Based on resin type, acrylics account for a significant share of the Central America paints and coatings market

Acrylic paints and coatings enjoy a substantial popularity in the market. When exposed to outside elements, coatings made of acrylic polymers or copolymers retain their colour beautifully. Once applied to the surface, it creates a film with exceptional qualities of hardness, impact resistance, and chemical resistance.

Acrylic paints and coating solutions are closely followed by alkyd resins. Highway traffic paints, concrete floor paints, and swimming pool paints use alkyd resins. Heat-resistant paints and maritime coatings are also among the main applications of alkyd modified silicon resins.

Meanwhile, epoxy resins are used to create heavy-duty protective coatings used in industrial settings; as sealers for concrete floors; and long-lasting, high-gloss outdoor coatings.

Based on application, the architectural segment dominates the Central America paints and coatings market share

Rapid development of corporate building projects, such as parking lots, commercial plazas, medical clinics, offices, and apartments has expanded the usage of paints and coatings in the region. In September 2022, El Salvador commenced the construction of a new national stadium, supported by funds received from China. Such developments have contributed to the demand for construction materials and paint and coatings solutions for better appeal.

Industrial equipment can fail due to wear and corrosion, resulting in costly repairs and downtime. Industrial protective coatings provide outstanding protection to new and used equipment in a variety of applications.
