What Trends are Shaping the Epoxy Primer Market?
The emergence of technological innovation is a prominent trend within the epoxy primer industry. Key players in this sector are investing in updated tech solutions to maintain their market foothold. For example, PPG Industries, a leading American Paint and coating manufacturer, introduced a green-friendly zinc epoxy powder primer named PPG PRIMERON™ Optimal, in August 2024. This innovative product, now patent-pending, boasts a highly developed zinc formula that surpasses the transfer efficiency of regular zinc-rich primers, reaching a rate of 85%. The primer delivers corrosion resistance conforming to stringent ISO C5 criteria, making it ideal for high moisture environments and severe conditions. Moreover, it possesses a substantially lower specific gravity (2.0 vs. 3.6) compared to conventional zinc-rich primers, simplifying the application process and reducing the necessary material, leading to considerable savings for consumers.
