Moreover, many industries prefer solvent-based coatings to avoid chemical reactions owing to their quick-drying nature. For example, companies like Jamestown Coating Technologies produce industrial paints that are solvent-based and more durable when compared to water-based coatings. Thus, the nature of quick-dry in solvent-based coatings benefits their application in humid environments and thereby contributes to the growth of the market. Solvent-based coatings release volatile organic compounds (VOC) into the environment, causing environmental damage and affecting human health. VOCs are carbon compounds that become gas at room temperature and are the main reason for air pollution. Governments across the world are coming up with different regulatory acts to curb the emission of VOCs. For instance, to reduce the emission of VOC, the Hong Kong government has implemented a regulation that restricts products that exceed the standard emission of VOC in the country. Thus, the emission of VOCs into the atmosphere from solvent-based coatings limits the growth of the market. The adoption of PET technology is increasing as it enables the homogenous distribution of mineral particles during painting.
