Coatings Materials and Surface Coatings

Drawing from the third edition of The Coatings Technology Handbook this text provides a detailed analysis of the raw materials used in the coatings adhesives paints and inks industries. Coatings Materials and Surface Coatings contains chapters covering the latest polymers carbon resins and high-temperature materials used for coatings adhesives and varnishes today. Featuring new and updated chapters this text provides an in-depth examination of raw materials categorized into four types: resins solvents pigments and additives. Concise chapters describe the development chemical and physical properties synthesis and polymerization commercial uses and other characteristics for each raw material and coating. In addition the book demonstrates how application methods environmental factors and chemical interactions affect each surface coating's performance. Other unique topics include biocides fluorocarbon resins vegetable- and protein-based coatings and adhesives gravure inks and artists' paints. A comprehensive yet practical source of reference Coatings Materials and Surface Coatings provides an excellent foundation for comparing the properties and performance of coatings and choosing suitable materials based on specific service needs and environmental factors.
