BUSINESS MODEL

Paint

A liquid mixture, usually of a solid pigment in a liquid vehicle, used as a protective or decorative coating; (b) the thin dry film formed by such a mixture applied to a surface; (c) the solid pigment before it is mixed with a vehicle. Paint may be described as a liquid composition capable of being applied over a surface. The viscosity of this liquid composition is adjusted to ease application by airless spray, brush, roller, etc. During the curing or drying process, this film becomes an impermeable, strongly protective, decorative coating. Modern paints have evolved due to an increasing demand for higher performance coatings. These paints have highly complicated compositions including four main components: the binder, the pigment, the extender, and the solvent.

Binders are the film-forming components of the paint in which the pigment and extenders are distributed. In most cases, binders produce the greatest volume of paint film and have the greatest influence on the paint characteristics (drying/curing, adhesion, hardness, strength, resistance to chemicals, etc.). Therefore, the type of binder is generally used to describe the generic type of paint. Pigments are the small particles of solid material distributed in the paint. Pigments can be divided into two groups: anticorrosive pigments, which prevent corrosion of metals by chemical and electo-chemical means, and coloring pigments, which give permanent color and hiding capacity.



Extenders are natural or synthetic materials finely distributed in the paint. They can also be considered inert pigments. The particles have different sizes and shapes: nodular, lamellar, acicular, etc. Extenders have significant influence on the physical properties of the paint. These include the gloss, water & chemical resistance, mechanical strength and hardness, and film build of the paint.

Solvents are used principally to facilitate application. Active solvents dissolve the binder to make a solution suitable for various methods of application. Latent solvents make the coating easier to apply, control the evaporation rate, and improve the quality of the final film. Diluent solvents are used in limited quantities in conjunction with active solvents to reduce costs. Diluent solvents do not dissolve the binder.

Types of Paints

Paints can be classified by generic types of binders, by function, or by drying/curing mechanism. Antifouling coatings are chosen for their ability to control marine growth and limit undue hull roughness. The effect of roughness is an increase in the resistance to movement, resulting in reduced speed and increased fuel consumption. The main cause of hull roughness is fouling (growth of marine plants and animals on the hull). Modern antifoulings fall into three main groups: soluble matrix, insoluble matrix and self-polishing.

Soluble matrix antifouling have a natural rosin binder that slowly dissolves in seawater. When the coating is immersed in seawater, the biocide leaches out of the paint, but the release rate soon drops below that required to control fouling. As a result, effective protection lasts for a short time (12 months).

Insoluble matrix antifouling have a binder that is insoluble in seawater. Since only biocides are released, the paint film is left as a porous skeleton. As the porous layer increases, the rate of biocide release decreases. Eventually no more biocides can be released and performance drops dramatically. Effective life of this type of antifouling is 24 months. Self-polishing antifouling are based on acrylic binders and fall into two categories: tin-free and tin-bearing. In contact with seawater, the binder hydrolyses or ablates



and dissolves at an even, predictable rate. As the antifouling wears away or “polishes,” new biocide is continually exposed down to the last few microns of antifouling. The benefits provided by a self-polishing antifouling are increased service life (up to 60 months) and a very effective protection against fouling. The effective life span is directly proportional to the applied film thickness.

Acrylic coatings are derived from an extensive family of polymers. Acrylics are single component paints that dry through solvent evaporation. They are not dependent on temperature and offer good adhesion to similar generic types such as vinyl. Designed for use on a wide variety of substrates, acrylics display excellent gloss and color retention. They are often used to modify other generic types to improve water and chemical resistance, flexibility, UV stability, gloss and color retention. Alkyd coatings are a combination of natural oils and other chemicals. Alkyds are single component paints cured by oxidation. They are good general purpose coatings designed for a variety of applications above water. Alkyds are easy to apply and can be used for primers or topcoats. They offer good color and gloss retention, but only fair-to-poor chemical resistance. Alkyds are not suitable for application over alkaline surfaces. Epoxy coatings are synthetic resins designed to provide a predetermined polymer structure. Epoxies are two-component, chemically cured paints. Since epoxies are synthetic, they are developed and used for a great variety of purposes. They form hard, abrasion-resistant films with excellent water, chemical, alkali and solvent resistance and are used on a variety of substrates from general purpose primers to high performance tank linings. Epoxies have a tendency to chalk and fade in direct sunlight. Heat resistant silicone coatings are self-polymerizing resins. They are cured by heat. Silicones offer excellent high heat resistance and good weather resistance. They are less prone to oxidation, giving excellent resistance to UV and weathering. Solvent resistance is marginal but improves markedly after exposure to very high temperatures and the burn-off of organic materials. The expense of silicone limits its application, but it is often used to modify other generic types in order to increase heat resistance.

Polyurethane coatings are formed by a reaction between hydroxy and isocyanate compounds. They are the newest and potentially the largest polymer family in the coatings industry. Polyurethanes are normally two-component, chemically cured paints, but are also available in single-component form. Available in a wide range of formulations, polyurethanes are tough and abrasion-resistant, provide excellent



chemical and solvent resistance, weathering properties, and gloss retention. They withstand mild acids and alkali and work well in combination with epoxy primers.

Vinyl coatings are film-forming polymers consisting of varying ratios of polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate and polyvinyl alcohol. Vinyls are single-component paints that dry through solvent evaporation. They provide excellent acid and alkali resistance. Vinyls require a high degree of surface preparation and offer limited resistance to oil and solvents. Low solids content and high V.O.C. are making this product obsolete in the United States.

Zinc silicate coatings are inorganic coatings with high metallic zinc content for cathodic protection. Zinc silicates are two-component products chemically cured through water absorption. They may be solvent or water borne and require a high degree of surface preparation to work properly (intimate contact with steel is necessary). Zinc silicates are extremely resistant to mechanical stress, heat and organic solvents. Zinc silicates should not be used in acidic environments without being top-coated. Because combinations of zinc and rainwater are alkaline, zinc silicates should not be used in conjunction with alkyds. Zinc silicates are often designed as shop primers.

Product Variants

Primer is a preparatory coating put on materials before painting. Priming ensures better adhesion of paint to the surface, increases paint durability, and provides additional protection for the material being painted.

Emulsion paint is a water-based paint used for painting interior or exterior surfaces.

Varnish and shellac provide a protective coating without changing the color. They are paints without pigment.

Wood stain is a type of paint that is very "thin," that is, low in viscosity, and formulated so that the pigment penetrates the surface rather than remaining in a film on top of the surface. Stain is predominantly Pigment or dye and solvent with little binder, designed primarily to add color without providing a surface coating.

Lacquer is usually a fast-drying solvent-based paint or varnish that produces an especially hard, durable finish.

Enamel paint is a paint that dries to an especially hard, usually glossy, finish. Enamel paints contain either glass powder or tiny metal flake fragments instead of the color pigments found in standard oil-based paints. Enamel paint is also mixed with varnish to increase shine as well as assist its hardening process.

glaze is an additive used with paint to slow drying time and increase translucency, as in Faux Painting and Art Painting.

Roof coating is a fluid applied membrane which has elastic properties that allows it to stretch and return to their original shape without damage. It provides UV protection to polyurethane foam and is widely used as part of a roof restoration system.

Fingerpaint is a kind of paint intended to be applied with the fingers; it typically comes in pots and is used by small children, though it has very occasionally been used by adults either to teach art to children, or for their own independent use.

Inks are similar to paints, except they are typically made using finely ground pigments or dyes, and are designed so as not to leave a thick film of binder.

Titanium dioxide is extensively used for both house paint and artist's paint, because it is permanent and has good covering power. Titanium Oxide pigment accounts for the largest use of the element. Titanium paint is an excellent reflector of infrared, and is extensively used in solar observatories where heat causes poor seeing conditions.

Anti-Graffiti Coatings are used to defeat the marking of surfaces by graffiti artists. There are two categories, sacrificial and non-bonding. Sacrificial coatings are clear coatings that allow the removal of graffiti, usually by pressure washing the surface with high-pressure water, removing the graffiti, and the coating (hence, sacrificed.) They must be re-applied afterward for continued protection. This is most commonly used on natural-looking masonry surfaces, such as statuary and marble walls, and on rougher surfaces that are difficult to clean. Non-

bonding coatings are clear, high-performance coatings, usually catalyzed polyurethanes, that allow the graffiti very little to bond to. After the graffiti is discovered, it can be removed with the use of a solvent wash, without damaging the underlying substrate or protective coating. These work best when used on smoother surfaces, and especially over other painted surfaces, including murals.

Anti-climb paint is a non-drying paint that appears normal while still being extremely slippery. It is usually used on drainpipes and ledges to deter burglars and vandals from climbing them, and is found in many public places. When a person attempts to climb objects coated with the paint, it rubs off onto the climber, as well as making it hard for them to climb.

Indian Paint Market

The size of the paints market in India is estimated at Rs. 110 bn., with the contribution of the organised and unorganised segments in the ratio of 65:35. Reduction of excise duties over the last few years, from 40% to the present level of 14%, has helped create a level playing field between the unorganised and the organised segments, as the former is not subject to excise duty. As the unorganised sector loses its competitive edge, it is also losing market share to the organised sector players.In view of the low per capita annual consumption of paints in India (0.5 kg, compared to 4 kg in South East Asian countries, 22 kg in developed countries and a global average of 15 kg), the domestic paints industry has tremendous potential. The paints industry is working-capital intensive, rather than fixed-asset intensive. As in consumer non-durables, distribution strengths and brand building are of paramount importance.The Indian paint industry witnessed robust growth in turnover on the back of increased volumes during the festival season. Both decorative and industrial segments performed well during the quarter. Moreover, the margins received a boost with the domestic currency continuing to rise against the greenback, causing a substantial reduction in cost of imported inputs. This in turn induced some of the players in the industry to reduce the prices of select products to pass on the benefit to the customers. Further, players are going in for capacity expansions to reap the benefits of the rising demand for paints

Segments:

On product lines, paints can be differentiated into Decorative or architectural paints and Industrial paints. While the former caters to the housing sector, the automotive segment is a major consumer of the latter. Decorative paints can further be classified into premium, medium and distemper segments. Premium decorative paints are acrylic emulsions used mostly in the metros. The medium range consists of enamels, popular in smaller cities and towns. Distempers are economy products demanded in the suburban and rural markets. Nearly 20 per cent of all decorative paints sold in India are distempers and it is here that the

unorganised sector has dominance. Industrial paints include powder coatings, high performance coating and automotive and marine paints. But two-thirds of the industrial paints produced in the country are automotive paints. Decorative and industrial paints are the segments within the sector, in a 70:30 proportion. Brand equity, a wide range of shades, distribution strength and efficient working capital management are key success factors in the decorative paints segment. A strong distribution network acts as an entry barrier. Within the decorative segment, enamel is the largest sub-segment, accounting for over 50%, followed by wall finishes, primers and wood finishes. The season for decorative paints is from October to March, a period characterised by festivals like Diwali, and the summer, when painting is normally carried out.The industrial segment pertains mainly to automobiles. In this segment, technological competence, product range and customised solutions are of utmost importance. Technological strength is another entry barrier. The slowdown in the automobile sector has affected the overall growth of the industrial segment, as the former contributes around 50% of the latter's revenues.Other sub-segments are marine paints, powder coatings for white goods like refrigerators and washing machines, and industrial coatings. Within the paints sector, the proportion of the industrial paints segment is likely to increase in the next few years and the ratio is likely to become 50:50.The demand for decorative paints is highly price-sensitive and also cyclical. Monsoon is a slack season while the peak business period is Diwali festival time, when most people repaint their houses. The industrial paints segment, on the other hand, is a high volume-low margin business. In the decorative segment, it is the distribution network that counts while in the industrial segment the deciding factor are technological superiority and tie-up with automobile manufacturers for assured business.The share of industrial paints in the total paint consumption of the nation is very low compared to global standards. It accounts for 30 per cent of the paint market with 70 per cent of paints sold in India for decorative purposes. In most



developed countries, the ratio of decorative paints vis-Ã -vis industrial paints is around 50:50. But, with the decorative segment bottoming out, companies are increasingly focusing on industrial paints. The future for industrial paints is bright. In the next few years, its share would go up to 50 per cent, in line with the global trend.

Decorative Sector Composition

Enamels- 50% Distemper- 19% Emulsions- 17% Exterior Coatings- 12% Wood Finishes- 2%

Decorative Sector Features

Enamels Steady growth. These are oil based paints which are widely used for painting on all surfaces including walls, wood and metals. They also find application in painting of hoardings and signboards and repainting of commercial vehicles.Emulsions Shift from distemper and enamels to emulsions. High growth area. These are premium quality oil based wall paints.Distempers High growth in low priced low quality distempers as consumers are upgrading from limewash. These are water based wall paints priced at a much lower range than the above two. Exteriors Exterior emulsion fastest growing segment in the Indian Paint market.

Industrial Sector Composition Automotive Paints - 50% High Performance Coating - 30% Powder Coating - 10% Coil Coating - 5% Marine Paints - 5%

Automotive Sector

High growth sector with a number of new entrants like Mercedes Benz, Mitsubishi, Daewoo, Hyundai, Honda, Fiat, General Motors, Ford. However, recently



there is some slackness in Auto demands. Two wheeler market booming due to demand from large Indian middle class. Goodlass and Asian Paints are the leading OEM players and ICI is the leading player in the replacement market

Powder Coatings Increase growth due to increased sales of white goods and auto ancillaries. Berger and Goodlass lead in this solid powder coating segment used for decoration and protection of white goods, electronic equipment and auto components.

High Performance Coatings Steady growth due to increase investments in refinery segment and power sectors, particularly Thermal and Nuclear. Coil Coatings: Solvent based paints for sheets and coils. ICI and Asian Paints lead this segment.

Marine: Shalimar and Bombay Paints are the major players in these anti-corrosive, underwater paints used for ships and containers.

Chemicals: These high performance paints are used in fertilisers, petrochemicals etc. for prevention of corrosion.APIL dominates the decorative segment with a 38 per cent market share. The company has more than 15,000 retail outlets and its brands Tractor, Apcolite, Utsav, Apex and Ace are entrenched in the market. GNPL, the number-two in the decorative segment, with a 14 per cent market share too, has now increased its distribution network to 10,700 outlets to compete with APIL effectively. Berger and ICI have 9 per cent and 8 per cent shares respectively in this segment followed by J&N and Shalimar with 1 and 6 per cent shares.GNPL dominates the industrial paints segment with 41 per cent market share. It has a lion's share of 70 per cent in the OEM passenger car segment, 40 per cent share of two wheeler OEM market and 20 per cent of commercial vehicle OEM market. It supplies 70 per cent of the paint requirement of Maruti, India's largest passenger car manufacturer, besides supplying to other customers like Telco, Toyota, Hindustan Motors, Hero Honda, TVS-Suzuki, Mahindra & Mahindra, Ashok Leyland, Ford India, PAL Peugeot and Bajaj Auto. GNPL also controls 20 per cent of the consumer durables segment with clients like Whirlpool and Godrej GE. The company is also venturing into new areas like painting of plastic, coil coatings and cans. APIL, the leader in decorative paints, ranks a poor second after Goodlass Nerolac in the industrial segment with a 15 per cent market share. But with its joint venture Asian-PPG Industries, the company is aggressively targeting the automobile sector. It has now emerged as a 100 per cent OEM supplier to Daewoo, Hyundai, Ford and General Motors and is all set to ride on the automobile boom. Berger and ICI are the other



players in the sector with 10 per cent and 9 per cent shares respectively. Shalimar too, has an 8 per cent share.

Raw Material scenario:The paint industry is raw material-intensive, in terms of value and quantity of raw materials used. Raw material costs account for around 70% of total production costs. Imports constitute around 30% of the raw material requirements. The most critical raw materials used are titanium dioxide (TD) (rutile and anatase grades), phthalic anhydride (PAN) and pentaerithrithol (PENTA). Some other raw materials like castor oil, soyabean oil, linseed oil and mineral turpentine are also used. Increasing prices of raw materials, on the one hand, and the inability to pass on the price increases from recession and competitive pressure, on the other, are major areas of concern. Of the 300 raw materials (30% petro-based derivatives), nearly half of them are imported petroleum products. Thus, any deficit in global oil reserves affects the bottomline of the players.

RECOMMENDATION:

Since all consumers of served segment are not aware of KAMDHENU ISPAT LTD., so K.I.L. should take some major steps for their brand (DREAMZ COLOUR) promotion.



Steps are-

Promotional Strategies

The following promotional strategies for Paint manufacturers and exporters are recommended to penetrate the Indian market.

Appointing Direct sales Agents

Appointing distributor or agent is one of the most important initial strategies to penetrate the Indian as well as (DELHI) market.

Selection of distributors / agents in India could pose some problems. At first glance, agents may appear to have excellent customer contacts. However, these agents may have little motivation to develop new markets or new customers.

The selected agents should have the business capacity, salesmanship, expertise, previous experience in the line.

Advertisements

Advertisements in Delhi play an important role in creating awareness, disseminating information and market promotion. Using celebrities as brand ambassadors will go a long way in capturing the market. Advertisements in major state level newspapers like The Times of India, Radio and the local channels as well as selected magazines will create the desired awareness and popularity which will help to capture the serving market.

Participation in Trade Fairs

One of the most effective trade promotion tools in India is participation in trade fairs, and this also goes a long way for manufacturers and exporters to understand Indian consumer’s views, tastes and preferences.



Invitation to Visit Kamdhenu Paint Industry

Information on Dreamz Colour can be disseminated through the local print and electronic media. Dissemination of this information will entice the target market to visit the Kamdhenu industry which will create an avenue for the buyers to be a loyal customer of Kamdhenu product.

OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS:

• First and foremost the brand awareness must be improved so as to reach large pool of customers as there are still a large number of customers who are unaware of the benefits of the KAMDHENU PRODUCT.

• The facilities provided in DREAMZ COLOUR should be increased to attract more customers.

• Company needs to create a channel so that the customers can contact the company and visa versa for feedback of the customers. For this the company needs to contact these customers very often to know whether they are satisfied with the facilities provided or not.
