Apart from these, fluoropolymer coatings are also electricity-resistant, anti-galling, abrasion resistant and has low surface tension. Fluoropolymer is a polymeric structure which has a systematic arrangement of fluoro-ethylene and vinyl-ether molecules. Fluoropolymer coatings are crucial to the building and construction sector for imparting protection against elements of nature, corrosion, abrasion, and impact. Fluoropolymer coatings can also be used on steel and other metallic substrates, such as aluminum, copper, zinc and other metals which are widely used in construction, heavy machineries, automotive and other applications. This is majorly driving the demand for fluoropolymer coatings market.


COVID-19 impact

Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, fluoropolymer coatings market witnessed a decline in the demand and growth owing to the various economic and legal restrictions across the world. The restrictions and ban on trade activities, imports, exports and other activities further caused the slowdown of the operations of the fluoropolymer coatings market. The covid-19 pandemic caused losses to the fluoropolymer coatings market in terms of production, distribution, marketing activities and sales. Therefore, the fluoropolymer coatings market was very dull and witnessed a slow growth during the year 2020. The fluoropolymer coatings market is however set to improve and grow substantially during end of the year 2021.
