PAINT & COATING RESINS

Resins used to make paint and coatings provide several qualities, from weather and water resistance to color retention and high-quality gloss. Different types of resins are used to manufacture these products, including epoxy, acrylic, polyurethane, and polypropylene. Paint and coatings resins are used in several industries, such as industrial, automotive, and architectural. Companies that need a steady supply of resins used for these products can depend on Gantrade. Our company has been a leader in the chemical supplies industry since 1975, providing businesses with reliable access to paint and coatings resins.

How We Serve the Paint & Coatings Market

Central to our business, raw materials for the Paint & Coatings market reflect Gantrade’s ongoing commitment to high value and consistent quality. Covering the spectrum of architectural products and industrial and specialty applications, our products also promote emphasis on durability and sustainability, delivering better economics to  paint & coatings manufacturers.

Coating intermediates is a core footprint of the Gantrade global group of companies, through our operations across the United States, Europe, and Asia. We stay competitive globally to ensure consistency of supply to our customers in the paint & and coatings sector.

Gantrade has built an integrated network of warehouses, offices, and logistics facilities to ensure that we can source paint and coatings resin materials in a cost-effective manner. This helps businesses reduce supply and production costs.

Gantrade offers a cross-linking technology that is based on diacetone acrylamide (DAAM) and adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH). This technology helps produce paint formulations that improve safety and performance. Other benefits of this technology for paint and coatings resins include enhanced resistance to stains, abrasions, and other damage, as well as a high degree of gloss retention and solvent resistance.

Gantrade stays up-to-date on the latest developments in intermediate and monomer production. This allows us to source paint and coating resin materials made with new technologies that improve performance and ensure the highest quality.

Paint and Coatings Resins

From traffic marking paints and architectural paints to industrial and marine coatings, resins play a key role in manufacturing these products. The types of resins used for paint and coatings depend on their application and the qualities needed, such as UV resistance, moisture resistance, or transparency.

What Are They?

Resins are organic compounds that are used in the manufacture of coatings and paint products. These resins are used to produce paint and coatings for a variety of applications, including interior and exterior applications. Vinyl and acrylic monomers, the building blocks of polymers, are used to produce some paint and coatings resins. Solution, emulsion, and dispersant polymers are a few types of polymers used in paint and coatings industries. Diols and polyols are also used to make resins for coatings and paint products.

What Can They Be Used For?

Paint and coatings resins can be used for a wide range of applications, from producing marine paints to manufacturing architectural coatings. Other applications for paint and coatings resins include automotive refinish coatings, industrial maintenance, special purpose coatings, and traffic marking paints. Depending on application and industry, resins can provide specific qualities or properties, such as a high degree of resistance to severe weather conditions, UV exposure, or water exposure.


Epoxy resin coatings are often used in industrial settings due to their ability to handle moderately corrosive environments. Acrylic paint and coatings are typically used in the architectural industry. These resins offer superior gloss and color retention, making them suitable for exterior and interior applications. Solvent-based acrylic resins usually have better chemical resistance and weather resistance compared to water-based acrylic resins. Alkyd resins are also used for architectural paint and coatings due to their high gloss. These resins have high durability as well. Urethanes are versatile resins that can be used for several types of applications.
