| Résumé : |
In the United States last year approximately $1.9 billion of paint were sold to the car and light truck industries, with another $225 million sold to the component manufacturers. Improvement in the perceived surface quality of decorated automotive components and an increased demand in environmental regulations has required a shift in paint technology over the past decade. In North America, the percentage of finishers applying low solids solventborne paint continues to decline. The percentage of finishers applying powder remained about the same as last year, although the percentage is expected to grow within the next two years. The percentage of finishers applying waterborne coatings declined slightly last year, although it is expected to increase modestly to just under 34% in 2 years. The estimated growth of paint technology in Europe also indicates a sharp decline in the use of low solids solventborne paint. High solids solventborne, reactive systems (to include two-component products), and powder are expected to see the largest increase in growth over the next two years. This paper attempts to explain the shift in paint technology utilized in the automotive industry brought on by increased environmental regulations and a more educated consumer. It also attempts to describe future needs in the industry as perceived through growing global commitment and external drivers in converging technologies. The future of automotive manufacturing processes may well lie in the same realm of that considered futuristic success in computer engineering. This paper will attempt to describe the convergence of technologies, e.g., the coming together of technologies that used to be separate. Through the assimilation, improvement, and generation of new technologies, the coating community, as a major supplier to the very large automotive industry, will continue to thrive, grow, and maintain its environmental stewardship in the global marketplace. |
