Paint Industry

The Indian paint industry has come a long way. According to a recent report, the Indian paint industry is a Rs 49 billion sector. The Indian paints industry offers a good scope for stable revenue streams to manufacturers of both decorative and industrial paints. In India the industrial paint segment accounts for 30 percent of the paint market while the decorative paint segment accounts for 70 per cent of paints sold in India.

The demand for paints is relatively price elastic but it is linked to the industrial and economical growth of the country. Today the awareness level on preventing corrosion through paints is relatively high. This development should be a huge boost to the paint industry. Most of the paint leaders have technical tie-ups with global paint leaders. The industrial paints are slated to grow at an annual rate of 10 to 12 per cent per annum for the next few years.

Pumps in Paint Industry
Pumps are widely used in the paint industry. In today's manufacturing environment, a wide variety of paint types, colors, coatings and manufacturing methods demand the utmost flexibility with spray painting equipment. All spray painting equipment works with the help of pumps. Gear pumps are used in paint industry.

Special designed pumps are available which allow for new methods of coating and de-coating. All of these advances reduce pollution and minimize the waste stream. The pumps mix the paint electronically, thereby reducing human error and waste associated with incorrectly mixed paints. The pumps are also mobile, so the painters can communicate more closely with people operating the pumps, eliminating painting mistakes.
