Paper Coating Materials Market - Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2018–2025
Paper coating is the process of laminating a paper or board with an agent for improvements in brightness or printing properties. Various materials such as china clay, PCC, pigment or adhesive are used for coating. The coating helps to fill the minute pits between the fibers in the raw paper, thus giving it a flat surface, smooth finish which helps to improve the luster, opacity and color-absorption ability. Coating is done to improve the print quality, durability and aesthetics of paper. The coating process includes different levels of coating rendering the desired paper properties. They are classified into light coated, medium coated, high coated, and art papers.

This makes it an ideal coating material with adjustable properties catering to specific requirements. Titanium dioxide coatings offer various advantages such as excellent opacity and retention characteristics, exceptional light stability, high brightness with neutral, self-dispersing features in alkaline aqueous systems. Styrene butadiene latex and styrene acrylic latex coatings are used for graphical paper, specialty paper, and liquid packaging board. Titanium dioxide and talc are used in small quantities for special applications which require extreme whiteness, pitch control and opacity. Wax coating is an effective and economical coating method which helps to protect products from water, humidity and greases. In food industry paper is coated to prevention against humidity and oxygen. For packaging of chemicals coating materials are used to prevent any reaction with the packaging material and for protection against any external conditions such as air, sunlight, water etc. Paper Coating Materials Market Outlook – Asia Pacific Poised to be Major Growth Engine Asia Pacific and North America are expected to be the most potential markets for paper coating material manufacturers. According to IBEF, the demand for paper in India is expected to rise 53% by 2020. In the past few years, the Indian paper sector
