LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The protective coatings market is currently growing at a healthy rate, with companies and research institutions finding creative new solutions to problems. Use of nanoparticles is increasing, as is the focus on environmentally friendly products. Infiniti Research expects the global protective coatings market to grow at a CAGR of 9.23% over the next several years, and reach USD 19.53 billion in value by 2020. Nanocoatings will grow much faster than that, however, with many innovations and discoveries driving their success.

Market Developments
One example of innovations driving the success of nanocoatings is a new creation by scientists at The Australian National University (ANU). They have developed a spray-on super-hydrophobic nanopartical coating that has numerous potential applications. While coatings of this nature have been made before, this one is considerably more robust, and holds up well under stress. It is also cheaper and easier to produce.
This new coating is made up of two types of plastics interwoven with each other to achieve a product that is both durable and flexible. It is 85% transparent, making it useful for surfaces like windows, mirrors, and device screens, although impractical for applications such as solar panels, where efficiency is essential. The coating’s creators envision many different uses for it, from preventing ice from forming on airplanes to protecting mobile devices. The techniques used to create it can also be applied to other types of coatings to protect from things such as corrosion and oil.
