The coatings industry in 2026 is driven by sustainable binders, advanced polymer systems and performance-oriented formulations. Manufacturers increasingly prioritize durability, regulatory compliance and optimized supply chains.

Key developments include:

• Growth in bio-based and hybrid resin systems
• Low-VOC compliant formulations
• Advanced pigment dispersion technologies
• Increased demand for high-performance industrial coatings

At INTERCOSTA TRADE S.L., we supply raw materials that support modern industrial coating production — including polymers, resins, pigments and specialty additives for global manufacturers.

Environmental regulations across Europe and global markets continue to influence coating and adhesive production. Low-emission resin systems and sustainable additives are no longer niche — they are becoming standard.

Industrial producers are transitioning to:

• Low-VOC and solvent-reduced binders
• Waterborne polymer technologies
• High-solids systems with improved efficiency
• Sustainable raw material sourcing

INTERCOSTA TRADE S.L. supports manufacturers by connecting them with compliant, high-quality raw materials suitable for regulated markets.

Reliable sourcing remains critical for manufacturers operating in competitive markets. Volatility in raw material pricing, energy costs and transportation logistics affects production planning worldwide.

Our role as an international B2B trading partner includes:

• Coordinating cross-border procurement
• Securing consistent supply volumes
• Supporting long-term supplier relationships
• Ensuring reliable and structured trade operations

We help industrial customers maintain continuity in production processes.

Advancements in polymer chemistry continue to shape the performance of modern coatings and adhesives. New resin systems improve mechanical strength, chemical resistance and long-term durability.

Key innovation areas include:

• Functional monomers and specialty additives
• Crosslinking technologies for enhanced performance
• Improved compatibility between pigments and binders
• Industrial-grade adhesive components

INTERCOSTA TRADE S.L. works with trusted global suppliers to ensure access to high-performance materials for industrial manufacturing.
