatings have one major advantage over other industrial coatings. They are less susceptible to environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity during the curing phase. Humidity can actually prevent the water in a water-based coating from evaporating, making them impractical in some climates.
