Why Are Paints and Coatings Manufacturers Using Crotonic Acid-Based Thickener?

Crotonic acid is one of the prime ingredients used in the production of paints and coatings, due to its ability to form copolymers when combined with other chemical compounds. Moreover, when crotonic acid monomer is copolymerized with other compounds, it leads to the formulation of a thickener, which is utilized in glossy emulsion paints. Such paints offer protective coatings and additional glowing effect to the interiors and exteriors of buildings. Thus, the rising demand for emulsion paints will boost the production of the acid in the coming years.

Moreover, the rapid growth in the adhesives industry will drive the crotonic acid market at 7.9% CAGR during 2021–2025. The market is expected to grow from $592.0 million in 2020 to $853.7 million by 2025. Copolymers obtained after mixing crotonic acid with vinyl acetate are used in the formulations of adhesives. For instance, the production of hot melt adhesives usually involves the grafting of crotonic acid and acrylic acid on to metallocene ethylene–octene copolymers. Moreover, technological developments have resulted in the formulation of improved adhesives that offer phenomenal bond strength, performance, and flexibility under a wide range of temperature. 

Geographically, China accounted for the largest share in the crotonic acid market in 2020 and it is expected to observe the same trend during the forecast period. Moreover, the Chinese market is also expected to demonstrate the fastest growth in the coming years. This can be attributed to the burgeoning demand for paints and coatings and adhesives for repair and renovation of residential and commercial units. Besides, the escalating requirement for this acid as plasticizers, fungicides, and intermediaries in the chemical, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries will boost the market growth.

Thus, the growing consumption of adhesives and paints and coatings in various sectors will accelerate the production of crotonic acid in the foreseeable future.
