Europe Rheology Modifiers Market Growth
Paints and coatings lead the Europe rheology modifiers market growth, along with application in industries such as cosmetics, personal care, and pharmaceuticals among others.
Rheology modifiers are important to have high-quality paints & coatings that are stable. This is because they control the viscosity. Their purpose is also to improve flow properties and stabilise formulation thus they help make paints and coatings architecturally, industrially, or decoratively useful by ensuring they are of high quality. They help achieve desired application characteristics such as brush ability, levelling, sag resistance and film build.
Owing to the wide use cases in the domestic region, rheology modifiers are likely to grow in Europe. The production volumes of paints and other similar coating are rising as are cosmetic products and pharmaceuticals. As of April 2024, Clariant completed a USD 810 million acquisition of Lucas Meyer Cosmetics
In the cosmetics and personal care industry, rheology modifiers are put into cosmetic and personal care products to make them have a satisfactory feel when applied to the skin. They help create stability of immiscible components in formulations and modify their thickness leading to higher spread-ability rates while also controlling product thickness as desired and improving product quality.
