Bio-based Coating Materials and Research Trends

Bio-based coatings are environment-friendly and formulated using biodegradable and organic compounds. They are derived from renewable materials from sources such as plants, marine, and forestry materials. Recent trends reveal the significant increase in the use of bio-based materials in the paints and coatings sector.

In the upcoming years, bio-based coatings are anticipated to emerge as the fastest-growing segment in the bio-based product market. Bio-based raw materials used to formulate coatings are classified as follows:

Vegetable-oil- and fatty-acid-based materials such as calendula oil, lesquerolic acid, etc.
Natural polymers such as cellulose, starch, chitosan, etc.
Bio-based monomers such as succinic acid, styrene, etc.
Bio-based solvents and additives such as ethanol, para-xylene, etc.

Researchers have recently emphasized the potential use of bio-based coatings in various industries due to their significant benefits, which include:

Reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during production of bio-based coatings
Reduction of VOC content
Reduction of dependence on fossil fuels
Biodegradability

Due to the various benefits, bio-based coatings have found its applicability across various industries such as:

Having learned their significance and growing popularity, let's take a look the recent research trends in bio-based coatings:
