Asia Pacific Anti-Skinning Agents in Paints Market Dynamics

As there is an increasing demand for Sustainable Products there is an increasing demand for anti-skinning agents. Anti-skinning agents react with the free radicals formed during the oxidative polymerisation processes, as they are more readily oxidised than the drying oils or drying oil derivatives present in the coating. The anti-skinning agents hereby prevent the cross-linking from taking place, for which reason the drying of the coating is stopped. The volatile anti-skinning agent might also to some extend form complexes with the primary drier metal and hereby influence the activity of the drier system. The anti-skinning agents continue to act until all the molecules of the compound are exhausted. Anti-skinning agents’ mechanism is related to the prevention of coating crust in paint drying that defines the polymerization process of paint and drier effect. General anti-skinning agents add amount in terms of total amount of paint for 0.1~0.3% while add amount of varnish should be controlled around 0.25%. The increasing use of methylethylketoxime (MEKO) skinning agent in alkyd based paints used for printing inks, industrial wood, pigment dispersions, and general industrial end-uses to prevent skinning factor are fueling the growth of Asia Pacific anti-skinning agents market.
