The addition of
anti-skinning agents to paint prevents the formation of skin, which
is formed due to oxidation and polymerization of the binder at the
paint-air interface. The anti-skinning agents inhibit or delay the
oxidative processes, which lead to skin formation during both storage
and application. They do not affect the color and film formation
tendencies. The formation of skin is directly proportional to the
temperature of the environment the paint is exposed to, and the solid
content in the paint. Poor formulation, production faults and
faults in processing also contribute to this problem. Also, the skin
formed blocks the nozzles of the spray painting equipment and impair
the appearance of the coat. The loss occurred due to skinning is
estimated at 3-5%.

Prevention Measures include
proper sealing of paint pails, anti-skinning agents, straining paint
through a nylon strainer, storage of paint in cool areas and
replacing air by nitrogen in headspace of storage containers. The
only disadvantage of using anti-skinning agents is the increase in
drying time due to anti-oxidant property. Dosage should be carefully
optimized to attain right level of anti-skinning activity and drying
time.

Anti-skinning agents are
generally used as solvent borne coating, mainly in alkyd based
paints. The increasing use of methylethylketoxime (MEKO) skinning
agent in alkyd based paints used for printing inks, industrial wood,
pigment dispersions, and general industrial end-uses to prevent
skinning factor are fueling the growth of global anti-skinning agents
market. Moreover, oximes and phenols are well-known as oxygen
scavengers and largely helps in reducing oxidation rates. Hence, they
are the primary constituent in most anti-skinning agents. MEKO is the
most widely used anti-skinning agent and is added in very small
proportions to the paint (0.5%). Retention aids prevent applied paint
films from drying too quickly. Furthermore, solvents used as
anti-skinning agents dissolves the components which form skins.
The growing demand for
anti-skinning agents from printing inks industry is the major driver
for the growth of anti-skinning market globally. The decorative
end-use segment is the fastest growing segment in the anti-skinning
agent market. The factors such as the growing GDP and rapid
urbanization in Asia Pacific, primarily in China, and India creates a
highly conducive environment for market growth. Due to which, the
demand for new and improved infrastructure is increasing, enabling
the growth of decorative paints, which in turn is fueling the
anti-skinning agents market during the forecast period.
Surging demand in Asia-Pacific
Augmenting Market Growth-
Asia Pacific market is expected to grow at a rapid pace due to demand from the expansive construction industry, which in turn driving paints and anti-skinning agents market. The growing urbanization, rising paints and coatings industry, and rise in disposable incomes of the population are the major drivers for the burgeoning growth of anti-skinning agents in the Asia Pacific region. For instance, according to the India Paint Association, the paint industry in India is valued at US$ 7.6 billion in 2017 and is expected to grow to US$ 10.8 billion by 2020. Also, as per statistics released by India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF)-a Trust established by the Department of Commerce, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India-the Indian government plans to invest US$ 376.53 billion in infrastructure development over the following three years.

Growth in the developed world i.e. North America and Europe is dependent on the market of the construction industry. These markets are matured and growth is typically slow than in emerging markets. With increased environmental regulations in these countries new technologies and products are been developing at a rapid pace. Hence, allowing the anti-skinning agent market to grow at a descent rate.
-
Latin America is experiencing mixed growth figures. Brazil is the largest market of anti-skinning agents in Latin America. However, Brazil has experienced a slight slowdown in construction industry, but the countries such as Colombia, Mexico, and Argentina have experienced moderate to rapid growth in construction activities, which in turn allowing the significant growth of anti-skinning agents market over the following years.
Major companies are adopting
various organic and inorganic growth strategies to sustain a better
market position in the anti-skinning agent market. For instance, the
company named Brochers has developed an oxime-free anti-skinning
agent, which have anti-oxidant properties similar to oximes and
phenols, and are non-hazardous substitutions for them. Oximes provide
a major advantage of being oxygen scavengers are also toxic in
nature. Some of the major companies operating in the Anti-Skinning
Agents market are Borchers, Dura Chemicals, Gelest Inc., OMG
Americas, Polyrheo Inc., GSFC Ltd., Arkema, and Troy Corporation.
