AB - Paint application is a sector of human activity, where the common use according to product determination by the end user or small craftmans business contributes most obviously to environment pollution, In first instance of course by solvent evaporation. There is a steadily increasing pressure by governmental authorities on the plant industry to reduce solvent emission from its products. At the same time, more integral approaches of environmental impact assessments ‐ so called life cycle analysis ‐ become more and more important. The paint industry answers these challenges by development of new types of coatings, which mainly means new types of binder polymers and new types of crosslink chemistry. Advances in the understanding of polymer physical chemistry as well as the advent of new synthesis concepts lead to a number of emerging technologies expected to contribute significantly to reduction of pollution by paint application. While in industrial paint application end‐of‐the‐pipe technology is still economically favourably competing with the advanced paint chemistry concepts (e.g. high‐solids, waterborne, UV‐curing, electrocoating, powder coating and supercritical CO2‐application), the situation in the large sector of end‐user and craftsman application of paint is much more difficult, at least in the sector of high performance and particularly high gloss coatings. End‐of‐pipe‐technology is unapplicable and, on the other hand, degrees of freedom in application equipment and curing conditions are limited. Furthermore, labour safety requirement further restrict the scope of applicable new chemistry.
