What is the reason for the smaller price increase of powders compared to solvents? Differences in paints.
In the paint price increase of 2026, the adjustment range for powder-based paints was shown to be smaller than that for solvent-based paints. This explains the differences in the price increase range and the considerations when reviewing painting methods.
As paint prices continue to rise, I want to reconsider painting methods. Are you curious about which paints have seen the largest price increases? 【What is happening now】 Kansai Paint has revised its prices for solvent-based paints by 20 to 35 percent and for powder-based paints by 15 to 25 percent for shipments starting June 15, 2026. SK Kaken has also indicated that solvent products will increase by 20 to 30 percent and powder products by 10 to 15 percent. The paint price index in September is 26.8 percent higher than the same month last year. 【One reason for the difference in price increases】 Powder coatings are less affected by the rise in solvent prices since they do not use solvents like thinners. 【Points to consider when reviewing】 1. Check if the parts can withstand the heat of curing. 2. Test if the required film thickness and finish can be met with powder coatings. 【Free materials】 We have compiled the correspondence between curing paint and powder coating in the related catalog "Curing Paint Service."
