After EMEA, the industry wass dominated by Asia Pacific in terms of production, and is expected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period. Resulting from this, production of polyurethane paints and coatings substantially increased. Hence use of polyurethane dispersion having very limited VOC emission, gained importance. The limit for VOC emissions was set to 50mg organic carbon concentration per m 3 f air in most of the countries. In 2010, limitations were set in Europe on the emissions of VOCs by the paints and coatings used for various industrial applications. In terms of output, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) account for the major consumption polyurethane dispersion market. Polyurethane Dispersion Market for paints and coating: Regional Analysis Polyurethane is rapidly gaining importance in the construction industry on account of its ability to offer durability and resistance against corrosion and weather. In addition to ships and automobiles, polyurethane clear coat is also used extensively in the production of coats for pipeline, floor and balcony, building and roads. Polyurethane paints are used in ship and automobile construction using polyurethane clear coat. They are also used in painting and coating of metals, wood, plastics glass and textiles. Since then, demand for polyurethane paints and coatings has increased significantly. Polyurethane dispersion has replaced the previously used solvent-based binders as they are more environment friendly as the latter used to use volatile organic chemicals (VOC) which causes serious threat to man and nature. In terms of application, paints and coatings industry represents the largest end user of polyurethane dispersion market, where it is used as a film former or binders. Polyurethane is also used in the production of medical gloves and manufacturing of furniture products. In addition to the construction industry, it is also used in the coating and adhesives, footwear, refrigeration and freezers industry. These polymers were initially used for the production of fibers and flexible foams but today polyurethane has a wide range of application ranging from concrete construction like bridges and motorway structures to steel railway carriages and wooden furniture. Most of the polyurethane polymers are thermosetting polymers which do not melt when heated. Polyurethane products are commonly known as urethanes. Polyurethane dispersion is a technology which comprises a two phase system of water and a polymer, having high molecular weight and belonging to the class of polyurethane and some optional components.
