274 million pounds of resins were used in 1998 to manufacture coatings for plastic substrates. The automotive market is the largest complex and the key driving force in the development of new coatings and resins for use on plastic substrates that are currently used in the interior and exterior portions of the automobile. The following article gives an survey on the market segments and shares showing the growth rates and turnovers for the year 1998 and in 2003. Market segments for plastic substrates include automotive-exterior OEM, automotive exterior-tier, automotive-interior-tier, flooring, coated fabrics, business machines, furniture and appliances, plastic films, magnetic media, hot foil, toys and sporting goods. Coatings for plastic substrates include 2K low-solids, 2K high-solids, radiation cure, solventborne high-solids, solventborne low-solids and waterbornes. Resins used in coatings for plastic substrates include acrylic thermoplastic, acrylic thermosets, alkyds, cellulosic, epoxy, polyester thermoset, urethane thermoplastic and urethane thermoset. The growth rate in 2003 in the market segment for plastic substrates is expected to be 5 %.
