The coalescing agents market is likely to be massively aided by paints and coatings industry owing to large scale adoption of paints and coatings in the construction spectrum. As demands for eco-friendly, non-toxic paints and coatings witness massive demand upsurge, global coalescing agents market will most likely remain overtly remunerative in the forthcoming years. Building and construction industry is a high profit business pocket on the back of government backed construction activities favoring infrastructural development.

Emerging countries across APAC and MEA are likely to serve as potential markets for coalescing agents market. Stringency in rules and regulations concerning environmentally sustainable paints and coatings for judicious adoption is emerging as the major driving force. Market participants are rigorously gearing up to offer best possible coalescing agents for water-borne paints and coatings. There is tremendous initiative being taken by governments and mindful consumers to accommodate eco-friendly substances with no environmental implications.

Tackling VOC mediated toxicity is a major challenge in paints and coatings space. However, one potentially effective means to reduce high VOC and associated toxicity is to integrate high value coalescing agents with very high boiling point. However, limitations such as compromised performance on the lines of reduced dirt pick-up resistance is a major challenge.

Market participants therefore are taking to improved coalescing agents that have visibly high performance in dirt resistance. The substance is witnessing ready adoption in outdoor paints and coatings that are designed for minimum VOC, low surfactant leaching and better latex film formation.

Water borne paints and coatings continue to be amply beneficial across a host of end-use applications such as decoration. Therefore this newly developed coalescing agent allows tight packaging of polymer particles and water evaporation. Developments as such in paints and coatings industry are estimated to favor high value returns and steady growth in global coalescing agents market in the forthcoming years.

Market participants in coalescing agents market space are fast experimenting with novel ways to enable high end coalescing agents. Coalescing agents are designed to lower VOC and improve coalescent efficiency. Coalescing agents are used to improve humidity besides also keeping up with high block resistance besides keeping VOC count negative. Zero VOC paints and coatings make up for most water borne emulsions involving PVA, SBR, acrylic and hybrid systems and polyurethane dispersions. These factors allow market participants to have a sustainable lead in global coalescing agents market. Highly improved coalescent agents that are used for latex paints that eventually offer maximum film finish with low levels of coalescent agents. Despite opposing conditions such as weather limitations and porosity of substrate high end coalescing agents render sturdy performance.

Hydrophilic coalescing agents are showing signs of rampant adoption as opposed to popular counterparts through the forecast tenure. These hydrophilic coalescing agents are subcategorized into water soluble and partially water soluble. However, between the two coalescing agents, hydrophilic coalescing agent is likely to be most extensively adopted based on their high efficiency, water solubility in low and medium conditions as well as water evaporation. With strides in paints and coatings industry led by substantial advances in building and construction endeavors, coalescing agents market is likely to witness rife growth opportunities in the foreseeable future. Various coalescent agents are alcohol ester based latex paints that comply with diverse weather conditions, substrates as well as porosity levels. Other additional benefits offered by coalescing agents to popular paints and coatings include novel color development, washability, flexibility on thermal needs as well as mud cracking resistance. In actuality, a coalescing agent is essentially a makeshift temporary plasticizer used for a film forming polymer. A coalescent agent is a substance that usually makes the polymer soft during fusion in order to make a continuously running film.

A coalescing agent mainly acts as a plasticizer for latex emulsions which tends to lower the glass transition temperature of the latex polymer, making it volatile. Essentially, coalescing agents must complement three main criteria beginning with mainly making it into an active solvent. An ideal coalescent is expected to have a low evaporation level, typically lower than water too. An ideal coalescing agent or filter is expected to meticulously isolate varying liquids from across a liquid stream. It also aids in gaseous particle separation to enable minimal contamination. Several separation practices take place such as moisture separation from moisture laden air streams, lubricating machining as well as ventilation.
