Discover the key raw materials to formulate decorative paints in 2025-26 for the megatrend Efficiency
Efficiency covers formulation trends aimed at reducing extra steps or materials and increasing productivity — reducing weight, temperature curing, formulation costs, faster product processes, curing speed and return to service, saving energy, and utilising higher film thickness and fewer layers.
Focus: Micronised solid pigment preparations
They eliminate the bulk and weight associated with liquid pigments, allowing for more efficient handling and storage while optimising performance. These preparations improve dispersibility and consistency, making them ideal for paints and coatings formulations.
