in OEM finishes, but for those applied to steel, their primary function is corrosion con-
trol, either for weathering resistance or flash rust protection. The market breakdown
is given in Table 4.3.
Special-purpose coatings include heavy industry corrosion control coatings as
well as marine and automotive refinishing. The distribution of corrosion-related
special-purpose coatings is shown in Table 4.4.
The value of special-purpose corrosion control coatings represents 79% of the
$2896 billion special-purpose coatings market in 1997.
Another category of total sales is miscellaneous allied paint products, which
includes paint/varnish removers, thinners, pigment dispersions such as art suppliers
and putties. The contribution to corrosion protection from this category consists
