Chem Research {1} has confirmed that the Covid 19 pandemic has significantly impacted the sales revenues of leading coatings producers during 2020. In the UK & Ireland many smaller customers scaled back the production of finished products and paused development projects due to the furloughing of R&D staff and the cessation of new product launches into key industrial markets.
