What coatings do
Coatings are applied to various objects not just to make our environment more attractive,
but to protect the objects themselves.
They also provide various other functions that increase added value.
Protection
Applying coatings forms surface coats that protect materials from various external conditions such as rain, wind, sea water, and UV rays.
Decoration
Coatings make finished products more attractive in various ways, not only in color but also texture (gloss or satin, for example).
Function
Coatings can provide various functions, such as energy saving, thermal resistance, antibacterial functions, and odor prevention that increase added value.
Global coatings market
Coatings are used for a wide range of purposes, and general demand is expected to grow alongside economic growth.
The Kansai Paint Group's strengths
R&D capabilities
Kansai Paint's technological might, centered on automotive coatings—the pinnacle of the coatings field—places it among the world's leaders in this sector. Specifically, its strengths lie in the three areas of resins, which can be described as the lifeline of coatings; colors, which provide attractive surfaces; and dispersion agents, essential to producing stable coatings in concert with the other two components.
Support capabilities
Coatings are semi-processed goods, with the finished products being the coats applied by our customers. Kansai Paint boasts special strengths in the B2B segment, and its products are used on the coating lines of numerous customers.
With coating conditions changing from day to day, the experience and acumen of coatings professionals are vital to ensuring consistent final coats on the diverse coating lines operated by our customers. Our broad customer base relies on the provision of our unmatched line support, refined through experience with numerous coating lines.
Global supply capabilities
Our B2B customers in automotive, industrial, and other fields require coatings on a daily basis at their global manufacturing facilities. Producing and delivering to customers around the world the coatings they need every day, at consistent levels of quality, poses significant challenges. Of the world’s numerous coatings manufacturers, Kansai Paint is among only a select few with global supply capabilities.

Eco-friendly coatings
But today, with the growing use of largely low-odor waterborne coatings and powder coatings free of toxic volatile ingredients, coatings continue to become ever more environmentally-friendly.
With its long track record of recognizing the importance of sustainability on a global scale ahead of the times, the Kansai Paint Group undertakes various activities with the environment in mind, including developing coatings that reduce CO2 emissions generated during the coating process and products with lower environmental impact, like waterborne and powder coatings.
In an era of ceaseless change, when we face the need to address the challenges posed by climate change, the value provided by coatings should change as well. While continually reimagining this value, we will continue to deliver coatings and services that move us closer to carbon neutrality, a healthier balance between resource and economic cycles, and a higher quality of life.
