Tightening REACH and EPA regulations mandate phase-out of legacy coatings
Aerospace Coatings Market 2025 to 2032: Low-VOC Transition, MRO Backlogs and the Reformulation Race →What Changed
Strict environmental limits from the EPA and ECHA are forcing a rapid phase-out of traditional solvent-based systems and hexavalent chromium compounds. Consequently, manufacturers are heavily shifting production toward waterborne polyurethane systems and chrome-free primers. This transition has forced a 25% to 30% increase in R&D spending to bridge a 10% to 15% reduction in long-term durability found in early eco-friendly alternatives.
