REPORT DESCRIPTION
Elastomeric coatings are generally used to provide tough exterior finish to concrete , metal , and plastic substrates . These coatings are widely applied on masonry wall surfaces and roof tops such as concrete tiles , blocks , stucco , and other exterior insulation finishes . Elastomeric coatings have a greater film thickness in comparison with conventional paints & coatings . Significant elasticity , toughness , flexibility , and surface adhesion are some of the key attributes of elastomeric coatings . These coatings are usually applied as double coats so as to prevent cracking of coating film as well as the substrate underneath .
Moreover , elastomeric coatings can be suitably applied on plastic surfaces of automotive body components , as they are highly durable and keep the aesthetics unaltered . Acrylic , polyurethane , polysulfide , butyl , silicone , and vinyl polymers are the key elastomeric coatings available in the global market . Additionally , waterborne , solvent-borne , and high solids / radiation cured systems are the key technology segments of the global market . Building & construction , automotive , and textile were the major end-users of the global elastomeric coatings market in 2015 .

Global demand for elastomeric coatings is currently driven by its growing usage in the building & construction industry . Building & construction has been the largest end-user of elastomeric coatings since the past few years . Elastomeric coatings are employed for bridging the cracks formed on exterior concrete walls , roof tops , and stucco , thus preventing water from penetrating into the interior constructed walls . Furthermore , these coatings provide resistance from settling of dirt , dew formation , and are stable under varying climatic conditions such as acid rain . Acrylic , silicone , and polyurethane polymers are the frequently used elastomeric coatings in the building & construction industry . These polymers have high surface tension that cause beading of water droplets and stop them from entering the interior concrete layers . Apart from concrete substrates , elastomeric coatings are suitably applied on infrastructure steel rebar .
Steel is highly hydrophilic , which increases the chances of corrosion and carbonation when in contact with moisture and heat . Due to the hydrophilic nature of steel , elastomeric coatings are preferred due to outstanding durability and excellent
